02/09/2025, 2:52 AMHello! When looking at Web Calling you have info about a temporary assistant https://docs.vapi.ai/quickstart/web#model-setup however I use the server SDK and don't see a way to have a temporary assistant in the same way. How could I create one with the Server SDK?
I also see you have an assistantOverrides function for Web Calling, what would be a similar way to go about it with the Server SDK?

02/10/2025, 4:02 AMActually It seems that to create a temporary assistant with the Server SDK I can use a squad member? https://docs.vapi.ai/squads-example Do I understand that right? @User If that's the case then that's great! Just Wondering about that last piece then, the equivalent of assistantOverrides in web calling but using the server SDK...Thanks for your help!
P.S what happened with @User @User ? It used to be pretty good at answering some questions!

02/10/2025, 6:59 PM@Shubham Bajaj For sure, I have a section in my app which allows people to create a list, upload contact info and call in batches. I wanted to give each list it's own assistant setup so that each call list may have a separate purpose (advertising, reminding them of their appointment, etc...)
So I need to be able to create a temporary assistant using the server SDK and ideally also be able to pass info like the customer name or their appointment time which seems to be possible with assistantOverrides but not available with the server SDK
