How to make a function call and get a textual response at the same time?

ok, I haven’t done the streaming thing, sorry can’t help there, but this is the gist of what I do in the function call def:

{
    "name": "reply_text_and_call_function",
    "description": "",
    "parameters": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
            "reply_to_user": {
                "type": "string",
                "description": "What you want to say to the user",
            },
            "param1_for_funtion": {
                "type": "string",
                "description": "First parameter for function you are calling",
            },
            "param2_for_funtion": {
                "type": "string",
                "description": "Second parameter for function you are calling",
            },

        },
        "required": ["reply_to_user","param1_for_funtion","param2_for_funtion" ],
    },
},

The GPT returns the function call, and I run the function and then update the user in a separate chat thread object that I maintain. I don’t pass the input twice, I just wait for the user to repond and then call the GPT again. Hope that helps @amaan.gokrani
