Calling Blocks as "Functions" for OpenAI's new functions feature

Teaser to the next release of Remix (hopefully this week, I fell behind).

OpenAI released a cool feature that can be used instead of super-prompting to coax a chat agent to send the proper data to be handled for functions. I was already doing this, but through a layer of text parsing - this streamlines things a bit (however, I will keep the old implementation, since other APIs in the future might not have this feature and I want to allow them to execute canvas functions as well).

Here is a quick video demo below, followed by a long form tweet where I lay out what is happening here step by step...
