I created a custom GPT and an assistant using the Assistant API some a q and a bot for a company. Both have the same instructions and access to the same exact set of documents. Same exact model also. However, it appears that the custom GPT consistently delivers more reliable and comprehensive result…

I have some difficulty understanding the purpose and goal of creating the Assistant API. Am I correct in understanding that essentially it is a tool similar to GPTs, with the ability to train a specific model on one’s own data and integrate it into one’s web application outside the openai platform?

As far as I understand, you’re right. GPTs are used as a part of “ChatGPT ecosystem”, and Assistant API is a tool for using OpenAIs models outside of that ecosystem, for example a chatbot on your own website.

I encountered the same problem. It seems the implementation is different between GPTs and assistant. Benzri, have you made any progress on this issue?

I have noticed the exact same thing, I guess there is a reason the assistant API is in Beta. Using same set of docs and instructions, the “My GPT” version comes up with much better results than Assistant API. Even when tweaking the instructions to be even more specific, assistant seems to miss the m…

Can you create a function to use the api to call on the Gpt to run the query?

Exactly my thoughts as well. Whats the point when we already have Custom GPTs?

Not needing to produce a product solely for the benefit of driving ChatGPT Plus subscriptions to OpenAI’s own site in order to use your custom AI function?

Same for me. The custom GPT I built as a help assistant vastly outperforms the Assistants API with the exact same settings and documents. Web browsing not a variable because vast majority of our site is behind a login. The gap is significant: the Assistants API is generating incorrect information ab…

I think Assistant feature will dissapear. Or merged somehow to ChatGPTs feature, allowing ChatGPTs to be called from an API. They are mostly the same and a they are a little confusing. This is a whole new product, a lot of things will change, quickly.

Hi and welcome to the Developer Forum!

You cannot call a GPT.
You can call an Assistant.
GPTs can call assistants if properly configured.
Assistants cannot call GPTs.
