Quickstart

Get started in less than a minute through GitHub Codespaces:

Or:

git clone https://github.com/stellar-amenities/assistants
cd assistants
cp .env.example .env

To get started quickly, let's use Perplexity API. Get an API key from Perplexity. You can get it here. Replace in .env the MODEL_API_KEY with your API key

Install OpenAI SDK: npm i openai

Start the infra:

docker-compose --profile api -f docker/docker-compose.yml up -d

Run the quickstart:

node examples/quickstart.js

Why Open Source Assistants API?

• Full Control: Own your data, your models, and your destiny.

• OpenAI Compatibility: Love OpenAI's API? We play nice with that too.
• Simplicity: Easy setup, no steep learning curve.
• Non-woke style: Get rid of OpenAI Woke/Brainwashed/PC models.
• Unleashed code interpreter: OpenAI Code interpreter is not allowed to do other things than processing data (e.g. cannot do web scrapping, etc.). This one is unleashed.
