  2. Installation of SDK
    • Install the SDK using the command:
      pip install openai_dash_agents    
  3. Example Project
    • Create a simple function to return weather information based on city input.
    • Import necessary libraries:
      from Agents import agentRunner, FunctionTool    
    • Demonstrate how to use the new Responses API with a custom tool and run async commands.
  4. Responses API vs. Chat Completions API
    • Discusses the transition from the Chat Completions API to the Responses API, which is seen as an improved version.
    • Responses API is not expected to phase out the Chat Completions API.
