Services

AwsS3Service

Handles file uploads and management with AWS S3.

BrowserService

Provides web scraping and content extraction capabilities using Playwright.

ImageDescriptionService

Processes and analyzes images to generate descriptions. Supports multiple providers:

• Local processing using Florence model
• OpenAI Vision API
• Google Gemini

Configuration:

# For OpenAI Vision
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key

# For Google Gemini
GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY=your_google_api_key

Provider selection:

• If imageVisionModelProvider is set to google/openai, it will use this one.
• Else if model is set to google/openai, it will use this one.
• Default if nothing is set is OpenAI.

The service automatically handles different image formats, including GIFs (first frame extraction).

Features by provider:

Local (Florence):

• Basic image captioning
• Local processing without API calls

OpenAI Vision:

• Detailed image descriptions
• Text detection
• Object recognition

Google Gemini 1.5:

• High-quality image understanding
• Detailed descriptions with natural language
• Multi-modal context understanding
• Support for complex scenes and content

The provider can be configured through the runtime settings, allowing easy switching between providers based on your needs.

LlamaService

Provides local LLM capabilities using LLaMA models.

PdfService

Extracts and processes text content from PDF files.

SpeechService

Handles text-to-speech conversion using ElevenLabs and VITS.

TranscriptionService

Converts speech to text using various providers.

VideoService

Processes video content, including YouTube video downloads and transcription.

Actions

describeImage

Analyzes and generates descriptions for images.

// Example usage
const result = await runtime.executeAction("DESCRIBE_IMAGE", {
    imageUrl: "path/to/image.jpg",
});

Dependencies

The plugin requires several peer dependencies:

• onnxruntime-node: 1.20.1
• whatwg-url: 7.1.0

And trusted dependencies:

• sharp: 0.33.5

Safety & Security

File Operations

• Path Sanitization: All file paths are sanitized to prevent directory traversal attacks
• File Size Limits: Enforced limits on upload sizes
• Type Checking: Strict file type validation
• Temporary File Cleanup: Automatic cleanup of temporary files

API Keys & Credentials

• Environment Isolation: Sensitive credentials are isolated in environment variables
• Access Scoping: Services are initialized with minimum required permissions
• Key Rotation: Support for credential rotation without service interruption

Media Processing

• Resource Limits: Memory and CPU usage limits for media processing
• Timeout Controls: Automatic termination of long-running processes
• Format Validation: Strict media format validation before processing

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Service Initialization Failures

Error: Service initialization failed
