🔥 App Update: Message an Assistant and more - new OpenAI capabilities

Hey Makers :wave:

:tada: Hope you are ready to say goodbye to 2023 and welcome the new year that’s ahead of us. But before you do that, we have some exciting news to share! :tada:


Just a few weeks ago, we added new OpenAI modules, that unlock the power of Vision, DALL-E 3, Text-To-Speech, and GPT4 Turbo. But we’re not done for the year: we have two final announcements that unlock more innovation for you.

  • Message an Assistant
    Have an ongoing conversation with an Assistant, plus upload files to help you build better prompts and generate better responses.

  • Create a Completion Parameters
    Gain more control over the completion with the latest input parameters, getting great results more consistently.

Put these new capabilities to work today, and unleash the power of AI in your workflows. :robot:

The ‘Message an Assistant’ documentation is woefully inadequate. Maybe it’s enough for developers and people who are Make certified.

This is a perfect example of what’s holding Make back from wider adoption. Zapier is making it extremely easy for lay-people to use it’s automations - going as far as NLP scenarios.

If you really want us to use your new automations, we’d like to see documentation that shows actual examples of how to implement it.

We update the makemarket open ai modules to support GPT-4o and functions. give it a look.

Check this post for more details: Open AI Assistant Module with GPT-4o and functions

@Michaela is there a way of accessing the ‘response format to JSON Schema’ instead of just JSON mode with this module? Or would I just have to replace with a ‘make an api call’ module?

In ‘create a chat completion’ module theres an option to add additional params but not in this module.

Furthermore… has make added its own functionality on the thread ID, as it says “If Thread ID is empty, we will create and return a new thread for you to store and use later.” - I dont see this on the API Docs and ‘Create & Run a Thread’ and ‘Run a Thread’ are different endopoints. So has make.com added a “if Thread ID is empty then use create & run thread endpoint else use run thread” functionality? I basically need the above functionality but ALSO be able to access the ‘JSON Schema’ Params?

→ See URL to ‘response format to JSON Schema’ in OpenAI Docs → https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/runs/createThreadAndRun#runs-createthreadandrun-response_format

Thanks,
Ben
