@psf_ what's left to do on this ticket? I'm happy to help; please advise.

Hi Koppie! I started working on replicating the OpenAI interface to use assistants. So far, I've only implemented the basic part to list the existing assistants — the interface to actually interact with them is still missing.

Just a heads up: the code is on the dev branch because I had already merged what I had done, not because it's finished.

Really appreciate you offering to finish it — feel free to go ahead if you’re up for it!

Sure @psf_ - I can pick this up! :-)

For the record - I've already pushed some improvements to the dev branch, so it's about a month more up-to-date than the stable branch. We should cut a new stable release at some point.

I'm crossing out the "to do" item to "allow remove assistant." The reason is because this is a destructive action, which should require extra steps for safety reasons. (I personally have several dozen assistants still open on the OpenAI platform... they don't eat anything.) Developers with access to the dashboard can already view, edit, and delete assistants: https://platform.openai.com/assistants

"Add compatible conversations" is still a great idea - I'm working on it now.

Done! I've added a functional "chat" button to the Assistants page. Now you can create an assistant, and then chat with it!

In honor of the occasion, I released version 1.2. It includes some better compatibility for Dall-E, adds compatibility with the new gpt-image-1 model, and other misc. cleanup.

I'm marking this ticket as "done" - feel free to reopen if necessary.
