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 GPT-5 nano 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 GPT-5 nano in a Python Task

qbash.ai.raw calls GPT-5 nano 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.

main.py
ticket = qbash.inputs.get("ticket")

triage = qbash.ai.raw(
    f"Summarize this support ticket and rate its urgency:\n\n{ticket}",
    model="gpt-5-nano",
    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)
