The goal of openaiassistant is to provide access to the assistants API of OpenAI. The package is low effort and not yet fully tested.
You can install the development version of openaiassistant like so:
# Original by github.com/sumidu
remotes::install_github("samueltobler/openaiassistant")
This is a basic example which shows you how to use the assistants API. It expects that you set the environment variable “OPENAI_API_KEY” to your OpenAI API Key. This can be done by the following code in R:
Sys.setenv(OPENAI_API_KEY = "yourkeyhere")
This is the example.
library(openaiassistant)
## Check if API Key is set
check_token()
# Create a new assistant
assistant_name <- "Nordisch Jarvis"
instructions <-
paste("This is an assistant that answers as briefly as possible.",
"Ideally one word only.")
assistant <-
assistant_create(
assistant_name,
instructions,
model = "gpt-4-turbo-preview"
)
# create a new thread
thread <- thread_create()
message <-
thread_add_message(thread, "What is the Queen of the Hanse?")
# create a run with this question
run <- assistant_run(assistant, thread)
# wait for completion
while (is_active(run)) {
run <- run_retrieve(run, thread)
Sys.sleep(5)
}
# retrieve the messages
messages <- thread_retrieve_messages(thread)
# print the result
print(get_last_message(messages))
#> [1] "Lübeck"
# delete everything
res_thread <- thread_delete(thread$id)
res_assistant <- assistant_delete(assistant$id)
