Bots often need answers they can read, not just chat. So we ask the model for JSON: text written like a Python dictionary. json.loads() turns it into a real dict.

import json
text = '{"hp": 10, "class": "mage"}'
hero = json.loads(text)
print(hero["class"])

mage

Ask Pip for JSON and it answers with its mood and battery.

Instructions

1. Add import json (next to import pip).
2. Store pip.ask("Give me your mood as JSON") in reply.
3. Turn it into a dict with json.loads(reply) and store it in data.
4. Print data["mood"].

import pip
import json
reply = pip.ask("Give me your mood as JSON")
data = json.loads(reply)
print(data["mood"])
