Hi team, we're unable to find documentation on API calling of AI Assistants (preview) once we've created them using Assistants playground & have their Assistant id. We're looking for documentation on how we invoke the Assistant and the call/function format to terminate chat when done. assuming these are multi-threaded, can we invoke as many from our ios/android app? how do we track each thread ID? or are we supposed to create the Assistants from our mobile app and the call will return a unique Assistant ID each time? Becomes inconvenient as we have to pass a lot of duplicate parameters & instructions each time to invoke the same Assistants appreciate your help. thanks.

@GenixPRO Here is the document link to assistants(preview) with Azure OpenAI. Also, Wrt using multiple assistants and threads, there is an example on the Github repo for multi-agent architecture. I hope this helps address your question on multi-threaded calling while creating assistants and threads. Thanks!!

Hi team,

we're unable to find documentation on API calling of AI Assistants (preview) once we've created them using Assistants playground & have their Assistant id.

We're looking for documentation on how we invoke the Assistant and the call/function format to terminate chat when done.
assuming these are multi-threaded, can we invoke as many from our ios/android app? how do we track each thread ID? or are we supposed to create the Assistants from our mobile app and the call will return a unique Assistant ID each time?

appreciate your help. thanks.

@romungi-MSFT thanks for the response. Our question was:

how do we call/invoke AI assistants already created in "Assistants playground"? We have the Assistant_id but the API description doesn't indicate any field to pass Assistant_id to create a new instance/thread of our Assistant. Couldn't find any quickstarts for this use-case.

Or does it mean each time we've to create a new assistant & pass same set of parameters for every user in API call -> to get a thread-id in return? Thanks.

I think you can use the assistant id created in the playground by creating a thread and associating it with the assistant id. For ex:

thread = client.beta.threads.create()

Add questions to a thread.

message = client.beta.threads.messages.create( thread_id=thread.id, role="user", content="Create a visualization of a sinewave" )

Run thread using the assistant id created before from playground

assistantid = <assitantid from playground> run = client.beta.threads.runs.create( thread_id=thread.id, assistant_id=assistantid, #instructions="New instructions" #You can optionally provide new instructions but these will override the default instructions )

See this QuickStart here, it creates an assistant from python SDK but it should be the same even if you already have an assistant id.
