Next.js 14 OpenAI Assistants Chatbot with File Search

This is a Next.js 14 project using features like App Router and Server Actions. It showcases the use of the OpenAI Assistants API with the File Search Tool enabled, allowing it to interact with any document supported by OpenAI.
This application does not rely on any provisioned vector database or third-party libraries for Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Instead, it exclusively utilizes the OpenAI SDK to manage and interact with proprietary documents.
