# JavaScript

> Learn how to run your first AI inference job using the Livepeer AI JS SDK.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Prerequisites">
    To get the most out of this guide, you’ll need to:

    * [Choose an AI Gateway](/ai/builders/gateways)
    * **Optional**: Get an API key (required for some gateways).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the SDK">
    Get the Livepeer AI JavaScript SDK.

    ```bash theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
    npm add @livepeer/ai
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initialize the SDK">
    The first step is to initialize the SDK (with your API key if required).

    ```js theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
    import { Livepeer } from "@livepeer/ai";

    const livepeer = new Livepeer({
      httpBearer: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
    });
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use the SDK">
    Now that you have the SDK installed and initialized, you can use it to request one of the [available AI services](/ai/pipelines/overview).

    ```js theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"dark-plus"}}
    import { Livepeer } from "@livepeer/ai";

    const livepeer = new Livepeer({
      httpBearer: "<YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN_HERE>",
    });

    async function run() {
      const result = await livepeer.generate.textToImage({
        prompt: "<value>",
      });

      // Handle the result
      console.log(result);
    }

    run();
    ```
  </Step>
