OpenAI API message roles
You are developing a chatbot for an event management agency that will be used to facilitate networking during events.
Using the OpenAI API, you prepare a dictionary to pass as the message to the chat.completions endpoint. The message needs to have 3 roles defined to ensure the model has enough guidance to provide helpful responses.
Throughout the course, you'll write Python code to interact with the OpenAI API. Entering your own API key is not necessary to create requests and complete the exercises in this course. You can leave the placeholder "<OPENAI_API_TOKEN>" as the key in api_key.
The OpenAI package has been pre-loaded for you.

Exercise instructions
- Create an OpenAI API Python client; setting your personal key is not required, you can leave the placeholder.

Hands-on interactive exercise
Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.
# Create the OpenAI client: you can leave "" as is
client = ____(api_key="")
# Define the conversation messages
conversation_messages = [
{"role": ____, "content": "You are a helpful event management assistant."},
{"role": ____, "content": "What are some good conversation starters at networking events?"},
{"role": ____, "content": ""}
]
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="gpt-4o-mini",
messages=conversation_messages
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
