Assistants¶
AI-powered chatbots you create, configure, and deploy to interact with your users.
Key Concepts¶
Instructions¶
Define how your assistant behaves - its personality, tone, and reliability. Well-crafted instructions are the foundation of an effective assistant.
Model Selection¶
- gpt-4o-mini (default): Fast, cost-effective, suitable for most use cases
- gpt-4o: Advanced capabilities for complex reasoning
Temperature¶
Controls response creativity. Lower (0.1-0.3) = consistent. Higher (0.8-1.5) = varied. Default: 1.0
Technical Detail
Temperature affects probability distribution during text generation. Lower values make the model deterministic, higher values increase variety.
