What are Assistants?#
AI applications don’t always need to be complex to get the job done. Sometimes, all you need is a quick way to give an LLM secure access to your data. If you’d like to build a simple chat app that has access to your data sources, create an Assistant.
Assistants are a special type of Gen AI Builder chatbot Agent Structure that can be created easily in less than a minute, without writing or deploying any code. They offer much of the same functionality provided by Agent Structures, through a simple configurable interface.
Assistants can be configured to use Gen AI Builder resources such as Knowledge Bases , Rulesets , and Tools . Once your Assistant is created, you can immediately begin chatting with it by sending a message on the following screen.
