How to get the assistant to use the vector store using Azure OpenAI: OpenAI Assistants client library for .NET

Question

Hi,

Seeking help getting the assistant to use the vector store using the library below:

Azure OpenAI: OpenAI Assistants client library for .NET - version 1.0.0-beta.4

For some context:

I've created a Vector store as well as an Assistant within Azure AI Foundry -> Azure OpenAI Service

Using the SDK (link above) and the assistantID I'm trying to run a thread but it's unable to do the file search.

Main Question: How do I hook up the vector store?

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

hey @Khimananda Acharya

You can pass the vector_store_ids into the assistants.create call. more details this link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/file-search?tabs=python

assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
  instructions="You are a helpful product support assistant and you answer questions based on the files provided to you.",
  model="gpt-4-turbo",
  tools=[{"type": "file_search"}],
  tool_resources={
    "file_search": {
      "vector_store_ids": ["vs_1"]
    }
  }
)

thread = client.beta.threads.create(
  messages=[ { "role": "user", "content": "How do I cancel my subscription?"} ],
  tool_resources={
    "file_search": {
      "vector_store_ids": ["vs_2"]
    }
  }
)
