Hi!
Interesting project!
OpenAI has shared some resources to get education projects started. They are mostly focused on ChatGPT but will provide you with a starting point for an assessment of what you will need to provide from a project management perspective when trying to achieve your desired outcome and taking note of the shortcomings.
Then you can also explore the node.js SDK.
If you go through the examples in the platform you will be able to form a better understanding of what specifically may be required from a developer perspective.
A word of caution: the Assistants API is not very cost efficient. If that’s an issue for your org you may have to build some of the functionality on top of the chat.completion endpoints instead. But the assistants API has been created specifically for developers who are looking for a fast turnaround. The decision is ultimately up to you.
The good news is, with a requirement set in hand you will easily come across respectable sources with example code if you decide to go another route.
Also, you can always draw from the knowledge available here in the forum.
If you have more specific questions, please ask!
