OpenAI has recently updated its Assistance API, giving developers greater control over how AI assistants interact with and utilize information from files. This enhancement boosts the accuracy and relevance of AI-generated responses, representing a significant leap toward fully autonomous AI agents that can perform tasks on users' devices, such as accessing and managing files, rather than merely searching the web. This advancement is part of a larger trend among major tech companies focused on developing and refining AI agents for various applications, although comprehensive benchmarking for these agents is still in its infancy.
