async function createAgent() {
  const response = await openai.chat.completions.create({
    model: "gpt-4",
    messages: [
      {
        role: "system",
        content: "You are a helpful AI assistant."

      {
        role: "user",
        content: "Help me plan my day"
      }
    ],
  });
  
  return response.choices[0].message.content;
}
