00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:02,960
Hi guys.

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:03,840
Welcome to this session.

3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,600
So in this session we'll talk about assistants which we can also create.

4
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:09,600
So what is an assistant.

5
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:15,840
So this is going to be an advanced AI model designed to access multiple tools in parallel and offer

6
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,480
a simplified experience for developers.

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:23,480
So the key features of an assistant is it is going to be it helps to retrieve information.

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,880
It grabs and uses information from files to make answers better.

9
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:34,560
It helps in different functions, like including specific tasks in a chat, or in maths or coding,

10
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,160
or running small programs.

11
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:43,360
Also, it uses threads, so keeping all the conversation history organized in a in a better manner is

12
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,880
also something what it does.

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,600
Specifically the advantages of assistant are multiple like simplicity.

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:56,520
So what is going to happen is because of assistants, makes it easier to use complex AI models without

15
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:57,840
needing to be an expert.

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,600
Here, accessibility also is an advantage.

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:07,320
It brings advanced AI complexities, capabilities to, uh, to your code editor, and you can make changes

18
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:09,280
to it any from anywhere you want.

19
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:15,400
It also makes it very efficient, saves you a lot of time and effort in performing advanced tasks,

20
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:22,560
and also customizes it lets you adjust how the AI behaves to fit what you specifically need.

21
00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:28,360
Now, the main difference from simple API usage of assistant is uh, it is going to be.

22
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,720
Instead of juggling with lots of details and multiple API API calls which you are doing, assistants

23
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:42,000
can handle the harder part of the work internally while you focus on creative and higher level of work.

24
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:48,400
So that's the added advantage of using assistants versus simple API usage.
