Persistent Assistants

Should I use persistent assistants?

You might be wondering whether or not you should create an assistant using the /assistant endpoint with its assistantId. Or, can you just specify the assistant configuration when starting a call?

The /assistant endpoint is there for convenience to save you creating your own assistants table.

Use cases

• You won’t be adding more assistant properties on top of ours.
• You want to use the same assistant across multiple calls.

Otherwise, you can just specify the assistant configuration when starting a call.
