Access existing OpenAI Assistant through API via Assistant ID

[solaius]

Hello All!

Is there a way of connecting to an already created OpenAI GPT assistants via their ID instead of directly to the full model, like you would with AutoGen and LangChain? I did not see anything in the documentation around this.

Example:
researcher = GPTAssistantAgent(
name = "researcher",
llm_config = {
"config_list": config_list,
"assistant_id": "asst_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
}
)

I believe this is now irrelevant considering the amount of tools online to enable this use case. On 13 Mar 2025, at 12:03 AM, JustinHeath ***@***.***> wrote: This is why I'm in this repo.

Can you suggest some? My use case is that I have an OpenAI assistant that is multi-modal and I need a frontend that other people can access it through, but on their own accounts. I don't want my API key being used in their browser, so need a backend. This looked like a great possibility.
