# Code examples
These code examples help you quickly get started with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic. You can access the complete list of examples in the [Amazon Nova Sonic GitHub samples](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/tree/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic) page.
## Getting started examples
For simple examples designed to get you started using Amazon Nova 2 Sonic, refer to the following implementations:
+ [Basic Amazon Nova 2 Sonic implementation (Python)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/blob/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/sample-codes/console-python/nova_sonic_simple.py): A basic implementation that demonstrates how events are structured in the bidirectional streaming API. This version does not support barge-in functionality (interrupting the assistant while it is speaking) and does not implement true bidirectional communication.
+ [Full featured Amazon Nova 2 Sonic implementation (Python)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/blob/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/sample-codes/console-python/nova_sonic_tool_use.py): The full-featured implementation with real bidirectional communication and barge-in support. This allows for more natural conversations where users can interrupt the assistant while it is speaking, similar to human conversations.
+ [Amazon Nova 2 Sonic with tool use (Python)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/blob/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/sample-codes/console-python/nova_sonic_tool_use.py): An advanced implementation that extends the bidirectional communication capabilities with tool use examples. This version demonstrates how Amazon Nova 2 Sonic can interact with external tools and APIs to provide enhanced functionality.
+ [Nova Sonic with text and mixed Input (Python)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/blob/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/sample-codes/console-python/nova_sonic_with_text.py): Example implementation to showcase how Amazon Nova 2 Sonic can have text as an input.
+ [Java WebSocket implementation (Java)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/tree/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/sample-codes/websocket-java): This example implements a bidirectional WebSocket-based audio streaming application that integrates with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic for real-time speech-to-speech conversation using Java.
+ [NodeJS Websocket implementation (NodeJS)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/tree/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/sample-codes/websocket-nodejs): This example implements a bidirectional WebSocket-based audio streaming application that integrates with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic for real-time speech-to-speech conversation using NodeJS.
+ [NodeJS Websocket implementation (C\$1)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/tree/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/sample-codes/websocket-dotnet): This example implements a bidirectional WebSocket-based audio streaming application that integrates with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic for real-time speech-to-speech conversation using .NET.
## Advanced use cases
For advanced examples demonstrating more complex use cases, refer to the following implementations:
+ [Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base implementation (NodeJS)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/tree/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/repeatable-patterns/bedrock-knowledge-base): This example demonstrates how to build an intelligent conversational application by integrating Amazon Nova 2 Sonic with Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base using NodeJS.
+ [Chat History Management (Python)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/tree/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/repeatable-patterns/chat-history-logger): This example includes a chat history logging system that captures and preserves all interactions between the user and Amazon Nova 2 Sonic using Python.
+ [Hotel Reservation Cancellation (NodeJS)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/tree/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/repeatable-patterns/customer-service/hotel-cancellation-websocket): This example demonstrates a practical customer service use case for Amazon Nova 2 Sonic, implementing a hotel reservation cancellation system using NodeJS.
+ [LangChain Knowledge Base integration (Python)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/tree/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/repeatable-patterns/langchain-knowledge-base): This implementation demonstrates how to integrate Amazon Nova 2 Sonic speech-to-speech capabilities with a LangChain-powered knowledge base for enhanced conversational experiences using Python.
+ [Conversation Resumption (NodeJS)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/tree/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/repeatable-patterns/resume-conversation): This example demonstrates how to implement conversation resumption capabilities with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic. Using a hotel reservation cancellation scenario as the context, the application shows how to maintain conversation state across sessions, allowing users to seamlessly continue interactions that were previously interrupted using NodeJS.
+ [Nova 2 Sonic Speaks First (NodeJS)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/tree/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/repeatable-patterns/nova-sonic-speaks-first): This example demonstrates how Amazon Nova 2 Sonic can initiate conversations proactively.
+ [Session Continuation (Python)](https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-nova-samples/tree/main/speech-to-speech/amazon-nova-2-sonic/repeatable-patterns/session-continuation/console-python): This example demonstrates how to enable unlimited conversation length with Amazon Nova 2 Sonic by implementing seamless session transitions. The application automatically creates and switches to new sessions in the background, allowing conversations to continue indefinitely without interruption or context loss.
