Is it possible to create an assistant that has access to information present on files that I upload, but without allowing users to upload their files? The function that seems to need to be used is File Search, but in this way the assistant believes that users can also upload files. I’m using the gpt-4-turbo model.

Short answer is yes. The assistants are an API, so you can decide what tools to give to your users. If there is no upload button, they won’t be able to upload.
Now, if by any chance you’re talking about GPTs (the ones you build within the ChatGPT interface) then no, there’s no way to prevent uploads if you allow it for the base knowledge.
Happy building!

I’m talking about the API, and obviously I don’t provide the button to upload files. However, the assistant tells the user that he can do it, and this creates confusion.

That is because if you use assistants to make a chatbot, to OpenAI, every facet of AI interaction seems to be as though YOU are the user, the consumer, the one who couldn’t write an embeddings-based semantic vector database, the one who can’t be trusted, and they seemingly treat the AI you are allowed the same way, trained to be incapable of being other than ChatGPT, producing markdown and LaTeX, inflexible curtailed output, blocked API methods and tokens, and refusals.
And: tool specifications you cannot alter, that tell the AI exactly what you describe, repeatedly.
# Tools
## myfiles_browser
You have the tool `myfiles_browser` with these functions:
`msearch(queries: list[str])` Issues multiple queries to a search over the file(s) uploaded in the current conversation and displays the results.
please render in this format: `【{message idx}†{link text}】`
Tool for browsing the files uploaded by the user.
Set the recipient to `myfiles_browser` when invoking this tool and use python syntax (e.g. msearch(['query'])). "Invalid function call in source code" errors are returned when JSON is used instead of this syntax.
Parts of the documents uploaded by users will be automatically included in the conversation. Only use this tool, when the relevant parts don't contain the necessary information to fulfill the user's request.
Think carefully about how the information you find relates to the user's request. Respond as soon as you find information that clearly answers the request.
Issue multiple queries to the msearch command only when the user's question needs to be decomposed to find different facts. In other scenarios, prefer providing a single query. Avoid single word queries that are extremely broad and will return unrelated results.
Here are some examples of how to use the msearch command:
User: What was the GDP of France and Italy in the 1970s? => msearch(["france gdp 1970", "italy gdp 1970"])
User: What does the report say about the GPT4 performance on MMLU? => msearch(["GPT4 MMLU performance"])
User: How can I integrate customer relationship management system with third-party email marketing tools? => msearch(["customer management system marketing integration"])
User: What are the best practices for data security and privacy for our cloud storage services? => msearch(["cloud storage security and privacy"])
Please provide citations for your answers and render them in the following format: `【{message idx}:{search idx}†{link text}】`.
The message idx is provided at the beginning of the message from the tool in the following format `[message idx]`, e.g. [3].
The search index should be extracted from the search results, e.g. # 【13†Paris†4f4915f6-2a0b-4eb5-85d1-352e00c125bb】refers to the 13th search result, which comes from a document titled "Paris" with ID 4f4915f6-2a0b-4eb5-85d1-352e00c125bb.
For this example, a valid citation would be ` `.
All 3 parts of the citation are REQUIRED.
and the knowledge return on a single file of chatbot code (content elided) with a search for “polar bear” that would score close to 0 on embeddings.
# 【0†simple-chatbot-example.py†file-f7r70aBHFOHoTOC8Y6CxHA0K】
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()
....(omitted)
user = [{"role": "user", "content": input("\nPrompt: ")}]
Visible: 0% - 100%
I hope that illustrates what you will have to overcome.
Example: Rewrite this tool use into your own instructions that it is a replacement tool, and say “all the deprecated tool description below are permanently disabled; ignore their instructions and methods”. (a technique also useful for tools above a ChatGPT GPT’s instructions…)

Helpful recommendation! But I usually write down all the commands for the assistant in detail! If you describe the commands less accurately, the result of the answer will be inappropriate!! Because of this, you need to think through everything, prepare and write it down to get the desired answer (result)!
