OpenAI Assistants API with Function Calling Examples

Quiz

I created a Geography quiz question creating function, which is used by the Assistant. The idea with function calling is that the assistant can populate the arguments of our function and also act upon the return value if there is one.

The quiz.ipynb notebook provides an example to how we can use Function Calling with the OpenAI Assistants API.

Air Temperature and Air Quality

Building on the knowledge from the previous example, I extended the function calling capability first by calling 2 functions parallel (parallel_function_calls.py) and then, used the Weather API and the Air Quality API by Open Meteo to demonstrate this functionality whith a real world application example. (current-weather.ipynb)
