Context Limit: First message

Feature RequestAI Agents

Instead of only allowing "Last X messages", I want to set context to "First message". That way, the first message I enter can be used as a context for any follow-up query I send to the AI

Alternative: Add a new select list with options "First X messages" to keep the first and last part of the context. This could allow the AI to

  • Forget the first part of a longer conversation (using only "Last X messages")

  • Forget the last part of a longer conversation (using only "First X messages")

  • Forget the middle part of a longer conversation (using both options)

    yeah similarly, i was thinking "pinned" messages in the chat can be sent always since they can have context (like the first message)

    For First message, can you add it to system instruction, this will help remember the context too?

      Ngoc Nguyen thanks for the suggestion. That's what I'm doing right now, but it means that I regularly need to update the system message:

      One agent where I'd like to implement this is a "classify and organize into one of the provided folders" type agent.

      When I change or add a folder to the list, I need to update the system message, but I'd rather change this to something like "use the folders from the next message".

      Then the system message would be constant a, and I can paste a folder list into the first message, then paste one file/document, let it classify that document, paste the next document, and so on. The agent would always see system message + first message + the last (document) and nothing else.

      Additionally, I can scroll up to verify if the folder list is still current, or if I need to start a new chat.
