Examples
Every request on this page was sent to a Jers gateway on 2026-09-23 and every answer came back from it (jers-english unless the request names a model). The answers are shortened: the decision id, the reading report, engine metadata, timings and most usage counters are left out, and a memory hit shows only its text; every field shown has its real name and place. Costs come from the gateway's pricing.json, placeholder prices until its owner sets them. Numbers will differ a little on your machine and with other checkpoints. Regenerate the page for your gateway with python3 cookbooks/build_examples.py.
All requests are POST /v1/systemone with Authorization: Bearer $JERS_API_KEY and Content-Type: application/json; the same bodies work with the Python SDK's client.request("POST", "/v1/systemone", body) or, more comfortably, client.system_one(...).
Getting started
One yes/no question
The smallest possible request: a state and one Noul. The answer is the probability of yes.
Request:

"refund": {
"type": "noul",

Three questions in one request
A choice, a noul and a score about the same message. All are answered in one engine pass.

A conversation as an array
An array of strings keeps the turns in order; the last turn is what is being decided.

Classification and routing
A department with an other option
Always give the engine a way out; a message that fits nothing lands in other instead of the least bad option.
Request:

Intent of a chat message
Six intents, one call. The probabilities show what else it could have been.

Options described with structure
An option can carry what, not_for and examples; the boundary between similar options gets clearer.

Walking a hierarchy, level one
For a deep taxonomy, ask level by level. First the top level. When the confidence is low, as it can be here, the code asks the children of every likely branch instead of trusting the top pick.
Request:

Detection
Personal data in a message

A machine
The subject is a pump; the memory is what the technician knows about it. Watch what the memory does here: the line says 75 C is the limit and the reading is 78, but the engine does not compare numbers, so the line alone may not move the answer. The next example fixes that.

A machine, with the limit checked in code
Your software knows that 78 is above 75: derive compares the reading with the limit in code and, when it is over, hands the engine one sentence that says so. The memory keeps what a technician knows, in words. Without the sentence, the same reading was answered ignore (the example above).

A case file
The subject is an insurance claim; the memory holds what is known about it and what follows from it: the line spells out the consequence ("so it goes to the fraud team first"), because the engine acts on what a line says, not on what a person would conclude from it.
