Use Cases

Public sessions are ideal for:
  • Product Demos - Let users try your assistant without signup
  • Landing Pages - Showcase capabilities to visitors
  • Kiosks - Public-facing voice interfaces
  • Testing - Easy testing during development

​
Security Considerations

Public assistants are accessible to anyone with the assistant ID. Ensure you:
  • Don’t include sensitive information in instructions
  • Implement rate limiting if needed
  • Monitor usage for abuse
  • Use secure tool implementations

​
Limitations

Public sessions have the following limitations:
  • Cannot access private user data
  • Limited to publicly safe operations
  • May have usage quotas applied
  • Session data is not persisted

​
Making an Assistant Public

To enable public access for an assistant: 
// Update existing assistant
await fetch(`https://api.upliftai.org/v1/realtime-assistants/${assistantId}`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    public: true
  })
});
