Question

Describe your question. Provide details if available.

I have a chatbot using Realtime Agent. After each turn I would save the generated transcriptions as being the user and agent messages, then save them onto a database.

What I want to know is that whether it is possible to populate the chat history of a newly connected Realtime Agent session using the messages saved in the database.

Thank you

The conversation history is managed on the realtime agent side, so there is no way to pass the initial set of messages to the underlying session side. Initializing realtime agents with the sufficient conversation context (e.g., summary of the past convos) and/or enabling some tools to look up those information could be straight-forward.

Okay thank you @seratch

Hello @seratch

Just to make sure, so there is no natively supported solution to achieve this functionality (to append directly to the messages at the start of the connection)

Thank you

Yes, you're right. There is no feature for it at this moment.
