Assistant in Playground error

Here’s some info about optimizing the AI’s use of its myfiles_browser tool when using that model.

'file_search' Tool Broken (Assistants API)

Perhaps a reminder - and a reminder to the AI - is necessary. file_search is the name of the internal vector store search tool only when gpt-4o is selected. When employing other models, it has the same name as the retired “retrieval” tool had, myfiles_browser. So you need to not only understand that you can’t talk directly to the AI about “files” (for there are no files for it to observe or read, only a search that can return ranked document chunks), but you also must instruct the name of t…

If you can interact with the assistant in the Playground then, it is then simply a complex matter of coding, making all the API calls, using your existing Assistant that has file search enabled with a vector store, deciding on how you will be maintaining and mapping sessions to chat threads, run new messages, poll for a finished response or stream them, use an event handler and collect and run tool requests for the AI, etc - through all the API calls that you can read about in Documentation and API Reference.
