#BuildShip New OpenAI Assistant is Here! #FlutterFlow App Build

Published 2024-02-29
In this video I introduce the latest edition to #BuildShip which is their fantastic OpenAI Assistant Node. We now can effortlessly interact with the Open AI Assistant API by leaving BuildShip to do all the heavy lifting for us.

In this video we create, from scratch, a #nocode #FlutterFlow context focused chatbot using the #OpenAI Assistant Node by firstly creating a workflow in BuildShip and then building the UI within FlutterFlow to interact with the workflow. At end of this video you will easily have the knowledge to introduce something very similar in to your own applications.

Remember the BuildShip OpenAI Assistant Node is extremely powerful so I recommend checking out the BuildShip documentation for further use-cases.

Don't forget to check out and clone the starter project linked below to follow along with this video.

    Hi Steve, First of all a huge thank you from France ! You help me a lot you cant imagine how usefull this video is ! I ve a question when i try the app i ve a first answer but we i ask another one i never get a response back. Thanks a lot for all your work !
  • @ReaLpeej
    Recently subscribed and I’ve been watching a lot of your tutorials lately. Thanks for the awesome content! I love your teaching style in the videos. I’m a fairly new beginner on a lot of this stuff and don’t know how to code, but I definitely understand the power of these tools. I think it would be super helpful if you were able to make just a generic tutorial on the low code stuff used for APIs through BuildShip (or other similar platforms). I follow along when you walk through it in these videos, but I find it hard to then apply it to my own projects because my brain doesn’t operate in that language yet. Maybe even just something like creating several completely different workflows in BuildShip and walking through your thought process and what the code you’re writing is doing! I feel like I’ve learned Flutterflow and even basic functionalities in Supabase relatively quickly, but the API calls to BuildShip are a little more complicated. Regardless, thanks for the great content and keep it up!

    has anyone who was getting the "can not chat now" response in the tester figured out how to fix it/what they/ I may have done wrong
  • @andreapinna3080
    Hi Steve, yet another perfect video! I am recommending your channel to all my no-code-loving friends because of your clarity, competence and the accuracy of your content. I have a question, if you have time to answer: I remember a series of videos of yours from a few months ago (it was 5 videos + a bonus video) in which you built a chat and indicated (in the last video) how to save the chat and resurrect it. The construction method was different from this one, in that video you used custom functions and therefore code. In this situation, however, what would the process look like to achieve the same result? Thanks for all
  • @Uchenna_Onyeji
    This is awesome 👍. Please after following your video tutorial. I created everything but during the testing it echo can not chat at This time. How can I solve this please .
  • @KJPsyXX
    Can this be build to use a users own docs on firebase as knowledgebase for the assistant?
  • Am I missing something, what is Buildship doing here that you can't just do in Flutterflow directly with the assistants API?
  • Can you add a talk to text option here so the user can speak into the app and then receive a text response from the AI assistant?
  • @janmolski
    I would love to see how to enable streaming (the output is streamed live in chunks instead of waiting for it to finish). Also would love to see the chunks the system uses to generate the response and show it to the user.
  • @scottwallace9498
    I'm not getting a response back when I test the app. I see the response in the openai thread though. Also if I "Respond & Test" the call within the "Define API Call" section, I do get the response back. Do I have something wrong with the response assignment within the "AIChatComponent " of the flutterflow project? I used the "final" project provided and just added my Shipbuilder info to it.
  • @Bill-ai
    hello, I'm getting the same error as one of your other users/commenters below ""Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim')"". have we figured out the reason and how to fix?
  • @SaMi-wq3kj
    Hello, Thank you for the video, it was very well explained. However, I am experiencing a persistent error during testing. Whenever I send a message in the chat, I always receive an error in the snack bar.
