Add previous response from agent as context

As with all AI tools, often the flow of a longer conversation means the AI loses the overall context. It also tends to ‘forget’ what it’s previous responses said, so is there any way we can have the option to add the AI’s responses as context to the next prompt rather than having to copy them into the new prompt and deal with formatting errors?

Maybe this is already possible, but I can’t find a way to do it in the latest version of the application.

Hi @BigRedSwitch and welcome to the forum.

Thank you for the feature request :slight_smile:

When a chat gets longer eventually you will see at the bottom of chat under the input box a text to “Start a new chat”… This shows that the context may be full and its advisable to start a new chat with the context of the last chat.

When a chat gets long it can cause hallucinations and mistakes due to the AI model losing focus on what needs to be done. Note that starting a new chat from the old one doesnt copy responses 1:1. But it allows you to continue making request with the related content summarized.

Overall for working with AI its more adviseable to tell AI to store important information in .md files as you can then reference those files without having to copy paste entire chats. Make sure to separate the information by topic or task into separate files so each files do not get too long.

Hi T1000,

Thanks for the reply, but that’s not quite what I meant. The AI often states something in its response which is relevant later down the line. Currently, the only way to refer back to that is to copy and paste it, which loses any kind of context. If, as we can with code, we could add a response/part of a previous response to the next prompt, it would often make it easier to refer back to relevant points the AI made that have become defocused due to the conversation branching.
