Introducing the Astra Assistants API

Today, DataStax released the Astra Assistants API, which is compatible with OpenAI's new Assistants API. This service allows users to easily switch their AI apps to use this new API by changing just a single line of code. The Astra DB Vector database supports retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) patterns for building powerful interactive assistants that combine large language models with custom data. The Astra Assistants API is now available as a developer preview, offering a simple and scalable datastore backed by the performance and reliability of Cassandra. To try it out, create an Astra account and follow the tutorial notebook provided.
