when creating a new ChatRequest, where do I define the assistant?

[marcusx2]

For example, I get the assistant

assistant = await client.AssistantsEndpoint.RetrieveAssistantAsync(assistanId);

but how do I use it with the chat request?

var request = new ChatRequest(conversation.Messages, tools: assistantTools);

I think you've got the two features confused. Assistants is a completely different thing from Chats.

Chats is a predecessor of the more advanced Assistant features OpenAI has made and cannot be mixed and matched.

Check the Assistants and Threads docs for detailed examples

Ok thank you for the fast response. Here's how I'm currently doing it

assistant = await client.AssistantsEndpoint.RetrieveAssistantAsync(assistanId);
thread = await client.ThreadsEndpoint.CreateThreadAsync();
var run = await thread.CreateRunAsync(assistant);
run = await run.WaitForStatusChangeAsync();
var responses = await run.ListMessagesAsync();
string result = responses.Items.First().PrintContent();

The result, openAI's response, doesn't match what I get when playing with the playground on the dashboard. So I tried using Chats because there's an example scene using that. Is there something I'm doing wrong on the code above, or am I missing something?

Or rather maybe can you send me a modified version of ChatBehavior.cs that uses Assistants and Threads? That'd be incredibly helpful. My email is [email protected] . Thank you so much for your quick replies.

There currently isn't a sample behavior that implements them. See #162
