How to Use OpenAI v2 Assistants in Pipedream

I need help calling in a new v2 (not v1) assistant in Pipedream, starting a new thread with that assistant, training it with my training data via a system command, and then asking it a question and exporting the assistant’s response. While the rest of my workflow runs beautifully, this one hangup is confounding me, as I have had no luck in Python, Node.js, or prebuilt step based solutions. Any help built in any of these three technologies would be greatly appreciated :))

Hi @colsonbenfer,

Based on your request, it seems you’re looking to integrate with an AI assistant, possibly like OpenAI’s GPT-3 or a similar service, using Pipedream. Unfortunately, the specific details about calling a “v2 assistant”, starting a new thread, training it with data via a system command, and exporting the response within Pipedream workflows are not directly covered in the provided documentation. However, I can guide you on how to make an HTTP request to an external API (like an AI assistant’s API) using Node.js in Pipedream, which is a common way to interact with such services.

Given the nature of your request, it sounds like you’re trying to interact with an external AI service’s API. This typically involves making HTTP requests to the service’s endpoints for creating a session (or “thread”), sending training data, asking questions, and receiving responses.

Here’s a generic example of how you might structure a Node.js code step in Pipedream to send an HTTP request to an AI service’s API. This example doesn’t directly call a “v2 assistant” or train it with system commands, as those operations depend on the specific API’s capabilities and endpoints. However, it demonstrates how to make a POST request, which you might use to send data or commands to the API:

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    const response = await axios($, {
      method: "POST",
      url: "https://api.your-ai-service.com/v2/assistants",
      headers: {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
        "Content-Type": "application/json",
      },
      data: {
        // Your payload here. This could be details to start a new thread, training data, or a question for the assistant.
      },
    });

    // Exporting the assistant's response
    return response.data; // Adjust based on how the API returns the response
  },
});

Please replace "https://api.your-ai-service.com/v2/assistants" with the actual endpoint URL of the AI service you’re using, "YOUR_API_KEY" with your actual API key, and the data object with the appropriate payload according to the API’s documentation.

If the AI service you’re trying to use is supported by Pipedream as an app integration, you should check the
