What is qbash?
qbash is where you build Tasks: Python programs that run a business process on managed infrastructure. Your code runs the steps and calls a model like Gemini 3 Flash Preview only at the ones that need judgment, with integrations, memory and files available in the same script.
A developer writes the Task once, and anyone on the team runs it from a form, on a schedule, from a webhook or from chat. Each Task is versioned and every run is logged.

Structured output with Gemini 3 Flash Preview in a Python Task
qbash.ai.raw calls Gemini 3 Flash Preview from a Task. Pass a JSON Schema as output_schema and the reply comes back as a Python dict that matches it, ready to route to a connector.
ticket = qbash.inputs.get("ticket")
triage = qbash.ai.raw(
f"Summarize this support ticket and rate its urgency:\n\n{ticket}",
model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
output_schema={
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"summary": {"type": "string"},
"urgency": {"type": "string", "enum": ["low", "medium", "high"]},
},
"required": ["summary", "urgency"],
},
)
# triage is a dict, e.g. {"summary": "...", "urgency": "high"}
if triage["urgency"] == "high":
qbash.integrations.slack.create_message(
channel="#support",
text=triage["summary"],
)
qbash.output(triage)
Connect Gemini 3 Flash Preview to MCP servers
In qbash chat and a Task's inline prompts, you can attach MCP connectors to Gemini 3 Flash Preview. It calls their tools during the request, for example to read a Postgres table or post to a Slack channel.
This is MCP on the model side. Adding MCP servers to Cursor or Claude Desktop is a separate setup, and qbash can publish your Tasks as an MCP server for those clients as well.
