Training Materials#

Code Examples#

Production-ready code examples demonstrating all aspects of the AI integrations:

• ElevenLabs - Text-to-speech, streaming, voice management, cloning
• ComfyUI/RunComfy - Workflow execution, image generation, batch processing
• Civitai - Model discovery, image/video generation, LoRA training

Hands-on Exercises#

Progressive exercises to build practical skills:

Workshops#

Interactive guided sessions:

1. Getting Started (2 hours) - Setup and basics
2. Production Patterns (3 hours) - Streaming, batching, resilience
3. Advanced Architecture (4 hours) - Orchestration, observability

Video Tutorials#

Scripts for video content (can be used as written guides):

1. Getting Started with Oshun AI (15-20 min)
2. Streaming and Real-Time AI (12-15 min)
3. Batch Processing and Performance (planned)
4. Building Resilient Applications (planned)
5. Complete AI Pipeline (planned)

Learning Paths#

Quick Start (1 day)#

1. Read: examples/README.md
2. Follow: examples/elevenlabs-examples.ts sections 1-2
3. Complete: Beginner exercises 1-3
4. Build: Simple text-to-speech application

Complete Program (2 weeks)#

For comprehensive mastery:

Week 1: Foundations

• Days 1-2: Workshop 1 + Beginner exercises
• Days 3-4: Examples deep dive
• Day 5: Practice project

Week 2: Production Skills

• Days 1-2: Workshop 2 + Intermediate exercises
• Days 3-4: Advanced patterns
• Day 5: Capstone project

Self-Paced#

Study at your own pace:

1. Start with video tutorials for overview
2. Work through examples section by section
3. Complete corresponding exercises
4. Build projects to reinforce learning

Prerequisites#

Technical Requirements#

• Node.js 18+
• pnpm package manager
• TypeScript knowledge
• Code editor (VS Code recommended)

API Keys#

Environment Setup#

# Clone repository
git clone git@github.com:GreyChimp/oshun.git
cd oshun

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

# Set up environment variables
export ELEVENLABS_API_KEY=your_key
export RUNCOMFY_API_KEY=your_key
export CIVITAI_API_KEY=your_key

Key Concepts#

Provider Pattern#

All Oshun AI integrations follow a consistent provider pattern:

// 1. Initialize with configuration
const provider = new Provider({
  apiKey: process.env.API_KEY,
  timeout: 30000,
  maxRetries: 3,
});

// 2. Execute operations
const result = await provider.operation(params);

// 3. Handle errors
try {
  await provider.operation(params);
} catch (error) {
  // Handle appropriately
}

// 4. Monitor health
const healthy = await provider.healthCheck();
const stats = provider.getStats();

// 5. Clean up
await provider.shutdown();

Resilience Patterns#

Production applications need resilience:

• Retry with backoff - Handle transient failures
• Circuit breaker - Prevent cascade failures
• Fallback - Degrade gracefully
• Rate limiting - Respect API limits

Resource Management#

Properly manage connections and resources:

• Connection pooling - Reuse expensive connections
• Cleanup managers - Ensure proper shutdown
• Memory management - Handle large payloads

Observability#

Monitor your AI applications:

• Metrics - Track requests, latency, errors
• Health checks - Verify service availability
• Logging - Record important events
• Tracing - Follow requests through system

Getting Help#

Resources#

• API Documentation
• GitHub Issues
• Discord Community (if available)

Common Issues#

Q: My API key isn't working A: Check that the key is set correctly and hasn't expired. Try regenerating.

Q: Requests are timing out A: Increase timeout in config. Check network connectivity. Verify API status.

Q: I'm hitting rate limits A: Implement proper rate limiting. Use batch processing with delays.

Q: Memory issues with large files A: Use streaming instead of loading entire files into memory.
