l’m seeking to build an app that enable users to interact with pre-defined OpenAI assistants and vector stores.

Work done so far:  
l have successfully connected the app to OpenAI integration… the basic workflow of the integration is done.

The biggest pieces that need help:  
User management and access to the different Assistants.

and connecting the assistants to the OpenAI API (I already have the Vector Stores and Assistants configured on the OpenAI platform).

I currently have 3 assistants that I would like configured, but over time, I may add many more.

Are there functions you build directly into the assistants that Pinecone can’t help with?
