Can you add a talk to text option here so the user can speak into the app and then receive a text response from the AI assistant?

[@MarlonVan]

YEAHHHHH, I have been waiting for this. Thanks again Steve!

[@the_digitalpro]

You are most welcome!

Hi Steve, First of all a huge thank you from France ! You help me a lot you cant imagine how usefull this video is ! I ve a question when i try the app i ve a first answer but we i ask another one i never get a response back. Thanks a lot for all your work !

[@the_digitalpro]

This sounds to me like you have an issue with the threadId. Make sure you have spelt it correctly across both FlutterFlow and BuildShip.

[@Loreauxvincent]

@@the_digitalpro Thanks for you answer, i'll investigate

Recently subscribed and I’ve been watching a lot of your tutorials lately. Thanks for the awesome content! I love your teaching style in the videos. I’m a fairly new beginner on a lot of this stuff and don’t know how to code, but I definitely understand the power of these tools. I think it would be super helpful if you were able to make just a generic tutorial on the low code stuff used for APIs through BuildShip (or other similar platforms). I follow along when you walk through it in these videos, but I find it hard to then apply it to my own projects because my brain doesn’t operate in that language yet. Maybe even just something like creating several completely different workflows in BuildShip and walking through your thought process and what the code you’re writing is doing! I feel like I’ve learned Flutterflow and even basic functionalities in Supabase relatively quickly, but the API calls to BuildShip are a little more complicated. Regardless, thanks for the great content and keep it up!

[@willgately]

has anyone who was getting the "can not chat now" response in the tester figured out how to fix it/what they/ I may have done wrong

[@clinbrokers]

This is awesome ❤

[@the_digitalpro]

Thank you very much!

[@nguyenquangngoc3993]

Great video as usual. Do the assistant nodes have streaming option yet?

[@andreapinna3080]

Hi Steve, yet another perfect video! I am recommending your channel to all my no-code-loving friends because of your clarity, competence and the accuracy of your content. I have a question, if you have time to answer: I remember a series of videos of yours from a few months ago (it was 5 videos + a bonus video) in which you built a chat and indicated (in the last video) how to save the chat and resurrect it. The construction method was different from this one, in that video you used custom functions and therefore code. In this situation, however, what would the process look like to achieve the same result? Thanks for all

[@the_digitalpro]

Hi Andrea thank you very much for your kind words. Appreciate sending out the message to others. The 5+1 series was quite narrow in focus and did contain some lowcode to move the series along. The implementation of this AI Assistant Node in BuildShip does simplify the process of communicating with OpenAI and BuildShip workflows could be extended to support keeping the history of the chat. For example you could use BuildShip's own database or you could use something like Supabase or Firebase plumbed in to the BuildShip workflow. It would require some additional work but certainly could work. Alternatively of course you could get responses back from BuildShip, within FlutterFlow, and then save these to some kind of chat history either on device or in an external database. Something is telling me that saving these to a database within BuildShip is the better approach because it keeps the simplicity of your FlutterFlow application more UI focused. I could look at creating an extension to cover this. I'll have a think.

[@andreapinna3080]

@@the_digitalpro thank a lot! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@buildingsomething1]

Am I missing something, what is Buildship doing here that you can't just do in Flutterflow directly with the assistants API?

[@the_digitalpro]

So you can implement in FF directly but you'll be placing your logic directly inside your frontend application. You'll be exposing your OpenAI key which is risky because if this is compromised you would need to rollout an update to your app with a new key then run the risk again. Using also the BuildShip approach you tap in to extended functionality which is built for you.

[@janmolski]

I would love to see how to enable streaming (the output is streamed live in chunks instead of waiting for it to finish). Also would love to see the chunks the system uses to generate the response and show it to the user.

[@Uchenna_Onyeji]

This is awesome 👍. Please after following your video tutorial. I created everything but during the testing it echo can not chat at This time. How can I solve this please .

[@robertszelinski8778]

Can you add a talk to text option here so the user can speak into the app and then receive a text response from the AI assistant?

[@scottwallace9498]

I'm not getting a response back when I test the app. I see the response in the openai thread though. Also if I "Respond & Test" the call within the "Define API Call" section, I do get the response back. Do I have something wrong with the response assignment within the "AIChatComponent " of the flutterflow project? I used the "final" project provided and just added my Shipbuilder info to it.

[@SaMi-wq3kj]

Hello, Thank you for the video, it was very well explained. However, I am experiencing a persistent error during testing. Whenever I send a message in the chat, I always receive an error in the snack bar.

[@hasymiller]

Does BuildShip changes the response on the testing? I no longer seeing all the API JSON response as you. I just have: threadId and response

[@the_digitalpro]

No buildship should not manipulate the json response. Did you get it sorted?

[@sindhumathi9209]

Can I use Imagen Model from Vertex AI in Buildship?

[@Bill-ai]

hello, I'm getting the same error as one of your other users/commenters below ""Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim')"". have we figured out the reason and how to fix?

[@the_digitalpro]

I'm super puzzled by this one. My version is working fine. Can you explain at what point you are seeing this error? This would really help me understand where to focus and help.

[@Bill-ai]

@@the_digitalpro thanks. I had one of the variables as threadID and one as threadId. just the capitalized D threw it off. All good now. But I have a different question. The normal user experience with ChatGPT on a desktop is that the user hits the "return" button. How can I change this so instead of clicking on the send/arrow icon, the user can just type text and hit return. I tried "on submit" action on the text input field but for some reason that is not working. Thanks!

[@zaxo96]

Hey! I keep trying to use the flutterflow project you listed in the description but the project file keeps booting me off saying I do not have permission to use this :/ Any idea for fixes! Thanks!

[@melvinjongen1697]

Can you show how to make an connection with a calander (google) so people can make an appointment trough the chat that you create a sort of frontdesk helper ?

[@NGStudios-w6y]

What is BuildShip and what is it for?

[@KJPsyXX]

Can this be build to use a users own docs on firebase as knowledgebase for the assistant?

[@adriangithenji461]

Hi Steve. I recreated this buildship flow to a T(using my own OpenAI key and assistant) but I got an error message that said "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'trim')". Where did I go wrong? Help!

[@the_digitalpro]

Hello. Do you get this error when testing your workflow in BuildShip? If so this indicates something local in BuildShip which is the issue and not FlutterFlow. Try recreating the trim node again and referencing it once more in the workflow.

[@adriangithenji461]

@@the_digitalpro Hi. Thanks for the response 🙂. Yes, the error message pops up while testing in buildship. Haven't even gotten to flutterflow yet. I tried rebuilding the node but that didn't work either 🤷🏾‍♂️. Any other ideas? Thanks again 🙏🏾

Hello @the_digitalpro I used your final project file and validated the buildhip test and openAI test as well. I continue to get "cannot chat at this moment". The buildship testing worked, the API test on flutterflow worked, but when I test the application it fails. I feel like the backend call is failing (going to false workflow and hence the snack bar shows that message). I have watched the video a few times. can you please help.

[@willgately]

did you ever figure this out? It's been an insane sturggle

Yes indeed you'll have no issues on the free plan.

SAME did u find an answer please?

[@pedrojt7688]

@@Tahycoon no not yet

[@Tahycoon]

​@@pedrojt7688 I think I figured it out, first make sure you have the field as "threadId" and not "threadID" or "threadid" in both FlutterFlow and Builship. Also when you change the name in Buildship you need to reselect threadId in the second node. Now after that's done, make sure the threadId is not null, just add a space in the component state and when you test call in in the API tab make sure you enter a space. And if it still doesn't work and it gives you error 500, then you have to change it from Post to Get and click save and click test (it won't work of course), then change it back to Post, click save, and click test again and you should get a response! If it works in the API tab then it should work in the action flow!
