How to connect AI Agent and OpenAI GPT Assistants
Create a New Scenario to Connect AI Agent and OpenAI GPT Assistants
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a AI Agent, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, AI Agent or OpenAI GPT Assistants will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find AI Agent or OpenAI GPT Assistants, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the AI Agent Node
Select the AI Agent node from the app selection panel on the right.

AI Agent
Configure the AI Agent
Click on the AI Agent node to configure it. You can modify the AI Agent URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the OpenAI GPT Assistants Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the AI Agent node, select OpenAI GPT Assistants from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within OpenAI GPT Assistants.

Set Up the AI Agent and OpenAI GPT Assistants Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring AI Agent, OpenAI GPT Assistants, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the AI Agent and OpenAI GPT Assistants integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between AI Agent and OpenAI GPT Assistants (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
