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 Griptape 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 Griptape Cloud 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.
