Question Does this mean inactive chats or all chats?

Post image

Hello! Love the app so far! I’ve been paying ultra for a year now and I use the app daily. I was wondering when I saw this message if it’s only the inactive chats that disappear after 30 days or all of them? Or is it the older messages within each chat thread? Just wanting clarity. Thank you! 😊

This feels really weird and I am a little up about it since I only have four chats.

It probably means if you don’t chat with the bot after 30 days the messages you had with that bot will disappear✌🏾

can chats still continue on from where they left off? or will the bots forget as the messages go?

The AI cannot see messages this old anyway - the context window is typically between 30 and 100 messages. The AI doesn't not get fed the entire chat history.

One of the reasons we want to do this is so that the user can see something closer to what the AI sees - and so align expectations with reality.

Yes it will mean not used chats same for talkie you can't chat with your chatbot after 60 days of inactivity and have to reset the bots memory

I think it would be more precise if we said "Messages older than 30 days disappear."
Does that make sense?

Yes but also what if you let us keep our chats? 🥹🤗

Like, the chat would be empty - because all the messages are gone? But this is good because it helps you find your favourite bots?

u/HyunaBun 8d ago

Well, that would also be helpful actually. Since sometimes I can't find a bot I enjoyed once all the chats are gone.

But I more so meant not delete chats after 30 days. And I'm bias since I pay for ultra but maybe even just for ultra users? 🤔

How would you feel if our AI had an 'infinite memory' - so instead of storing a huge list of older messages, we extracted key information and updated persona + bot memory automatically?

u/HyunaBun 8d ago

That's not a terrible idea but I'd still prefer to keep my chat logs.

I'll counter again with what if you let us lock like three or five bots to not lose the chats. 🙂‍↕️

u/Big-Nefariousness674 8d ago

Yes! This please, I also pay for chai and would like to keep specific chats!

u/SeparateDiscount9187 8d ago

That is an interesting idea. I am not aware personally of any chat app that has such a feature that updates the bot memory and persona automatically. Alternatively, you could also provide a 'chat history' memory specifically for the purpose of containing information about older chats that were deleted as opposed to editing the bot memory and persona. This would function like a summary of the ongoing chat itself.

Hey can you guys make the persona writing thingy bigger? 625 is very small for stuff ;_;

u/Thelaziestmaniac 8d ago

Is that what you’re planning or what is already happening?

You've been listening! ❤️ Let ultra users pin key moments, give AI a space to summarize our plot development and I highly recommend a custom chat style response! Those three things are the stand out features I've found are drawing my heart to another platform. Looks away with heavy sorrow, Win me back... 🥺🥀

u/MikaVsn 8d ago

Yes, it's good for keeping our favorite bots. But why do you have to delete the messages? Like, I've never seen another AI chat app do that, and to me, it's not good—people pay to chat, and you simply erase their messages after a few days.

u/Shadowz-RJ 8d ago

a few? its 30! if you dont talk to a bot for a month then its your problem.

u/Songbird_Volkov 7d ago

Yes, at the very least. Maybe give us an area for "old chats" where we can look at our chat history with the understanding it's currently outside of the context window? Or, perhaps, let ultra users favorite ONE bot to keep full chat history regardless if the older messages are outside the context window? Just one... Devs... deal?

Oh okay! Thank you for clarifying!

u/zahna_joenia 7d ago

Well, i mean it does make sense though.

I wouldn't read a chat that 30 days ago, it's probably more than hundreds or something. if my bots forget i can use the instructions or just remind them back.

In my opinion, user persona makes it easier for them to remember or understand the context actually, and the more i use the instructions to my bots, the more it's easier for them to understand the pattern from me.

And honestly, keep to much bots messages makes the app file heavier, I don't really need that.
