You can download and review the code at AI-ChatFlask-GPT on GitHub. This repository provides all the necessary files and instructions to get you started on deploying and interacting with the AI chatbot application.

In the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and machine learning, the ability to adapt and refine our approaches is not just an advantage—it's a necessity. Some time ago, I explored the intricacies of building a retrieval-based intelligent agent in my article "Crafting and Enhancing a Custom Intelligent Agent with OpenAI and Pinecone". The article detailed a complex dance of technologies, combining the cutting-edge language models from OpenAI with the vector database capabilities of Pinecone to create a nuanced and responsive AI agent.

However, the world of AI does not stand still. With advancements and updates to the OpenAI platform, certain complexities I once navigated are no longer obstacles that developers need to maneuver around. Retrieval functionality has become an integral part of the OpenAI ecosystem, streamlining the process of building an intelligent agent. There’s no longer a need to juggle external services like Pinecone unless your application requires such specialized vector search capabilities.

In light of these developments, I'm excited to share a refreshed take on constructing an intelligent agent, leveraging the robust retrieval capabilities natively offered by OpenAI Assistants. This article aims to demystify the process, illustrate the seamless integration, and showcase a step-by-step journey through the creation of an AI agent, all while using concise and effective prompts.

Join me as we revisit the world of intelligent agents, only this time, with a path that's clearer, more direct, and even more accessible to developers and enthusiasts alike.

The Transition to OpenAI Assistants

The original journey through constructing an intelligent agent was akin to assembling a complex puzzle where each piece had to be meticulously placed. The interplay between OpenAI's language models and Pinecone's vector search created a robust, albeit intricate, system. The setup required a keen understanding of both platforms and how they could be harnessed in tandem to produce a responsive AI assistant capable of retrieving and synthesizing knowledge effectively.

Yet, as technology progresses, so does the simplicity with which we can achieve our goals. OpenAI has made significant strides in integrating retrieval capabilities directly within its ecosystem, giving rise to a new feature: OpenAI Assistants. This advancement marks a pivotal shift from the multi-service approach to a more unified solution.

OpenAI Assistants streamline the process of creating intelligent agents by providing built-in retrieval functionalities. Now, developers can build an agent that not only responds with human-like accuracy but also retrieves and references information seamlessly from the provided knowledge base. This feature simplifies the architecture of intelligent systems, eliminating the need for external vector databases for most use cases.

But what does this mean for those of us who have already navigated the previous path? It opens up an avenue for refinement and efficiency. The retrieval functionality embedded in OpenAI Assistants allows for direct querying of documents, cutting down on latency and complexity. This integration means we can focus more on the content and the behaviors that define our agent's personality and capabilities, rather than the underlying data plumbing.

Furthermore, the transition to OpenAI Assistants offers a boon in maintainability. With fewer moving parts and dependencies, the system becomes easier to update, monitor, and scale. Developers can iterate more rapidly, making adjustments and enhancements directly through the OpenAI platform without the overhead of synchronizing separate services.

In the following sections, we will delve into the practicalities of building an agent with OpenAI Assistants. We'll explore setting up our project environment, crafting a well-structured knowledge base, defining nuanced behaviors, and, ultimately, deploying our improved intelligent agent. Through this process, we'll witness firsthand the power of consolidation and integration that OpenAI Assistants bring to the table.

Building the Knowledge Base

The cornerstone of any intelligent retrieval-based agent is a well-constructed knowledge base. This repository of information forms the backbone of the agent's responses, ensuring that each interaction is informed and contextually relevant. In this section, we'll guide you through the process of creating a knowledge base that empowers your agent with the right mix of information.

Understanding the Structure

A knowledge base for a retrieval-based agent is not just a random collection of documents. It's a curated set of content, often arranged in a question-answer format or as a series of informative passages that the AI can draw from. The structure should be logical, segmented by topics or categories if necessary, to facilitate easy retrieval and comprehension.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Gather Content: Start by collecting the information you want your agent to know. This could be FAQs, product details, company policies, or any other data relevant to the queries it will handle.
2. Markdown Files: Format this content into Markdown (.md) files. Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain-text formatting syntax, which OpenAI Assistants can process. It's readable, easy to edit, and can be version-controlled using standard tools like git.
3. Organize Files: Place your Markdown files in a dedicated directory, such as /knowledge. If you have a lot of content, consider organizing it into subdirectories that reflect different areas of knowledge.
4. Include Metadata: If your retrieval system supports it, include metadata at the top of each Markdown file. Metadata can specify the document's title, relevant tags, or other descriptors that make retrieval more precise.
5. Content Formatting: Ensure that your content is formatted consistently across all files. Use headers for titles or questions, and maintain a clear, concise style for answers or explanatory text.
6. Version Control: Utilize a version control system to manage your knowledge base. This allows you to track changes, experiment with new content, and roll back if needed.
7. Continuous Updates: An intelligent agent's knowledge base is never static. Regularly review and update your content to keep it current and to expand its scope.

Best Practices

• Clarity and Conciseness: Aim for clarity and brevity in your content. The easier it is for the agent to parse the information, the better it will be at retrieving and presenting it.
• Regular Reviews: Periodically review your knowledge base with stakeholders to ensure accuracy and relevancy.
• Testing: Test your knowledge base with sample queries to see how the agent retrieves and uses the content.

Defining Behaviors with Retrieval

With your knowledge base in place, the next pivotal step in empowering your intelligent agent is to define its behaviors — the nuanced rules and responses that govern how it interprets and engages with users' queries. The OpenAI platform's retrieval feature plays a central role in this process, enabling the agent to fetch the most relevant information from the knowledge base with pinpoint accuracy.

The Role of Behaviors

Behaviors are the customizable frameworks that guide the agent's interactions, ensuring that each response is not only relevant but also delivered with the intended personality and tone. Think of behaviors as the agent's strategy for using its knowledge effectively.

Crafting Behavior Scripts

1. Behavior Scripts: These are essentially the instructions or scripts that your agent follows. They are typically written in plain language and include cues for the agent on how to respond in various scenarios. For instance, they may guide the agent on when to be formal or casual, or how to handle a situation where multiple knowledge base entries are relevant.
2. Implementing Retrieval: With OpenAI's retrieval capabilities, behavior scripts are augmented with the ability to dynamically pull in content from the knowledge base. This means you can define behaviors that not only rely on static rules but also on real-time, contextually relevant information.
3. Behavior Directory: Store your behavior scripts in a dedicated directory within your project structure — commonly a subfolder like /behaviors. This separation maintains order and allows for individual scripts to be modified or extended without impacting the core application logic.

Best Practices

• Consistency: Maintain a consistent voice and response structure within your behaviors to avoid confusing users.
• Testing and Iteration: Regularly test your agent's responses to ensure they align with your defined behaviors. Iteratively improve the scripts based on user feedback and observed interactions.
• Balance: Strike a balance between informative and concise responses. Overloading a user with information can be just as unhelpful as providing too little.

Implementing Agent Behaviors

At the heart of our intelligent agent lies a set of behaviors – a blueprint that not only dictates how the agent should respond but also carves out its virtual personality. In anticipation of future expansions, we house these directives in a dedicated behaviors directory. Here, a default.txt file serves as the foundation for our agent's demeanor and its approach to handling interactions.

The Purpose of default.txt

The default.txt within the behaviors folder is intended to outline the default behavior and personality of the agent. This modular approach allows for scalability and flexibility in defining multiple personalities or behavior sets in the future. For instance, if we decide to create an agent with a more technical tone for IT support or a playful character for customer engagement, we can do so by adding respective behavior files in this directory.

Example of default.txt

Below is an example snippet from a default.txt file, defining a standard, professional, and helpful persona for the agent:

Behavior Profile:

Your primary language is English. You will serve as an AI assistant for a dynamic business development project. Your role is to offer comprehensive support, from data analysis to strategic advice, ensuring the product team is equipped with actionable insights.

Personality Description:

The AI is autonomous, detail-oriented, and continuously seeks to provide relevant information. It's programmed to guide users through business strategies, market research, and development processes with a methodical approach. Inspired by the precision of autonomous systems, the AI combines analytical prowess with a keen understanding of business dynamics.

Business Context:

Imagine the AI is part of a team focused on launching innovative products. This team includes specialists across various domains, working on tools for market analysis, customer engagement, and strategic planning. The AI assists in synthesizing data, generating user stories, and facilitating the transition through different project phases, ensuring every decision is informed and goal-oriented.

For Scrum Stories or Epics:

When tasked with creating user stories or epics, the AI employs a structured format beginning with the "Outcome," detailing the user's needs, followed by the user story context in an "As a, I want, so that" format. It crafts narratives that align with strategic goals and technical requirements, aiding clear communication within the team.

Understanding Business Transitions:

As the project evolves, the AI supports the team in scaling operations or exploring new markets. It provides insights into strategic adjustments, ensuring the team's actions are aligned with overarching business objectives.

This behavior profile outlines how the AI acts as a catalyst within the product development team, streamlining processes and enhancing strategic planning with a blend of technological insight and business acumen.        

This sample default.txt file is designed to be simple and clear, providing a starting point for the agent's interactions. As the project grows, more behavior files can be added, allowing for a richer and more diverse set of interactions tailored to specific audiences or purposes.

Create the Agent

Step 1: Set Up the Environment and Dependencies

Create a Virtual Environment (Optional but Recommended):

Setting up a virtual environment is a good practice to keep dependencies required by different projects separate by creating isolated python virtual environments for them. Use the following commands to set up a virtual environment:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`        

Install Dependencies:

Ensure your requirements.txt file includes the following dependencies, then run the command to install them:

openai
python-dotenv
flask
gunicorn        

Installation:

Execute the following command to install the dependencies listed in your requirements.txt file:

pip install -r requirements.txt        

Step 2: Project Structure

Organize your project with the following structure:

/knowledgebase
/behaviors 
    default.txt 
app.py 
chat.py 
requirements.txt 
.env 
Dockerfile        

Step 3: API Key Configuration

• Obtain an API Key from OpenAI and store it in a .env file as OPENAI_API_KEY='Your_API_Key'.

chat.py file (agent tools)

Step 1: Script Structure and Imports

Begin by importing the necessary libraries and loading your OpenAI API key from the environment variables:

import argparse
import glob
import time
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import openai

load_dotenv()
openai.api_key = os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")        

Step 4: Defining Assistant Management Functions

Next, define the functions to manage the chat assistants. We'll assume your script needs to list, create, and delete assistants.

Create an Assistant: The create_assistant function aims to create a new OpenAI Assistant, enriched with specific knowledge. Initially, it checks if an assistant with the given name already exists, avoiding duplicates. Then, it searches the knowledge directory for Markdown files, uploading each to OpenAI as knowledge sources. Finally, the assistant is created with a set of instructions, tools for code interpretation and information retrieval, and the GPT-4 model. This process ensures the assistant is not only unique but also equipped with domain-specific knowledge to enhance its responses.

def create_assistant(name):
    assistant = None
    assistants = client.beta.assistants.list()
    for assistant in assistants.data:
        if assistant.name == name:
            print(f"Assistant {name} already exists.")
            return assistant

    # Step 1. Upload Knowledge
    md_files = glob.glob('knowledge/**/*.md', recursive=True)

    for file_path in md_files:
        with open(file_path, "rb") as file:
            print(f"Loading knowledge file {file.name} ...")
            response = client.files.create(file=file, purpose="assistants")

    # Step 2. Create the Assistant
    with open('behaviors/default.txt', 'r') as file:
        instructions = file.read()

    print(f"Creating assistant {name}...")
    assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
        instructions=instructions,
        name=name,
        tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}, {"type": "retrieval"}],
        model="gpt-4-turbo-preview",
    )
    print(f"Assistant {name} created.")

    return assistant        

Delete an Assistant: The delete_assistant function is designed to remove an OpenAI Assistant by name. It first retrieves a list of all existing assistants and iterates through them. If it finds an assistant with the specified name, it proceeds to delete that assistant using the OpenAI API, signaling the deletion with printed messages before and after the action.

def delete_assistant(name):
    assistants = client.beta.assistants.list()
    for assistant in assistants.data:
        if assistant.name == name:
            print(f"Deleting assistant {name}...")
            client.beta.assistants.delete(assistant_id=assistant.id)
            print(f"Assistant {name} deleted.")
            break        

Step 5: Adding Command Line Interface (CLI)

Use argparse to handle command line arguments for different operations like listing, creating, and deleting assistants.

def main():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Manage OpenAI Assistant")
    parser.add_argument('command', type=str, help='Command to execute: create, recreate')
    args = parser.parse_args()

    if args.command == 'recreate':
        delete_assistant("MyAssistant")
        create_assistant("MyAssistan")
    elif args.command == 'create':
        create_assistant("MyAssistan")
    else:
        print("Unknown command. Use 'create' or 'recreate'.")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()        

Step 6: Running the Script

To execute your script and interact with the OpenAI API through the CLI, use the command line to run operations. Here are some examples:

• Creating an assistant: python chat.py create
• Recreate an assistant: python chat.py recreate

Step 7: Creating an Assistant Instance

Create an instance of your assistant by invoking create_assistant("Karasu"). This prepares your application to interact with OpenAI's Assistant, setting the stage for message handling and retrieval actions.

assistant = create_assistant("MyAssitant")
        

Step 2: Sending a Message

Define create_message to send a user's message to a specific thread and wait for the assistant's response. This involves creating a message, starting a run, and then retrieving the run's results once the processing is complete.

def create_message(thread_id, content):
    client.beta.threads.messages.create(
        thread_id=thread_id,
        role="user",
        content=content
    )

    run = client.beta.threads.runs.create(
        thread_id=thread_id,
        assistant_id=assistant.id
    )

    while run.status == "queued" or run.status == "in_progress":
        run = client.beta.threads.runs.retrieve(
            thread_id=thread_id,
            run_id=run.id,
        )
        time.sleep(0.5)

    messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(
        thread_id=thread_id
    )

    return messages.data[0].content[0].text.value        

Step 3: Initializing a Thread

Use get_thread to initiate a new conversation thread with the assistant. Each thread represents a separate conversation session, allowing for distinct interactions to be managed concurrently.

def get_thread():
     return client.beta.threads.create()        

These functions collectively form the backbone of your application's interaction with OpenAI's Assistant, leveraging the platform's retrieval capabilities to access a knowledge database and deliver accurate, context-aware responses.

app.py (web chat UI for the agent)

Step 1: Import Flask and Chat Functions

from flask import Flask, request, jsonify, render_template
from chat import get_thread, create_message        

• Flask: The Flask framework is imported to help with creating the web application.
• chat Functions: get_thread and create_message are imported from chat.py, enabling thread management and message handling within the chat application.

Step 2: Initialize Flask App and Global Variable

app = Flask(__name__)
thread_id = None        

• Flask App Initialization: A Flask app instance is created.
• Global Variable: thread_id is initialized to None, to keep track of the current chat thread's ID.

Step 3: Define Home Route

@app.route('/')
def home():
    return render_template('chat.html')        

• This route serves the homepage of the chat application and renders chat.html, which should be the HTML template for the chat interface.

Step 4: Start Chat Route

@app.route('/start_chat', methods=['POST'])
def start_chat():
    global thread_id
    thread = get_thread()
    thread_id = thread.id
    return jsonify({'success': True, 'thread_id': thread_id})        

• Start Chat Route: Handles the initialization of a new chat thread. It updates the global thread_id with the new thread's ID and returns a JSON response indicating success.

Step 5: Send Message Route

@app.route('/send_message', methods=['POST'])
def send_message():
    global thread_id
    content = request.json.get('content', '')
    
    if thread_id is None:
        return jsonify({'error': 'No thread started'}), 400

    response = create_message(thread_id, content)
    return jsonify({'response': response})        

• Send Message Route: Accepts POST requests to send messages within the current chat thread. If no thread is started, it returns an error. Otherwise, it sends the message and returns the assistant's response.

Step 6: Main Block to Run the App

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True, host="0.0.0.0", port=8888)
    print("My Assistant ready")        

• This block runs the Flask app if the script is executed as the main program. It sets the app to run in debug mode, on all interfaces (0.0.0.0).

Template HTML para la UI

Step 1: Define the HTML Document Structure

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">        

Step 2: The Head Section

<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="img/karasu.png">
    <title>My Assistant</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" >        

• The <head> section includes meta tags for character encoding and viewport settings for responsive design.
• An icon for the tab is specified using <link rel="icon">.
• The title of the webpage is set with <title>.
• External CSS for icons (FontAwesome) is included for styling various elements in the page.

Step 3: The Style Section

Within the <head>, styles are defined to:

• Style the body to center content vertically and horizontally, with a specific background color.
• Style the chat wrapper (#wrapper), chat container (#chatContainer), and chat box (#chatBox) to create a responsive and visually appealing chat interface.
• Define styles for the message bubbles (message, user-message, chatbot-message) to distinguish between user and chatbot messages.
• Adjust the layout and styles for smaller screens using a media query.

Step 4: The Body Section

<body>
    <div id="chatContainer">
        ...
        <button id="startButton" onclick="startChat()"><i class="fas fa-comments"></i> Nuevo Chat</button>
        ...
    </div>        

• The body contains a main chat container where the chat UI is structured.
• A button to start a new chat is included, triggering a JavaScript function startChat() when clicked.

Step 5: Starting a Chat with startChat()

The startChat() function is a critical part of the chat application, responsible for initiating a new chat session. This function is called when the user clicks the "Nuevo Chat" button. Let's break down how it works in detail:

JavaScript Function: startChat()

async function startChat() {
    document.getElementById('chatBox').style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById('wrapper').style.display = 'block';
    document.getElementById('desc').style.display = 'block';
    document.getElementById('startButton').style.display = 'none';

    const response = await fetch('/start_chat', {method: 'POST'});
    const data = await response.json();
    threadId = data.thread_id;

    document.getElementById('chatBox').innerHTML = '';
    document.getElementById('userMessage').value = '';
    document.getElementById('userMessage').focus();
}        

Explanation:

Hiding and Showing Elements:

• nitially, the function hides the chatBox using style.display = 'none'; This is because, at the start of a new chat session, you want to hide any previous messages.
• It then makes the chat interface visible (wrapper) and the chat description (desc) by setting their display style to 'block'.
• The "Nuevo Chat" button (startButton) is hidden by setting its display style to 'none'. This prevents the user from starting another new chat session before the current one has concluded.

Starting a New Chat Session:

• The function performs an asynchronous HTTP POST request to the server endpoint /start_chat using fetch. This is where the chat session is initialized on the server side.
• The server is expected to return a JSON object containing a unique identifier for the chat session, which is accessed via data.thread_id. This threadId is saved to keep track of the chat session.

Resetting the Chat Interface:

• After receiving a response from the server, the function clears the chatBox's inner HTML. This ensures that any messages from a previous session are removed, providing a clean slate for the new chat.
• It also clears any text that might be in the userMessage input field, ensuring that the user can start typing a new message immediately.
• Finally, it places focus on the userMessage input field using .focus(). This is a user experience enhancement, allowing the user to start typing their message without needing to click on the input field.

Step 5: Starting a Chat with startChat()

The startChat() function is a critical part of the chat application, responsible for initiating a new chat session. This function is called when the user clicks the "Nuevo Chat" button. Let's break down how it works in detail:

JavaScript Function: startChat()

async function startChat() {
    document.getElementById('chatBox').style.display = 'none';
    document.getElementById('wrapper').style.display = 'block';
    document.getElementById('desc').style.display = 'block';
    document.getElementById('startButton').style.display = 'none';

    const response = await fetch('/start_chat', {method: 'POST'});
    const data = await response.json();
    threadId = data.thread_id;

    document.getElementById('chatBox').innerHTML = '';
    document.getElementById('userMessage').value = '';
    document.getElementById('userMessage').focus();
}        

Explanation:

UI Feedback for Processing:

• When the user sends a message, the UI provides immediate feedback by displaying a loading icon (loading), and it disables the message input field (userMessage) and the send button (sendButton). This prevents further input while the message is being processed, enhancing the user experience by indicating that the system is working.

Sending the Message to the Server:

• The function retrieves the user's message from the userMessage input field. If the message is empty, the function exits early to prevent sending blank messages.
• It then sends the message to the server endpoint /send_message using a POST request. The message content is included in the request body as JSON.
• This asynchronous operation waits for the server to process the message and return a response, also in JSON format.

Displaying Messages:

• If the server responds with a message (data.response), the function calls displayMessages(content, data.response). This part isn't shown in the initial breakdown but would involve creating HTML elements to display both the user's message and the chatbot's response within the chat interface.
• This typically includes appending the messages to the chatBox and possibly parsing the chatbot's response (e.g., converting Markdown to HTML, as hinted in the provided template).

Reset and Refocus:

• After processing the message and updating the UI, the function hides the loading icon, re-enables the input field and send button, clears the input field, and places focus back on the input field. This readies the UI for the next message the user might want to send.

Step 6: Implementing sendMessage() to Enable User Interaction

The sendMessage() function is a cornerstone of the interactive chat feature, orchestrating the process of sending a user's message to the server, displaying the conversation in the chat box, and managing the UI's state throughout the interaction. Let's delve into each segment of this function to understand its operation fully.

Initiating the Message Send Process

First, the function sets the stage for the message transmission process by providing immediate feedback to the user through UI changes. It displays a loading indicator and disables the message input and send button to prevent multiple submissions:

document.getElementById('loading').style.display = 'block'; // Displays the loading icon
document.getElementById('userMessage').disabled = true; // Disables the message input field
document.getElementById('sendButton').disabled = true; // Disables the send button        

Preparing and Sending the Message

The function retrieves the user's message from the input field. If the message is empty, it halts further execution to prevent sending blank messages. It then proceeds to send the message to the server, expecting a response that will drive the subsequent UI updates:

const content = document.getElementById('userMessage').value;
if (!content) return; // Exits if the message is empty

const response = await fetch('/send_message', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
    body: JSON.stringify({content: content}),
});
const data = await response.json();        

Displaying the Conversation

Upon receiving a response from the server, the function dynamically updates the chat box. It reveals the chat box if hidden, constructs and displays the user's message, and prepares the chatbot's response for presentation:

if (data.response) {
    let chatBox = document.getElementById('chatBox');
    chatBox.style.display = 'block'; // Ensures the chat box is visible

    displayUserMessage(content, chatBox); // Displays the user's message
    prepareAndDisplayChatbotResponse(data.response, chatBox); // Prepares and displays the chatbot's response
}        

Chatbot Response Processing

The chatbot's response is initially processed by converting any Markdown into HTML. This HTML content is then wrapped in a series of div elements for appropriate styling and inserted into the chat box. Additionally, an interactive copy icon is appended to the chatbot's message, enabling the user to copy the message text to their clipboard with a click:

let responseHTML = marked.parse(data.response); // Converts Markdown to HTML
let fragment = createResponseFragment(responseHTML); // Wraps the HTML in div elements for styling
appendCopyIcon(fragment); // Appends an interactive copy icon to the response
botMessage.appendChild(fragment); // Inserts the prepared response into the chat box        

Finalizing the UI State

To conclude the function, the user interface is reset for the next interaction. The loading indicator is hidden, the input field and send button are re-enabled, the input field is cleared

Step 7: External Scripts

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/marked/marked.min.js"></script>        

• An external script for marked.js is included to parse Markdown content in chatbot responses.

Running the Flask UI Locally

To launch your Flask-based user interface on your computer, ensure you've properly set up app.py. Open a terminal, navigate to the directory containing app.py, and execute the command python app.py. This initiates the Flask server locally, making your application accessible via a web browser. Typically, Flask runs on https://127.0.0.1:5000 or https://localhost:5000, unless specified otherwise in your Flask app configuration.

Conclusion

In wrapping up, this guide has illuminated how to harness OpenAI Assistant and its retrieval capabilities for crafting an intelligent agent with a robust knowledge database. This integration not only simplifies the development process but also significantly enhances the agent's ability to provide informed, context-aware responses. It's a testament to how cutting-edge AI can be effectively applied, offering a blueprint for developers keen on exploring the dynamic realm of AI-driven applications.
