Chat history for a Chatbot

[DDani]

Hi,

I’m building a chatbot using a multi-agent approach.

One of our requirements is that users should be able to view their past messages. To support this, we’re considering adding an endpoint in our service that retrieves user messages with pagination, as the user scrolls through the chat view.

While reviewing Agno memory, I couldn’t find a straightforward way to implement this. It seems that Agno’s memory is more focused on storing “memories” and “summaries” within the agent’s context, rather than maintaining a list of user messages that can be latter accessed.

Is that correct?

Thanks!

Hi @DDani
thanks for reaching out and supporting Agno!
We’ve shared this with the team and are working through requests one by one—we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Hello @DDani !

Using Agno you can easily manage the message history. We're gonna work on making our docs more intuitive. To maintain a history of messages, you would need to assign storage to your Agent (Docs for storage here).

Storage is different from Memory, as the Memory db stores just insightful details about the user to provide more context for future conversations. (Docs on Memory here)

All the storage Dbs have functions to help you build your own paginated history. For example: get_all_sessions and get_all_session_ids should be really helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions, happy to help take your project to completion

@ysolanky but how can we do this for Teams? would be really helpful to get an example of serving a chatbot conversation in teams. The storage table captures a memory column but the user messages & team leader messages all show up as a user role which messes up history

Hi @ysolanky ,
thanks for your reply, and sorry for the delay on answering you.
After taking a look on the code, I don't see an easy way of achieve what I'm looking for with the storage implementation. I need to load paginated while our users scroll up on the conversation (each user, has a unique session).

Right now, I have implemented my own persistent history.

Thanks!
