Explanation of OpenAI Assistants API:
Let's walk through an example to help you understand how to use the Assistants API effectively.

1. Create Assistant:

• Generate a single assistant with the instruction to "Reply to the best of your knowledge." You can do this easily through the OpenAI User Interface or use the "Create Assistant" action step in Pabbly Connect.

2. Manage Threads:

• Set up a unique thread for each conversation with a specific member. To keep track of thread IDs and unique customer IDs, you can use Google Sheets. (NOTE: You have the option to create a unique thread using either the OpenAI User Interface or the "Create Thread" action step in Pabbly Connect.)

3. Handle New Messages:

• When a new message arrives from a customer, perform a lookup in Google Sheets to find the corresponding thread ID. If the thread ID exists, direct the new message to that thread. If not, create a new thread and send the message to this newly established thread.

By following these steps, subsequent messages from the same user will automatically go to the specific thread associated with that user. This process ensures that past conversations are stored, enabling OpenAI to recall the context of previous interactions.


Actions:

1. "Create Assistant"

• Use Case: To your personal assistant inside the OpenAI account.
• Select the "Create Assistant" action, connect your OpenAI account, enter the name of the assistant, and instructions, choose the model, and other details, and click "Save and send test request."
  
  

2. "Create Thread"

• Use Case: To create a thread inside the OpenAI account.
• Select the "Create Thread" action, connect your OpenAI account, and click "Save and send a test request."
  
  

3. "Create Message"

• Use Case: To create a message inside the thread in the OpenAI account.
• Select the "Create Message" action, connect your OpenAI account, enter the thread ID and other details, and click "Save and send test request." Here i have mapped the thread ID from "Create Thread" action step.
  
  

4. "Create Run"

• Use Case: To execute a run of your message in the OpenAI account.
• Select the "Create Run" action, connect your OpenAI account, enter the thread ID, choose your assistant, and click "Save and send test request."
  
  

5. "List Message"

• Use Case: To list all the messages inside the thread in the OpenAI account.
• Select the "List Message" action, connect your OpenAI account, enter the thread ID, and click "Save and send test request."
