if yes what fucntuon should i use for chatting earlieer i was using open ai but it takes time

Hi there! 👋 I wasn't able to find a specific function that would be faster than OpenAI for chatting. However, I can definitely help with creating an AI assistant that sends messages through your backend and receives responses, along with some alternatives to OpenAI that might be faster. Yes, you can create an AI assistant where you can send messages through your backend and receive responses using Vapi. Here's how: ## Sending Messages to the Assistant You can use the

.send()

method in the Vapi Web SDK to send messages to the assistant:

javascript
vapi.send({
  type: "add-message",
  message: {
    role: "system",
    content: "The user has pressed the button, say peanuts",
  },
});

According to the [Vapi SDK documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/sdk/web), this allows you to send intermediate messages to the assistant during a call. ## Receiving Messages from the Assistant To receive messages from the assistant, you can use the

message

event:

javascript
vapi.on("message", (message) => {
  console.log(message);
});

This will let you receive various assistant messages back to the client during the call, as mentioned in the [Vapi SDK documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/sdk/web). ## Backend Integration Options For backend integration, you have several options: 1. **Server URLs**: You can send real-time conversation data to your backend using server URLs. According to the [Vapi server URL documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/server-url), this is essential for building more complex applications. 2. **Webhooks**: You can configure your assistant to send server messages to a webhook, which is more reliable than client-side events because it works even if the client disconnects before the call ends, as noted in [Discord discussions](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1342410769232302122).

Hey Aryan Bisht, Could you rephrase your ticket description? Also, share an example so I can understand what exactly you're trying to achieve and better help you by aligning with your purpose and usage.

hey @Shubham Bajaj i wanted to make ai assistant where i want to send the user added message to my assistant that i creasted and the send the response from ai to users

Just want you to confirm your user will send some messages not through voice but through text and you want that message to get appended to the live assistant in n call and then using the user message then generates its next response. if this is what you are looking out for, you can use live call control, add message and set the trigger response enable to true and it will work.
