OpenAI

How it works

An application sends input and instructions to the OpenAI API and receives a model response. Developers choose the model and connect the result to their own interface or workflow. The platform supplies model access and supporting tools; the surrounding application controls permissions, stored information, validation, and what actions happen next.

What you can build

Build document assistants, conversational interfaces, information extraction workflows, and applications that combine AI with existing tools.

• Knowledge assistant

  Retrieve relevant material from an approved document collection and use it as context for an assistant that helps people find answers with supporting references.

• Structured document intake

  Convert supplied text into proposed fields for an application, validate those fields against expected rules, and route uncertain or incomplete results for review.

Things to consider

Test the feature with realistic examples and handle incorrect outputs explicitly. Model choice, response time, usage costs, and data handling should match the workflow.
