pinecone-plugin-assistant 0.2.1

Assistant plugin for Pinecone SDK

Assistant

Interact with Pinecone's Assistant APIs, e.g. create, manage, and chat with assistants (currently in beta). Pinecone Assistant is also available in the console.

⚠️ Note

Pinecone Assistant is currently in beta and access is limited by a waitlist. If you're interested in trying out Pinecone Assistant, please submit a request via the console.

Quickstart

The following example highlights how to use an assistant to store and understand documents on a particular topic and chat with the assistant about those documents with the ultimate goal of semantically understanding your data.

from pinecone import Pinecone
from pinecone_plugins.assistant.models.chat import Message

pc = Pinecone(api_key='<<PINECONE_API_KEY>>')

# Create an assistant (in this case we'll store documents about planets)
space_assistant = pc.assistant.create_assistant(assistant_name="space")

# Upload information to your assistant
space_assistant.upload_file("./space-fun-facts.pdf")

# Once the upload succeeded, ask the assistant a question
msg = Message(content="How old is the earth?")
resp = space_assistant.chat_completions(messages=[msg])
print(resp)

# {'choices': [{'finish_reason': 'stop',
# 'index': 0,
# 'message': {'content': 'The age of the Earth is estimated to be '
#                         'about 4.54 billion years, based on '
#                         'evidence from radiometric age dating of '
#                         'meteorite material and Earth rocks, as '
#                         'well as lunar samples. This estimate has '
#                         'a margin of error of about 1%.',
#             'role': 'assistant'}}],
# 'id': '00000000000000001a377ceeaabf3c18',

Assistants API

Create Assistant

To create an assistant, see the below example. This API creates a assistant with the specified name, metadata, and optional timeout settings.

from pinecone import Pinecone

pc = Pinecone(api_key='<<PINECONE_API_KEY>>')
metadata = {"author": "Jane Doe", "version": "1.0"}

assistant = pc.assistant.create_assistant(
    assistant_name="example_assistant", 
    metadata=metadata, 
    timeout=30
)

Arguments:

• assistant_name The name to assign to the assistant.
  • type: str
• metadata: A dictionary containing metadata for the assistant.
  • type: Optional[dict[str, any]] = None
• timeout: Specify the number of seconds to wait until assistant operation is completed.
  • If None, wait indefinitely until operation completes
  • If >=0, time out after this many seconds
  • If -1, return immediately and do not wait.

Chat Completions

Performs a chat completion request to the following assistant. If the stream bool is set to true, this function will stream the response in chunks by returning a generator.

from pinecone import Pinecone
from pinecone_plugins.assistant.models.chat import Message

pc = Pinecone(api_key='<<PINECONE_API_KEY>>')

space_assistant = pc.assistant.Assistant(assistant_name="space")

msg = Message(content="How old is the earth?")
resp = space_assistant.chat_completions(messages=[msg])

# The stream version
chunks = space_assistant.chat_completions(messages=[msg], stream=True)

for chunk in chunks:
    if chunk:
        print(chunk)

Arguments:

• messages: The current context for the chat request. The final element in the list represents the user query to be made from this context.

  • type: List[Message] where Message requires the following:
    • role: str, the role of the context ('user' or 'agent')
    • content: str, the content of the context

• stream: If this flag is turned on, then the return type is an Iterable[StreamingChatResultModel] where data is returned as a generator/stream.

  • type: bool, default false

Return:

• The default result is a ChatResultModel with the following format:
  • choices: A list with the following structure:
    • finish_reason: The reason the response finished, e.g., "stop".
    • index: The index of the choice in the list.
    • message: An object with the following properties:
      • content: The content of the message.
      • role: The role of the message sender, e.g., "assistant".

See the example below

{
    "choices": [
        {
            "finish_reason": "stop",
            "index": 0,
            "message": {

• When stream is set to true, the response is an iterable of StreamingChatResultModel objects with the following properties:
  • choices: A list with the following structure:
    • finish_reason: The reason the response finished, which can be null while streaming.
    • index: The index of the choice in the list.
