Azure OpenAI assistant create output binding for Azure Functions
Important
The Azure OpenAI extension for Azure Functions is currently in preview.
The Azure OpenAI assistant create output binding allows you to create a new assistant chat bot from your function code execution.
For information on setup and configuration details of the Azure OpenAI extension, see Azure OpenAI extensions for Azure Functions. To learn more about Azure OpenAI assistants, see Azure OpenAI Assistants API.
Note
References and examples are only provided for the Node.js v4 model.
Note
References and examples are only provided for the Python v2 model.
Note
While both C# process models are supported, only isolated worker model examples are provided.
Example
This example demonstrates the creation process, where the HTTP PUT function that creates a new assistant chat bot with the specified ID. The response to the prompt is returned in the HTTP response.
