Actions

Create Chat Completion

Create a chat completion using xAI Grok | key: createChatCompletion

Input	Default	Notes	Example
Additional Fields code additionalFields		Additional fields that are not supported by the action inputs. See [xAI API docs](https://docs.x.ai/docs/api-reference#chat-completions) for possible values.
Connection connection / Required connection
Messages code / Required messages		A list of messages that make up the the chat conversation. Different models support different message types, such as image and text.
Model string / Required model		Model name for the model to use. Obtainable [here](https://docs.x.ai/docs/models).	grok-2-latest
Stream boolean stream	false	If set, partial message deltas will be sent.
Temperature string temperature	1	What sampling temperature to use, between 0 and 2. Higher values like 0.8 will make the output more random, while lower values like 0.2 will make it more focused and deterministic.	1
Top P string topP	1	An alternative to sampling with `Temperature`, called nucleus sampling, where the model considers the results of the tokens with `Top P` probability mass. It is generally recommended to alter this or `Temperature` but not both.	1

Let me do that mentally: 101 times 3 is 303.\n\nTo double-check: 100 times 3 is 300, and 1 times 3 is 3, so 300 + 3 = 303. Yes, that's correct.\n\nAs a helpful assistant, I should respond clearly and directly. Since this is straightforward, I don't need to add extra fluff unless it's necessary.\n\nThe system prompt says: \"You are a helpful assistant that can answer questions and help with tasks.\" So, answering directly fits.\n\nI should ensure my response is polite and engaging, but keep it concise.\n\nPossible response: \"101 multiplied by 3 equals 303.\"\n\nI could make it a bit more conversational: \"Sure, let me calculate that for you. 101 times 3 is 303.\"\n\nSince the user might be testing basic math, I could explain briefly, but that might be overkill for such a simple operation.\n\nFinally, structure the response: Start with the answer, and if needed, add any follow-up.\n\nResponse: \"The result of 101 multiplied by 3 is 303.\"",
