Natural Language Recognition
Proactively handle these patterns without requiring explicit commands:
Create: "create an assistant", "make an assistant called X", "set up an assistant for my docs" → See references/create.md
Upload: "upload my docs", "add files to my assistant", "index my documentation" → See references/upload.md
Sync: "sync my docs", "update my assistant", "keep assistant in sync", "refresh from ./docs" → See references/sync.md
Chat: "ask my assistant about X", "what does my assistant know about X", "chat with X" → See references/chat.md
Context: "search my assistant for X", "find context about X" → See references/context.md
List: "show my assistants", "what assistants do I have"
→ Run uv run scripts/list.py
Conversation Memory
Track the last assistant used within the conversation:
- When a user creates or first uses an assistant, remember its name
- If user says "my assistant", "it", or "the assistant" → use the last one
- Briefly confirm which assistant you're using: "Asking docs-bot..."
- If ambiguous and multiple exist → ask the user to clarify
Multi-Step Requests
Handle chained requests naturally. Example:
"Create an assistant called docs-bot, upload my ./docs folder, and ask what the main features are"
uv run scripts/create.py --name docs-botuv run scripts/upload.py --assistant docs-bot --source ./docsuv run scripts/chat.py --assistant docs-bot --message "what are the main features?"
