To allow a user to disconnect and reconnect to the same room while preserving the past conversation, you can use the

chat_ctx

parameter when initializing an agent. This ensures that the conversation history is retained across sessions. Here’s how you can implement this: 1. When initializing an agent, pass the chat context from the previous session:

class HelpfulAssistant(Agent):
    def __init__(self, chat_ctx: ChatContext):
        super().__init__(
            instructions="You are a helpful voice AI assistant.",
            chat_ctx=chat_ctx  # This preserves the conversation history
        )

2. When performing a handoff between agents, pass the chat context:

@function_tool()
async def on_consent_given(self):
    """Use this tool to indicate that consent has been given and the call may proceed."""
    # Pass the chat context during handoff
    return HelpfulAssistant(chat_ctx=self.session.chat_ctx)

By default, each new agent starts with a fresh conversation history. To include the prior conversation, set the

chat_ctx

parameter in the

Agent

constructor. Additionally, the complete conversation history for the session is always available in

session.history

, which you can access if needed. Sources: Workflows | LiveKit Docs
