OpenAI Assistants: The power of templated assistant instructions
- OpenAI Assistants have a key element called assistant instructions that allow developers to give assistants their own persona.
- Assistant instructions can now be templatized, allowing developers to predictably inject additional information to the assistant during each run of a thread.
- This feature is especially useful when specific data is needed for the assistant to generate responses, as it can be included in the template instead of relying on the model to retrieve it.
- Templated assistant instructions are supported by Semantic Kernel, which enables instant API calls without waiting for OpenAI's response.
- Developers can provide feedback on the new feature as it is still being refined.
