Overview
This tutorial will teach us how to create an AI Assistant using the Create Assistant API request. We will use the Python programming language and Spyder IDE.
Pre-requisites
Create Assistant API Request
In this example, we’re creating an Assistant that is a GPT-4 model with the Code Interpreter tool enabled. The Python code to create a new AI assistant using the API call is as follows:
Code:
“””
Create Assistant API Request
— Python OpenAI SDK
— OpenAI Tutorials — www.TestingDocs.com
“””
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()
try:
assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
name=”TestingDocs Assistant”,
instructions=”A helpful code assistant”,
tools=[{“type”: “code_interpreter”}],
model=”gpt-4-turbo-preview”,
)
except Exception:
print(“An error occurred”)
else:
print(“Assistant created successfully”,assistant)
finally:
pass
This will create a new assistant. The model picked was gpt-4-turbo, and we have enabled the Code Interpreter tool. We can enable the following tools :
- Code Interpreter
- Retrieval
- Function calling
Verification
To verify and cross-check, log in to the OpenAI Platform. Click on the left navigation Assistants tab.
We can see that the assistant was successfully created.
That’s it.
