What would you like to see?

I'm becoming a daily user of AnythingLLM. As such I seem to be using threads to no end; starting a new one each time I have a new topic. Akin to starting a new conversation.

Some issues I note with this pattern are:

  • I lose the "gem" dialogs
  • I don't always rename threads for easy finding later
  • There is no way to "star" or "mark-as-favorite" a thread or particular part of a chat.
  • When I get into the flow, the thread topics drift significantly so renaming them almost doesn't make sense.

It may be really cool to 'curate' your dialogs, meaning, select the various user/assistant pairs and move them into a new dialog.

Example:

  • I'm creating a thread for learning postgresql
  • I go back and forth for 10 turns
  • I then migrate the conversation to datatypes for a turn or two
  • Then the conversation migrates to data modeling for 10 more turns
  • At this point, what do I name the thread so I can find into about datatypes?
  • How can I capture the details on this topic?
  • Its akin to creating and curating your own StackOverflow link library; nearly the same problem

Not exactly sure how to handle this from a UX/UI point of view, but its definitely a missing link in ALL chat interfaces.

Understood the request at hand. Partially related, are you aware for forking a conversation? From any chat you can click on the "..." for a chat and the popup will have an option named "fork" which will take all history up to and including that message and make a new thread.

Just worth a mention on that detail

Ooooohhh! That sounds cool, ok.

That's definitely part of the solution. Keeping track of threads is another part.

I believe I saw a "search through threads" or "search through chat history" enhancement.

That would likely be enough.

Chat soon
