Two major updates to the Responses API: Connectors and Conversations are fully launched
,and the AI and large model ecosystem is undergoing another major upgrade. The Responses API adds two new functions, Connectors and Conversations, allowing AI tools to access external data and manage sessions more intelligently and automatically. Developers can quickly build more complete AI experiences in their products without complex backends.
1. Connectors: Directly connect to external data in a single call
Connectors allow AI tools to directly obtain contextual information such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Dropbox, etc. in a single API call. Through intelligent integration, AI can complete multi-step operations such as retrieval Q&A, automated summarization, and task planning in combination with external data, greatly reducing manual configuration and repetitive development.
2. Conversations: Sessions are persistent, no need to build a library
The Conversations feature supports saving conversation threads across requests, and developers no longer need to build their own databases to maintain context. AI tools can provide users with a continuous conversation experience, record historical messages, context and reasoning links, and make artificial intelligence interactions more natural and stable, especially suitable for customer service and assistant applications.
3. Application Prospects and Collaboration
Combining the generation and long-form capabilities of ChatGPT and Claude, and then linking the visual generation of Midjourney and Stable Diffusion, Connectors and Conversations can form an end-to-end AI automation pipeline. From external data reading, to multiple rounds of intelligent interaction, to content generation and visual output, developers can complete the construction of artificial intelligence products in one stop.
Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q: What is the main function of Connectors?
A: Connectors allow AI tools to access external data like Gmail, Google Calendar, Dropbox, and more with a single call, providing real-time context for AI for automated task execution.
Q: How does Conversations help with AI product development?
A: Conversations provides session persistence, allowing developers to save user context without building their own databases, allowing AI tools to have continuous conversations.
Q: Can it work with ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion?
A: Yes. ChatGPT and Claude can handle text generation and review, while Midjourney and Stable Diffusion are responsible for visual generation.
Q: What do these two updates mean for enterprise development?
A: Enterprises can build intelligent assistants, automated office and knowledge management systems faster, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the efficiency of AI and artificial intelligence applications.
