When the chat gets too long

When the chat gets too long, your agent keeps going

Every AI can only keep so much in mind at once. When a chat gets close to that limit, your agent starts a fresh conversation, reads the project log and keeps working.

A fresh start that remembers

Before the chat is full, the agent starts a fresh conversation on its own and reads the project log first, so it knows the decisions and the next step.

A bigger memory for one agent

For an agent that needs more always in mind, switch on a bigger always-loaded memory. It costs more per message, so use it where it matters.

Questions

Why does an AI forget in long chats?

It can only keep a certain amount of text in mind at once. Past that, older parts drop out. Starting fresh with the project log avoids that.

Do I need to do anything?

No. The agent starts fresh on its own when the chat gets close to full.

Hand your agents real work. You stay in control.
