05/15/2024, 5:05 PMI am now creating an assistant using this POST request when I receive a call. It gets created for every call, and the prompt and some settings are different depending on who the caller is
https://docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/assistants/create-assistant
How can I add a knowledge base to it? I see that I can add a file in Vapi dashboard, but how can I add it to a new assistant? And must the file be sent every time or can I use one of the previously uploaded files?

As of now, there isn't a documented method for directly adding a knowledge base to an assistant via the POST request when creating it dynamically for each call. The option to add files is available through the Vapi dashboard, but there isn't a specified API endpoint for attaching these files to dynamically created assistants.
For now, you would need to manually manage the knowledge base through the dashboard and ensure that your dynamically created assistants have access to the same data.
For more detailed information on customizing the assistant's configuration, you can refer to the [Web Calling Quickstart Guide]() [(1)]() .
