Keep a long chat on track

As a chat grows, Wisetree keeps a running summary of earlier turns so your agents stay on topic without you re-explaining. You can steer back anytime with a quick recap, split a new topic into its own chat, and trust the thread to hold across a long conversation.

A good conversation can run long. So it does not drift or forget itself, Wisetree quietly keeps the thread — and you have a couple of easy ways to steer.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Let the summary do the work

    As the chat grows, a running summary keeps earlier points in mind so you do not repeat them.

  2. 2

    Steer with a recap

    If the thread wanders, a one-line recap of what you want pulls the team back on course.

  3. 3

    Split off a new topic

    When the subject really changes, start a fresh chat — it keeps each conversation clean.

  4. 4

    Revisit the goal

    Restating the goal now and then keeps a long session pointed at the outcome you want.

Why context stays bounded

Instead of dragging the entire history into every turn, Wisetree carries a summary plus the recent messages. That keeps answers quick and focused even after a long back-and-forth.

Key terms

Running summary.
A rolling recap of earlier turns the agents carry so they remember a long chat.

FAQ

Should I start a new chat for a new topic?
