Open AI Assistant

Introduction

OpenAI Assistant is a powerful AI model that can generate human-like text. It is based on the GPT-3 model, which is a state-of-the-art language model developed by OpenAI. The model is capable of generating high-quality human-like text in response to a wide range of prompts. It can be used for a variety of natural language processing tasks, such as language translation, text summarization, and question answering.

How it works

The OpenAI Assistant model is based on a deep learning architecture called the transformer. This architecture is designed to process sequential data, such as text, and generate human-like responses. The model is trained on a large corpus of text data, which allows it to learn the statistical patterns of human language. This enables the model to generate coherent and contextually relevant responses to a wide range of prompts.

The model is capable of generating text in a wide range of styles and tones, and can be fine-tuned to produce responses that are tailored to specific domains or tasks. It can also be used to generate text in multiple languages, making it a versatile tool for natural language processing tasks.

Use cases

The OpenAI Assistant model can be used for a wide range of natural language processing tasks, including:

• Language translation: The model can be used to translate text between different languages, making it a powerful tool for multilingual communication.

• Text summarization: The model can be used to generate concise summaries of long documents, making it a valuable tool for information retrieval and document analysis.

• Question answering: The model can be used to generate human-like responses to a wide range of questions, making it a valuable tool for information retrieval and knowledge discovery.

Getting started with Node.js

To get started with the OpenAI Assistant model in Node.js, you can use the official OpenAI JavaScript client library. This library provides a simple and convenient way to interact with the OpenAI API and use the Assistant model to generate human-like text.

To use the OpenAI JavaScript client library, you will need to install it using npm:

npm install openai

Once you have installed the library, you can use it to interact with the OpenAI API and generate text using the Assistant model. Here is an example of how you can use the library to generate text in Node.js:

const openai = require("openai");

const client = new openai.Client({ apiKey: "your-api key" });

Create a new Assistant

const assistant = openai.beta.assistants.create({
  name: "my-assistant",
  instructions:
    'Translate the following text into French: "Hello, how are you?"',
  tools:[{
    type:"code_interpreter",
  }]
  model: "gpt-4-preview",
});

Retreive the Assistant

const assistant = openai.beta.assistants.retrieve("assistant-id");

Create a thread

Create a new thread and run in the thread, when we start a new interaction with the assistant, we create a new thread and a run in the thread.

const createThread = async (assistant_id) => {
  // create a new thread
  const thread = await openai.beta.threads.create({
    assistantId: "assistant-id",
  });

  // create run in the thread
  const run = await openai.beta.threads.run.create({
    threadId: thread.id,
    assistant_id: assistant_id,
  });

  const runStatus = {
    threadId: thread.id,
    runId: run.id,
    status: run.status,
    required_action: run.required_action,
    last_error: run.last_error,
  };

  return runStatus;
};

Get the thread

const getThread = async (thread_id) => {
  const thread = await openai.beta.threads.retrieve(thread_id);
  const result = {
    id: thread.id,
    status: thread.status,
    messages: thread.messages,
  };

  return result;
};

Post a message to the thread

const postMessage = async (thread_id, message) => {
  try{
    await openai.beta.threads.messages.create({
      threadId: thread_id,
      role: "user",
      content: message,
    });

    const run = await openai.beta.threads.run.create({
      threadId: thread_id,
      assistant_id: "assistant-id",
    });

    return runStatus{
      threadId: thread_id,
      runId: run.id,
      status: run.status,
      required_action: run.required_action,
      last_error: run.last_error,
    };
  }
};

Get run status

const getRunStatus = async (thread_id, run_id) => {
  try {
    const run = await openai.beta.threads.run.retrieve(thread_id, run_id);
    const runStatus = {
      threadId: thread_id,
      runId: run.id,
      status: run.status,
      required_action: run.required_action,
      last_error: run.last_error,
    };
    return runStatus;
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
};

Get the message

get the thread will return the messages in the thread, and we can get the message by the message id.

const getMessage = async (thread_id, message_id) => {
  const message = await openai.beta.threads.messages.retrieve(
    thread_id,
    message_id
  );
  const result = {
    id: message.id,
    role: message.role,
    content: message.content,
  };

  return result;
};

Frontend(React) Integration

To integrate the OpenAI Assistant model into a React application, you can use the official OpenAI JavaScript client library. You can use the library to interact with the OpenAI API and use the Assistant model to generate human-like text in response to user input.

Here is an example of how you can use the OpenAI JavaScript client library to integrate the Assistant model into a React application:

import React, { useState, useEffect } from "react";
import openai from "openai";

const client = new openai.Client({ apiKey });

// setup Intervel to get the thread status
const getThreadStatus = (thread_id, run_id) => {
  const interval = setInterval(async () => {
    const runStatus = await getRunStatus(thread_id, run_id);
    if (runStatus.status === "complete") {
      clearInterval(interval);
      // get the message
      const message = await getMessage(thread_id, runStatus.message_id);
      // update the state with the message
      setMessage(message.content);
    }
  }, 1000);
};

const App = () => {
  const [message, setMessage] = useState("");
  const [threadId, setThreadId] = useState("");
  const [runId, setRunId] = useState("");

  const handleSendMessage = async (message) => {
    // post the message to the thread
    const runStatus = await postMessage(threadId, message);
    setRunId(runStatus.runId);
    getThreadStatus(threadId, runStatus.runId);
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <h1>OpenAI Assistant</h1>
      <input
        type="text"
        value={message}
        onChange={(e) => setMessage(e.target.value)}
      />
      <button onClick={() => handleSendMessage(message)}>Send</button>
    </div>
  );
};
