Conversation Context Management

By default, only the 5 most recent back-and-forth turns in a conversation are kept as context. This automatic management helps maintain an optimal price/performance ratio while keeping the most relevant context. To preserve specific messages from earlier in the conversation:
  1. Click the three dots menu next to any message
  2. Select “Set as Important”
  3. The message will be marked with a flag 🚩 and kept in context
