Huxley
Huxley is your intelligent web agent that’s capable of deterministically translating natural language input into LSD.
Contents
Capabilities
Huxley understands the internet on LSD by taking fields labeled in the bibliography plus available modules to translate natural language input into SQL.
When reading an input, Huxley assumes it will match the following structure:
- Any non-negative number of sentences referencing defined knowledge
- Followed by a statement describing web traversing
Or, in written form.
<Sentence referencing defined knowledge>.
<Sentence referencing defined knowledge>.
<Describe web traversing>.
For example here’s a natural language input Huxley would be able to interpret:
Based on andrea, fox_news_module.
Following from yev, random_click.
Starting at fox, do random_click, what headlines are on this page.
Note: The newlines are not necessary, sentences could be separated by spaces and are shown this way for readability.
No REST for the wicked
Huxley can translate natural language input provided via query query parameter to our /huxley endpoint.
curl --url https://lsd.so/huxley
--data-urlencode "query=what posts are on this page?"
--data-urlencode "url=https://news.ycombinator.com"
Note: You have options for how to inform Huxley of the page you’re inquiring about. You can either provide a URL string in the query itself or by using the text this page in the query string accompanied by a url query parameter (as shown above).
curl --url https://lsd.so/huxley
--data-urlencode "query=what posts are on https://news.ycombinator.com"
Querying with natural language
Huxley is used as a fallback when handling queries provided to our database so you can technically also provide natural language over psql like so:
$ psql -h lsd.so -U huxley
psql (16.4 (Ubuntu 16.4-0ubuntu0.24.04.2), server 0.0.0)
WARNING: psql major version 16, server major version 0.0.
Some psql features might not work.
Type "help" for help.
