Welcome to the OpenAI Assistant API Chat repository! This innovative chat application allows users to interact with an AI assistant powered by OpenAI's latest "gpt-4-1106-preview" model. It's an exciting space where technology meets conversation, offering a unique experience of AI interaction.
Please note that this application is currently in the beta phase and is continuously evolving. We are working diligently to enhance the user experience and add new features. During this phase, you may encounter some hiccups or unexpected behavior.
This application is ready to be deployed with Vercel, a cloud platform for static sites and Serverless Functions. Vercel provides an easy way to deploy your applications directly from your repository.
To deploy this application with Vercel, click on the "Deploy with Vercel" button below. This will take you to the Vercel platform where you'll be guided through the deployment process.
Please note that you'll need to provide your OpenAI API key during the deployment process. This key is used to authenticate your application's requests to the OpenAI API.
In addition to the OpenAI API key, you can also specify a default Assistant ID during the deployment process. This ID determines which AI assistant is used in the chat application. If you set this ID, the application will use this assistant for the chat. If you do not set this ID, the application will prompt the user to enter the assistant details.
To deploy the application with both the OpenAI API key and a hardcoded Assistant ID, click on the "Deploy with Vercel" button below. You will be prompted to enter both your OpenAI API key and your Assistant ID.

This module contains functions for various API interactions required by the chat application.
// Example of an API function
export const uploadImageAndGetDescription = async (base64Image) => {
// Code to upload an image and get a description using the OpenAI API
};
export const createAssistant = async (assistantDetails) => {
// Code to create an assistant
};
// Other API functions like 'createThread', 'runAssistant', etc.- Purpose: Provides a centralized and clean interface for API interactions.
- Key Functions:
uploadImageAndGetDescription: Uploads a base64 encoded image and gets a description.createAssistant: Creates a new assistant instance.- Other functions for managing threads, running assistants, etc.
Contains functions related to preparing and managing the chat assistant.
export const prepareUploadFile = async (file: File, setStatusMessage: (message: string) => void): Promise<string> => {

};
export const initializeAssistant = async (assistantDetails, fileId): Promise<string> => {
// Logic to initialize an assistant with given details
};
export const createChatThread = async (inputMessage: string): Promise<string> => {
// Logic to create a chat thread
};- Purpose: Handles assistant-related tasks such as file preparation and assistant initialization.
Manages chat-related functionalities, primarily dealing with messages.
export const submitUserMessage = async (input: string, threadId: string): Promise<void> => {
// Logic to submit a user's message to the chat
};
export const fetchAssistantResponse = async (runId: string, threadId: string): Promise<string> => {

WelcomeForm,InputForm, andMessageListare React components that build the user interface of the chat application.
They use hooks and states to manage user interactions and display chat messages.
These files define various API routes for handling tasks like creating assistants, listing messages, checking run status, etc. They interact with the OpenAI API and provide endpoints for the frontend to call.
