Build your FIRST OpenAI Assistant With Function Calling

Today, we'll use OpenAI's brand NEW Assistants feature to create an assistant that can call functions for us! I'll take you through a brief tutorial of how you can call an external API to help an Assistant answer questions using live flight data!

Wonderful, finally someone who doesn’t use a chatbot mechanism and explains how this works!!!

[kashishvarshney]

everything literally everything I am searching since 1 month. please make more video on this topic for complex situations. please make video I really need it. thanks a lot

[keesvandentempel]

really nice video, explaining things very well. The thing i like the best is that Sam talks at normal speed, and explains everything very simple with clear examples. Thnx

[daniellummis]

I watched about 8 other videos trying to figure out this process. This one cracked it for me. Nice one.

[AndreasLepsuch]

all you need in 12 minutes - thanks for this !!

[cheetah]

Awesome, very straight forward explanation.

[Free-ppmr]

Highly useful! In conditions when we have huge amount of marketing AI videos, and small amount technical ones, your video is very interesting and efficient! Thank you!

[ifightcode]

Your function calling tutorial was such a lifesaver! Made it sooo easy to put it into my project. You're a coding angel!

Bro imma be honest with you… i have seen a lot of videos trying to to understand how to integrate custom functions in my assistant, but none of them worked for me until i saw your video🙏🙏 thanks a lot, you have great teaching skills 🤙 u r the best

[rumpelstilzchen]

That helped a lot. Keep going with these Assistant tutorials. They are great.

[rjcwskl]

Amazing Video, Got my Respect! Thank you for that!

[ampagetech]

Great tutorial, very clear screen and voice, helped a lot on function call

[qtowyli]

Thanks a lot for the clear and very informative explanation

[rjcwskl]

Please Do more Videos With OpenAI, API, Tools and Assistant API. Worth it.

Thank you for the tutorial, it was very much appreciated, and very well explained such that even an amateur such as myself can understand it. I will be building an assistant to learn about my work site, as a veryquick example -- showing it a diagram of the door closing mechanism on the front entrance door, so that in the future it can help with troubleshooting/advising how to make a certain adjustments such as the door closing speed. Over time I'll have something similar to the computer on the Enterprise.... maybe. Anyway, it might be a fun video for you to consider making, and selfishly I might also get some pointers or ideas when seeing how you approach such a project.

[ColinTimmins]

Very nice, well explained. Thank you! =]

This was very informative. I’ve thought about doing something like this to take my current location and maybe a compass direction and use an adsb API to fetch the planes in that direction from me and return them in order of how close they are to me. Additional feature might be to use a plane reference site to gather additional details or emphasize more unusual ones. This would let me essentially ask “what’s flying low to the west of me” and have it describe the sub hunter plane that sometimes trains around here. It’s essentially the same thing as me pulling up a flight radar app on my phone, then googling for details about the one that caught my attention.

If practical, this might be an interesting follow up.

how can i call function just like you?
In common, we add message in thread, but this video send instruction to run.
help me. and your notebook link is not collect (other file)

[ucvpdbc]

Thank you very much. Could you please share the ipynb file you used in the video? The file mentioned in the comments seems to be different from the one in the video.
