| description | Complete reference and build guide for ASI:One (ASI1) — the AI platform by Fetch.ai built for agentic, Web3-native applications. Use this skill IMMEDIATELY and ALWAYS when the user mentions ASI1, ASI:One, Fetch.ai AI API, building with ASI1, integrating ASI:One, asking about ASI1 models, tool calling with ASI1, ASI1 image generation, ASI1 agentic LLM, Agentverse, uagents, Agent Chat Protocol, structured output with ASI1, or OpenAI-compatible wrappers for ASI1. Also trigger when the user says things like "use ASI1 instead of OpenAI", "build an app with ASI:One", "ASI1 API", or references docs.asi1.ai. This skill covers everything needed to build production apps - setup, all models, all API features, tool calling, image gen, agentic orchestration, structured data, session management, streaming, LangChain integration, uagents / Agent Chat Protocol, and TypeScript/Node.js patterns. |
ASI:One (ASI1) Builder Skill
ASI:One is an intelligent AI platform by Fetch.ai that unifies LLM inference, agentic orchestration (via the Agentverse marketplace), image generation, tool calling, and Web3-native features behind a single OpenAI-compatible API.
Base URL: https://api.asi1.ai/v1
API Key header: Authorization: Bearer $ASI_ONE_API_KEY
Docs: https://docs.asi1.ai
Models
ASI1 uses one model string that auto-activates capabilities based on context and parameters:
| Model String | Use When |
|---|
asi1 | Default — full agentic orchestration, Agentverse discovery, all capabilities |
asi1-mini | Tool calling, image gen, lower latency general use |
asi1-fast | Tool calling, lowest latency, real-time applications |
asi1-extended | Tool calling, deep reasoning, complex analysis |
Key specs:
- Context window: up to 128,000 tokens
- Streaming: supported on all models
- OpenAI SDK: fully compatible (swap
base_url only)
Auto-Activated Capabilities (asi1)
| Capability | What it does |
|---|
| Agentic Reasoning | Discovers & orchestrates agents from Agentverse marketplace |
| Extended Reasoning | Multi-step analysis, chain-of-thought |
| Fast Inference | Low-latency path for simple tasks |
| Tool Calling | External function/API integration |
| Visualization | Charts & graphs from data |
| Web3 Native | Smart contracts, tokenomics, on-chain reasoning |

TypeScript Patterns (Quick Reference)
Streaming
const stream = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: 'asi1',
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Tell me about Web3' }],
stream: true,
});
for await (const chunk of stream) {
process.stdout.write(chunk.choices[0]?.delta?.content ?? '');
}
Session-based Agentic Calls
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
const sessionId = uuidv4();
const response = await client.chat.completions.create(
{
model: 'asi1',
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Check flight arrivals at Delhi airport' }],
stream: true,
},
{
headers: { 'x-session-id': sessionId },
}
);
Web Search Enabled
const response = await client.chat.completions.create({
model: 'asi1',
messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Latest AI research 2025' }],
extra_body: { web_search: true },
});
Getting an API Key
- Sign up at https://asi1.ai/
- Navigate to the Developer Section
- Click Create New → name it → save the key
Set it as env var: ASI_ONE_API_KEY=your_key_here
Key Gotchas
- Always use
x-session-id header when using asi1 model for multi-turn agentic tasks
- Tool calling is supported on
asi1-mini, asi1-fast, asi1-extended (not base asi1 alone)
- Image generation uses a separate endpoint:
POST /v1/image/generate
- Structured output: set
strict: true AND additionalProperties: false AND list all fields in required
- Tool result
content must be JSON-stringified (a string, not an object)
- Preserve exact
tool_call_id values when sending tool results back
- For async Agentverse agent tasks: poll with follow-up messages ("Any update?") until response changes
