We have been using OpenAI's Assistant since it became available to developers in 2022. It's now November 2024 and nearly two years since the launch of the Assistant, and the core offering still has significant shortcomings. Ragwalla is addressing the shortcomings of the OpenAI Assistant with our own service, the Ragwalla Assistant which is wire-compatible with the OpenAI Assistant. Your existing integration will continue to work by simply setting the base_url option when instantiating the OpenAI class.

Shortcomings of the OpenAI Assistant:

  • Black box and a complete lack of transparency

  • Limited scalability, configurability and single-points of failure

  • Poor technical support

  • Limited Model Support
