Why Look for Existing Assistants?
Before creating a new assistant, it's beneficial to check if someone has already built an assistant that meets your needs. If you are able to access an existing assistant, that means the creator intended to share it and save you time and effort.
This approach has several advantages:
Leverage existing expertise
Ensure consistency across your organization
Learn from well-designed assistants

Using an Existing Assistant
Once you've found an appropriate assistant:
