I mostly made this to learn the API, but sharing in case others find it useful

1. Setup your OpenAI API account, give it $$$, and set your OPENAI_API_KEY env variable
2. Customize the about-template.json with parameters, and save as about.json
3. Create a "knowledge" folder, and load it up with valid files for the API
4. Run npm install in this directory
5. Run node create_assistant.js
6. Check in your API account: you should have a very cool assistant. You'll also have an ASSISTANT NAME.json file locally, which gives you the ID etc for future use. ✌️
