Chat Interface
Sessions
Managing conversation sessions
Sessions maintain conversation context between you and the AI agent. Understanding session management helps you work more effectively.
Session Basics
What's in a Session
- Conversation history (all messages)
- Tool call results
- Node name registry (for referencing created nodes)
- Agent state (model, mode)
Session Lifecycle
- Start: Click Connect or send first message
- Active: Conversation continues with full context
- End: Click Disconnect or close window
Managing Sessions
New Session
Start fresh with a new session:
- Click the New Session button
- All previous context is cleared
- Node references are reset
Use when:
- Starting a new task
- Context has become confused
- Want clean slate
Continue Session
Sessions persist within an editor session:
- Close and reopen chat window: Session continues
- Restart editor: Session ends
Save Session
Save conversation for later:
- Click Save Session
- Enter a name
- Session saved to project
Load Session
Resume a saved session:
- Click Load Session
- Select from saved sessions
- Conversation history restored
Node References
During a session, the tool tracks created nodes:
Agent: Created node "PrintString_a1b2c3d4"
You: Connect that node to the Branch True pin
Agent: [Knows which node you mean by "that node"]Node references are:
- Valid within the session only
- Lost when session ends
- Based on asset + graph + name
Context Window
AI models have limited context windows. Large conversations may:
- Truncate older messages
- Lose early context
- Require session restart
Tips for long conversations:
- Start new sessions for new tasks
- Summarize completed work
- Keep individual requests focused
Multi-Agent Sessions
When switching agents mid-session:
- Conversation history transfers
- Tool results preserved
- Node references maintained
Note: Different agents may interpret history differently.
Troubleshooting
"Lost context"
The AI forgot earlier conversation:
- Context window exceeded
- Start new session with summary
- Reference specific assets by name
"Node not found"
The AI can't find a referenced node:
- Node reference from previous session
- Asset was modified externally
- Use asset path instead of session reference
Slow Responses
Long sessions accumulate context:
- Start fresh for faster responses
- Clear irrelevant history
- Consider smaller, focused sessions
