If you read the documents here, you'll learn that it allows the assistant to call functions in your code base, letting it perform actions or fetch data it couldn't otherwise. It provides real time data to users which enhances the assistant's usefulness and it keeps the assistant focused on conversation while your code handles specific tasks.
