<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>My current setup is using:<br>
AI module version : 1.0.4<br>
OpenAI Provider: 1.0.2</p>
<p>I have observed a fatal error while saving a node after enabling automator for a body field, that uses "LLM: text" and "Default vision model" using an image field.</p>
<p><code>TypeError: Drupal\ai\OperationType\Chat\ChatMessage::__construct(): Argument #2 ($text) must be of type string, null given, called in /var/www/html/docroot/modules/contrib/ai_provider_openai/src/Plugin/AiProvider/OpenAiProvider.php on line 342 in Drupal\ai\OperationType\Chat\ChatMessage->__construct() (line 47 of modules/contrib/ai/src/OperationType/Chat/ChatMessage.php).</code></p>
<p>I saw that the response is not always returning a string , its null sometimes and then its being pased to the ChatMessage class.<br>
$message = new ChatMessage($response['choices'][0]['message']['role'], $response['choices'][0]['message']['content']);</p>
<p>RESPONSE example: </p>
<blockquote><p>"id" => "chatcmpl-AzfllweZLeHljsk901oECIOtGmLTT"<br>

<h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<p>- Enable ai automator module<br>
- use any content type and add a image field to the content type.<br>
- For Text (formatted, long, with summary) e.g body field enable the automator using "LLM: text"<br>
- use the default vision model and chose the image field type under provider configuration.<br>
- make sure you add a promt for the field.<br>
- save the settings and create a new node for the same. (The issue is appearing intermittently)</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>adding a null coalescing operator to this line has fixed the issue:<br>
<code>$message = new ChatMessage($response['choices'][0]['message']['role'], $response['choices'][0]['message']['content']); </code><br>
TO<br>
<code> $message = new ChatMessage($response['choices'][0]['message']['role'], $response['choices'][0]['message']['content'] ?? "");</code></p>
