Does

generate_reply

have the previous context history of the conversation, or is it a separate isolated prompt sent to the model? If it's the second, how to I include the full context in the generation?

Thanks for reaching out, Luiz. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

I mean the

session.generate_reply

method.

I’m glad you asked about the

session.generate_reply()

method! It does include previous conversation context, but this happens only if the

chat_ctx

is explicitly preserved and passed to the agent. By default, each new agent or task starts fresh without any prior conversation history, unless we actively maintain that context. To make sure the full context is included in

generate_reply()

, here are some helpful steps you can take: • Pass the existing

chat_ctx

when initializing the agent or during handoff, so the new agent inherits the entire conversation history. • Access the full session history via

session.history

and use that to rebuild or restore the conversation state. • Manually create a

ChatContext

and update the agent’s context using

update_chat_ctx()

. • In multi-agent workflows, preserve context by copying and truncating the previous agent’s

chat_ctx

to include the relevant history. If you’d like, I’m here to provide specific examples or walk you through any of these methods in more detail—just let me know!
