&lt;p>Dapr&amp;rsquo;s conversation API reduces the complexity of securely and reliably interacting with Large Language Models (LLM) at scale. Whether you&amp;rsquo;re a developer who doesn&amp;rsquo;t have the necessary native SDKs or a polyglot shop who just wants to focus on the prompt aspects of LLM interactions, the conversation API provides one consistent API entry point to talk to underlying LLM providers.&lt;/p>

&lt;p>Let&amp;rsquo;s get started using the &lt;a href="https://v1-18.docs.dapr.io/developing-applications/building-blocks/conversation/conversation-overview/">conversation API&lt;/a>. In this guide, you&amp;rsquo;ll learn how to:&lt;/p>
&lt;ul>
&lt;li>Set up one of the available Dapr components (echo) that work with the conversation API.&lt;/li>
&lt;li>Add the conversation client to your application.&lt;/li>
&lt;li>Run the connection using &lt;code>dapr run&lt;/code>.&lt;/li>
&lt;/ul>
&lt;h2 id="set-up-the-conversation-component">Set up the conversation component&lt;/h2>
&lt;p>Create a new configuration file called &lt;code>conversation.yaml&lt;/code> and save to a components or config sub-folder in your application directory.&lt;/p></description></item></channel></rss>
