I have a simple json file, uploading the file using the api works just fine. When executing the assistant api it produces an message as such: It seems like there has been a misunderstanding. The file you provided isn’t accessible with the myfiles_browser tool, which is necessary for me to retrieve …

I’m trying to follow your steps but the Assistant still doesn’t retrieve some info from the knowledge base this is the code of my Assistant: from time import sleep from flask import Flask, request, jsonify, render_template, abort import openai import os # Connect to OpenAI API openai_api_key = os…

I guess I solved it, the association with an assistant is necessary In Python: with open(filename,'rb') as fp: fo = client.files.create( # the next line makes the filename available file = (filenam,fp), purpose = 'assistants', ) …

When using this in a thread when a user uploads a file, this will add it to the assistant object itself permanently (visible in the web interface) Now if multiple people are using the assistant with the api they can get info about other peoples file uploads, and you will reach max files fast. I don…

Yes the files will be visible through the web interface - but if there’s an ai application through which the users are interacting w/ the assistant - then the uploaded document is accessible to that user only (unless they somehow know what other documents have been uploaded and what their content is…

Thanks a lot! I was struggling with this as well :sweat_smile: @Mosredna has a valid point though. I am not sure what the right approach should be.

For me it works just fine to add the file Id;s into the message in a thread. Sometimes the AI says it can’t acces them, but you just tell the AI that it can :slight_smile: const userMessage = await openai.beta.threads.messages.create(thread.id, { role: "user", content: mes…

Hi @ShisuiX , Did you resolve some of the info not being retrieved from the kb? Presumably either giving your AI Assitant instructions about delimiting info could help as I found that I needed to sometimes give the Prompt explicit details to decode a doc or I had to rebuild my doc in excel to remo…

Hi, desijadoo, I like your approach very much, personally I think it is correct. I understand that if you add a file as an assintant user, it would not be included in the training data of the system. But, from my own experience, I have problems getting the files to stay in my model after one day. I…

@ruben.iberley That is strange behavior. I have created multiple assistants and I am able to upload files and associate it to the assistant and those files are retained within the assistant. I have only used GPT 4.0 Turbo (gpt-4-1106-preview) model. Are you sure you are clicking on “Save” button in…

Yes I have, in fact I usually save a couple of times just in case. I think the problem might be that the model was cloned from a previous assistant which had a different engine. But even so, I understand that when cloning a assistant, it should be cloned with the files associated with the previous o…
