This was probably one of the BEST explanations on OpenAI Assistant API.

AMAZING WAY OF EXPLAIN IT! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I never really comment on videos but just wanted to say you do a great job at explaining things and keeping it stupid simple. On top of that the extra time put into the editing to make it visually easier to comprehend. And the source file included in the description. 🙌

Hey Nathan! Thank you so much for saying that! I really appreciate it because I've been putting a lot of work into these videos. I have a lot more content coming out for you guys!

@nathankasa6220 5 ай бұрын

I can tell! This is the type of content I was thinking to make if nobody else did because it’s always content consisting of code heavy videos without real life examples or anything actually done in the whole video. Sometimes it’s like “what could’ve been done better” if views don’t blow up. But trust, this video was perfect. I think I followed a little while ago based off one of your other videos, probably because you explain things well. And now this one popped up on my feed when I opened the app. Keep at it 🙌

Brandon, you are so helpful and clear. Thank you. Quick question: using the Tesla example you shared, can the assistant respond utilising both the file and the openai LLM as source mixing content for the response?

@bhancock_ai 5 ай бұрын

Great questions! So all you have to do is adjust the instructions you provide to the assistant and instruct it to provide a hybrid response, 50% from the file & 50% from general knowledge within the LLM. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy to help!

@Nick__X 5 ай бұрын

great video - one think I was hoping to find out though was more info around actions. The custom GPT actions seem a lot more intuitive with supplying a path and auth token. The assistant actions seem a bit more confusing and less documentation and discussion around them. Info or a video about those would be amamazing. I think a lot of people are making custom gpts and then find out out you cant call those through the API.

Im trying to do this for my expressJs server, when I create the createRun function, it's saying thread_Id not found, is it supposed to be stored somewhere? I am making API calls to each function and passing it via an API client like insomnia but I cannot find the thread_Id anywhere.

great video, Thanks Brandon. Just one question: we passed user entered question to message object, and triggered a Run with assistant_id and thread_id. If this Rum was completed, how do I get assistant's response? Is there any code like this: response.choices[0].message.content ?

@bhancock_ai 3 ай бұрын

Great question! You actually have to go back and refetch the thread once the run completes successfully. It would be nice if the run had that final generated message for us but they OpenAI is more focused on separating out the logic to make it super scalable for us. I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

@SJT-jb9gz 3 ай бұрын

@@bhancock_ai Thanks mate. I have worked out the solution, see sample code below: run = openai.beta.threads.runs.retrieve( thread_id = threadID, run_id = runID ) thread_messages = openai.beta.threads.messages.list(threadID) for msg in thread_messages.data: return JsonResponse({"message": msg.content[0].text.value})

I also found out that it's necessary to have credits to use GPT-4, because when I clicked the 'create' button, it did nothing, and it only started working after I added credits to my account.

If I'm coding an app with multiple different users who can all individually interact with this bot (which has the same instruction for each user), would I use an assistant per user, or the same "master" assistant for all users?

@bhancock_ai 2 ай бұрын

Great question! You would have one master assistant. However, you would create an individual thread for each user. If you want to see this in action, I definitely recommend checking out this full stack tutorial I released a few weeks ago! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mJeDY5eBq9Ctf40.html Hope that helps!

@ollieq5259 2 ай бұрын

@@bhancock_ai With this architecture is it possible to have multiple threads per user, whereby each subsequent thread is aware of the context of all previous threads (for that user)? Basically I'm thinking of an app where a user can individually talk to the AI robot (master assistant), but has a chat log per day. Intuitively this means a thread per day, but when a user starts a new chat for a new day (and so a new thread is created), the AI robot they're talking to has to be aware of all previous messages sent on previous days in the other threads? Is this possible? So basically what I'm asking is, is it possible to create a new thread with an assistant, whereby the assistant responding in this new thread is responding based off context from a set of other previous threads?

PYTHON...any comments regarding doing this on Python? I mean I know I can do the translation from Node JS ...

@bhancock_ai 5 ай бұрын

Great question! The reason I'm not the biggest fan of doing web projects in Python is because they are more difficult to deploy for others to use. For example, if you make a NextJS project like I did in the tutorial, you can easily deploy the project to Vercel so that thousands of people can use your project instantly. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Happy to help!

Well, having said that i don't have any prior knowledge of how does this new open ai (API) world is connects, works, I can say now I have an idea in some case after watching this. So, Can you create one more video which can explain a unit and average cost to perform all of these functions?, take any business that needs this assistant and they want to implement this, but they don't have any ideas of how does the pricing model works, and if they do so, they maybe don't know how to optimized it. It will be very helpful if you crate any short video that give use an overview of pricing too. TIA.

@bhancock_ai 3 ай бұрын

Hey Owais! Great question! If I were you, I'd checkout this page here: openai.com/pricing The short answer to your question is that OpenAI is going to charge your everything. Every time you use ChatGPT 4, it costs you a few pennies.When you use the code interpreter, it costs a few more pennies. When you use the retrieval functionality, it costs a few more pennies.

Hi is using the assitant API free?

@bhancock_ai 2 ай бұрын

You can use the Assistant for free but you can only make a few request per hour. If you are going to create a project or do a lot of testing, you'll probably want to upgrade out of the free tier.
