    "# Interface\n",
    "\n",
    "In an effort to make it as easy as possible to create custom chains, we've implemented a [\"Runnable\"](https://api.python.langchain.com/en/latest/schema/langchain.schema.runnable.Runnable.html#langchain.schema.runnable.Runnable) protocol that most components implement. This is a standard interface with a few different methods, which makes it easy to define custom chains as well as making it possible to invoke them in a standard way. The standard interface exposed includes:\n",
    "\n",
    "- `stream`: stream back chunks of the response\n",
    "- `invoke`: call the chain on an input\n",
    "- `batch`: call the chain on a list of inputs\n",
    "\n",
    "These also have corresponding async methods:\n",
    "\n",
    "- `astream`: stream back chunks of the response async\n",
    "- `ainvoke`: call the chain on an input async\n",
    "- `abatch`: call the chain on a list of inputs async\n",
    "\n",
    "The type of the input varies by component - eg for a prompt it is a dictionary, for a retriever it is a single string.\n",
    "\n",
    "Let's take a look at these methods! To do so, we'll create a super simple PromptTemplate + ChatModel chain."
