Cool product, but I’m curious whether you tested it with docx files before releasing the SDKs?

I’d love to use it, but out of the box the context API is not working. Check out this reproducible Google Colab based on your official docs:

hey @EvanJ
Thanks for flagging this. I ran it past our team and if you can upgrade the sdk, that should help.

We’ll fix the notebook accordingly as well. Thanks a lot for alerting us, it helps other users as well when you do that!

Hi @EvanJ - Roy from the Assistant Team, this seems to be an older notebook, can you refer me to the original version?

in any case, +1 on @jocelyn - you can remove the ‘==0.4.0’, restart the kernel, and run again, alternatively you can run the same pip command, remove the ‘==0.4.0’ and add the --upgrade flag

let me know if that helps!

Hi @roy @jocelyn, thanks for the reply. I first encountered this issue on my local machine using the newest version of the sdk.

I pulled together the notebook by modifying an example from your docs and didn’t see the pinned ==0.4.0 version.

Here’s the same notebook with the newest version. It still does not work. Please try it yourselves.
