What is openai-threads?

openai-threads is a tool that encapsulates the complexity of OpenAI's Thread API into a friendly, easy-to-use package.

Core Features

  • Thread Creation: Start conversations with AI in a snap.

  • Message Management: Send and receive messages to and from the AI with simple method calls.

  • Event Handling: Listen for and respond to events like queued, in_progress, or completed with custom callbacks.

  • Function Registration: Hook in custom functions that can be called dynamically during AI interactions.

  • Status Polling: Keep tabs on the conversation with real-time updates on the thread status.

Get Started

Getting up and running with openai-threads is straightforward:

  1. Install the Package: Run npm install openai-threads in your project directory.

  2. Import and Configure: Import the OpenAIThread class and configure it with your OpenAI assistant ID.

  3. Interact with AI: Use the provided methods to create threads, send messages, and handle AI responses.

Simple Example

const thread = new OpenAIThread("your-assistant-id");
await thread.createThread();
await thread.createUserMessage("How many users were at the event on 2023-01-03?");
const run = await thread.runThread("Assist the user with the event data.");

Why Use openai-threads?

My package takes the complexity out of managing OpenAI threads. With a few lines of code, you can integrate sophisticated AI interactions into your applications. No need to manually handle API requests and responses or manage state – openai-threads does it for you.
