Is it not possible to create ephemeral assistants with knowledge base? If not, then why can't we use knowledgebaseid as part of assistantOverrides? Seems quite counter intuitive. Does that mean we would have to patch an existing assistant repeatedly with the knowledgebaseid before initiating a call?

Please clarify.

You're correct that the ability to create ephemeral assistants with a knowledge base would be highly beneficial for flexibility and efficiency. However, if the current system does not support using `knowledgebaseid` as part of `assistantOverrides`, it might be due to the way the system is designed or for reasons related to maintaining the integrity and consistency of the knowledge base across different sessions.

If you cannot directly use `knowledgebaseid` with ephemeral assistants, it does seem like you would need to update an existing assistant with the `knowledgebaseid` before initiating a call. This could be to ensure that the knowledge base is properly loaded and associated with the assistant's lifecycle.

However, I would recommend reaching out to support to confirm the current capabilities and best practices for using a knowledge base with ephemeral assistants. They might have updates or workarounds that could help streamline your process.

<@872793541372420096> by Ephemeral assistants, I guess your saying about transient assistants. 
You can use transient assistant along with knowledge base, but you have to create the knowledge base first.  Now when coming to use assistantOverrides, you can pass the knowledgeBaseId using it without the need to patch IT.

Do let me know if you have more questions.
