Installation

Install with composer

composer require erdum/php-open-ai-assistant-sdk

Or install without composer on older PHP versions just clone the project in your working directory and require the OpenAIAssistant.php

git clone https://github.com/erdum/php-open-ai-assistant-sdk.git

<?php

require(__DIR__ . 'php-open-ai-assistant-sdk/src/OpenAIAssistant.php');

use Erdum\OpenAIAssistant;

$openai = new OpenAIAssistant(
    $api_key,
    $assistant_id
);

Usage

Currently, this usage example does not contain any information about OpenAI Assistant API working for a better understanding of how OpenAI Assistant API works and its lifecycle please refer to the OpenAI documentation and look the Reference to see all the available methods.

<?php

require(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');
# require(__DIR__ . '/php-open-ai-assistant-sdk/src/OpenAIAssistant.php');

use Erdum\OpenAIAssistant;

$openai = new OpenAIAssistant(
    $api_key,
    $assistant_id
);

$thread_id = isset($_SESSION[$session_id]) ? $_SESSION[$session_id] : null;

if (empty($thread_id)) {
    $thread_id = $openai->create_thread($query);
    $_SESSION[$session_id] = $thread_id;
} else {
    $openai->add_message($thread_id, 'Can you help me?');
}
$openai->run_thread($thread_id);

while ($openai->has_tool_calls) {
    $outputs = $openai->execute_tools(
        $thread_id,
        $openai->tool_call_id
    );
    $openai->submit_tool_outputs(
        $thread_id,
        $openai->tool_call_id,
        $outputs
    );
}

// Get the last recent message
$message = $openai->list_thread_messages($thread_id);
$message = $message[0];
$output = '';

if ($message['role'] == 'assistant') {
    foreach ($message['content'] as $msg) {
        $output .= "{$msg['text']['value']}\n";
    }
    exit($output);
}

How PHP functions will be called

Whatever function names you provide in the tools array will be called in your PHP environment accordingly by the Assistant API, for example in the below code function "get_account_balance" should be present in your PHP environment in order to be executed. If you want to run methods of an object or static methods of a class then you can provide an additional argument to the "execute_tools" method

<?php

// It will call the function directly whatever you have provided to the Assistant
$outputs = $openai->execute_tools(
    $thread_id,
    $openai->tool_call_id
);

// This will call methods on an instance of a class
$myObj = new MyAPI();
$outputs = $openai->execute_tools(
    $thread_id,
    $openai->tool_call_id,
    $myObj
);

// This will call static methods of a class
$outputs = $openai->execute_tools(
    $thread_id,
    $openai->tool_call_id,
    'MyAPI'
);

$openai->submit_tool_outputs(
    $thread_id,
    $openai->tool_call_id,
    $outputs
);

Create a new Assistant

<?php

require(__DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php');
# require(__DIR__ . '/php-open-ai-assistant-sdk/src/OpenAIAssistant.php');

use Erdum\OpenAIAssistant;

$openai = new OpenAIAssistant($api_key);

$openai->create_assistant(
    'Customer Support Assistant',
    'You are a customer support assistant of an Telecom company. which is a wholesale DID numbers marketplace. You have to greet the customers and ask them how you can help them then understand their query and do the required operation. The functions and tools may require order-id in the arguments but do not ask the customers to provide their order-id because order-id will be included automatically to function calls.',
    array(
        array(
            'type' => 'function',
            'function' => array(
                'name' => 'get_account_balance',
                'description' => 'This function retrieves the account balance of the customer with the provided order-id.',
                'parameters' => array(
                    'type' => 'object',
                    'properties' => array(
                        'order_id' => array(
                            'type' => 'string',
                            'description' => 'The order-id of the customer.'
                        )
                    ),
                    'required' => array('order_id')
                ),
            )
        )
    )
);
