Assistants enable Minds to engage in conversational interactions, keeping track of the conversational context. This contrasts with the Chat Completions endpoint, which handles one-time requests without remembering past interactions.

Here’s how to use Minds as Assistants:

  1. Create a conversation Thread and save the Thread ID.
  2. Create a Message assigning it to the Thread. This is a question sent to the Mind.
  3. List Messages assigned to the Thread to ensure your message has been sent.
  4. Create a Run assigning it to the Thread and providing the name of the Mind created with this endpoint, and save the Run ID.
  5. Retrieve a Run assigned to the Thread to check the status of the Run. The status should read complete.
  6. List Messages assigned to the Thread that should contain the response from the Mind.
