Fantastic Leon! Really like how you don't rush and explain each step and avoid taking shortcuts! Well done!

[mrtin]

It’s a few weeks in since Assistants were released and this is still the video that explains it best!!! Would be great to great to see more Assistants API videos from you!

[LDNCallout]

You are the best! I became a Flowise god using your tutorials, now Flowise has added OpenAi assistants in version 1.4.0

Great video! People may make some interesting assistants directly within OpenAI, but what you explained is the key to making amazing and practical assistants.

[matheus.maiberg]

You are an awesome person, the world needs more people like you. I appreciate every bit of effort that you put into this video. Thank you so much!

This was a great demonstration of how to run the Assistants outside the playground. I haven't seen any other videos though explaining how to hook up the actions to the assistant.

[nickmills]

That was a great intro to the Assistants API. Concise, and easy to understand.

[lyda]

Thanks for such a useful video. It's taken me days to find a video that actually shows you step by step how to create and import the assistant. And you explained it in such an easy to understand way.

[AleXzorZ]

Yes please, more videos on the assistant API! This guide is the first one I've seen that actually got me coding along (I'm noob) 8-) I feel like i gradually started to understand the logic of the language. Thanks!

[bigbadcatbigbcy]

This tutorial is so clear. You can get everything you need to do with openai api. Thanks a lot

[kirilkirchev]

Thanks for the comprehensive approach in your videos. They always have straight to the point approach. I am a great fan of your channel since I discovered it in April this year. I have a question - do you use some tools when creating an audio for a video?

[traxtibidox]

I was waiting for this video from you 😂 ❤️
Thank you so much for this Leon 🙏

[brilliant]

Thanks Leon, I'd love to see how you work with tools and functions and how to bring some decision making into the AI.

[codearabawy]

Thank you very much! I watched the DevDay keynote and your video to understand the practical side of it. Would really be helpful if you make a video for calling assistance apis functions too.

[joshbrowndev]

Thanks Leon! Great video and fantastic explanations. Would love to see more Assistants related content

[NickSealPueo]

Thanks this was helpful. I couldn’t figure out why I kept getting assistant api errors until watching this.

[OndrejDusek-wd]

Love this vid, Leon. Thank you! Learning only from you these days :). In case you're scouting for follow-up topics - I'd love to see how to use the new OpenAI assistant in Flowise in complex and multistage-agent setups :)

[codewithtae]

This is good stuff. Appreciate the video! Keep them coming!

This video is the best tutorial that I found for open ai assistant but there is small issue that encounted. That is when i try to run whole code onece, the reply msg is not retrive and remaining code is being executed. When next time fun again, previously retrived answer appered, due to time delay of the api responce

[TAMIMMAHMUD]

Best video on the assistant API. Period 👏
