AI Chatbot

Overview​

The Sparrow AI Chatbot is a built-in assistant within the Sparrow API Testing Tool, designed to help developers move faster when working with APIs. Powered by advanced LLMs like GPT-4o and DeepSeek, the chatbot supports intelligent, multi-turn conversations to assist you in:

  • Generating CURL commands
  • Writing clean API documentation
  • Creating realistic mock data
  • Inserting data directly into requests
  • Debugging errors in API responses

It reads the current API request context (method, URL, headers, body, etc.) so you don’t have to explain things from scratch.

Getting Started​

  1. Open any API request inside the Sparrow API Testing Tool.

  2. The Sparrow AI Chatbot panel will appear on the right.

  3. You can interact with the chatbot in two ways:

    • Click chip buttons for quick actions like Generate CURL, Generate Documentation, Generate Mock Data, etc.

    • Type in natural language (e.g., “Can you convert this to curl?”, “Give me test data for this payload”).

  4. The chatbot uses the current API request (method, URL, headers, body) as context — no need to paste or explain anything.

  5. It supports multi-turn conversations. The bot remembers previous messages, so you can ask follow-up questions or refine its suggestions.

  6. Each conversation is tied to the specific API request you're working on. Switching APIs resets the chatbot context accordingly.

How It Works Behind the Scenes​

Multi-Turn Conversation​

The chatbot supports contextual, multi-round interactions, meaning:

  • It remembers previous prompts and responses
  • You can ask follow-up questions without repeating the request
  • It understands corrections or refinements based on prior steps

Example Flow:

User: Generate documentation for this API  
Bot: [Returns doc]  
User: Can you simplify it?  
Bot: [Returns a shorter version]  
User: Add example error response too
