I'll take a look at this when I get a chance. I'd like to add it, but I don't think it's a simple task.

@ptbsare - after looking into this some more, the home assistant native LLM integrations have undergone several restructurings that I'll probably need to implement in order to take advantage of the ai task stuff the way it's intended to be implemented. I'm curious, what's your use case for this? Is it just that you want to use ai tasks with LLM's Home Assistant doesn't support, or are you looking for more customization than what's allowed in those?

@michelle-avery : for me this would also be a win! my use case is indeed, being able to use any LLM, both local and through custom openAI compatible API's (to make use of proxied API's and custom agents).

The core AI Task is quite good for any AI related task you wish to perform in an automation etc.

I am currently using a modified openAI component for which I added a base url parameter, but that's not really sustainable, but works as a POC :)

And now that I look of this, given the open nature of HA, the team should come up with a generic open ai compatible core component. You have a great component here, and I'll will sure follow its roadmap! we need more customization and less things tied exclusively to big tech!
