Large Message History Quickly Becoming Unmanageable

[mouimet-infinisoft]

Problem

The message history grows quickly and becomes unmanageable.

Cause

Large content within messages is causing the conversation history to become bloated.

Observations

• The intentions in messages are often short.
• If we could keep the integrity and the goals of the messages while pulling out the content, we could increase the awareness and usefulness of the discussion history for much longer without sacrificing content.
• The content itself is less important to repeat in each message. We can refer to it upon request when needed.

Solution

• Use ProcessorProvider with Specific Parsers: Dynamically activate these parsers during the conversation lifecycle.
  • These parsers are narrow and specialized in particular tasks.
  • They are activated based on patterns identified in the messages.
  • They cut off the identified content and store it automatically within Supabase storage, adding a URL reference with an annotation in the message to access the full content if required.
• Manageable Discussion History: This approach makes content easy to access on demand, ensuring it is available when needed and making the discussion history much more manageable.

Benefits

• Keeps conversation history concise and focused.
• Ensures relevant content is available without bloating the history.
• Improves the efficiency and readability of discussion logs.

We analyze a chat history of a csv to understand the impact content may have on overall size.

chat_history_rows.csv

Here is the analysis of the CSV file before and after removing content between triple backticks ( ):

• Initial Size: 59,959 bytes

• New Size (after removal): 40,653 bytes

• Percentage Decrease: 32.20%

By removing the large content blocks from the conversation history, the size of the CSV file has been reduced by approximately 32.20%. This demonstrates a significant reduction in size, which will help in managing and storing conversation history more efficiently.

Problem: The message history grows quickly and becomes unmanageable due to large content within messages, causing the conversation history to become bloated.

Initial Observations:

• The intentions in messages are often short.
• Keeping the integrity and goals of the messages while pulling out the content could increase the awareness and usefulness of the discussion history without sacrificing content.
• The content itself is less important to repeat in each message. It can be referred to upon request when needed.

Proposed Solution:

• Use ProcessorProvider with Specific Parsers: Dynamically activate parsers during the conversation lifecycle.
  • These parsers are narrow and specialized in particular tasks.
  • They are activated based on patterns identified in the messages.
  • They cut off the identified content and store it automatically within Supabase storage, adding a URL reference with an annotation in the message to access the full content if required.
• Manageable Discussion History: This approach makes content easy to access on demand, ensuring it is available when needed and making the discussion history much more manageable.

Benefits:

• Improves the efficiency and readability of discussion logs.

Analysis: A chat history CSV file was analyzed to understand the impact content removal might have on overall size.

Initial Size: 59,959 bytes
New Size (after removal): 40,653 bytes
Percentage Decrease: 32.20%

By removing large content blocks from the conversation history, the size of the CSV file was reduced by approximately 32.20%, demonstrating a significant reduction in size and helping in managing and storing conversation history more efficiently.

Conclusion: Although the initial assumption was that altering the flow of messages by removing content would maintain the integrity and usefulness of the conversation history, it was discovered that this led to unpredictable results and did not work as intended. The proposed solution, while theoretically sound, did not yield the desired practical outcomes. The conversation history remained bloated and unmanageable despite the attempted optimizations.
