Originally created by @til2000 on GitHub (Jan 26, 2026).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4903

What would you like to see?

As a user I have long conversations until I reach a conclusion.
once I reached that conclusion I want to condense the history of the conversation and discard the original messages.

As a user I can ask llm to condense the last 5 messages before the last response and can edit a past message and provide the condensed message, but I cannot delete prompts and responses.

Also, as a user I am lazy and would like be able:

  • to mark messages from the past that shall be included in the summarization process.
  • to mark messages from the past that shall be deleted

As a user I have long conversations until I reach a conclusion. once I reached that conclusion I want to condense the history of the conversation and discard the original messages. As a user I can ask llm to condense `the last 5 messages before the last response` and can edit a past message and provide the condensed message, but I cannot delete prompts and responses. Also, as a user I am lazy and would like be able: - to mark messages from the past that shall be included in the summarization process. - to mark messages from the past that shall be deleted

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Jan 26, 2026):

Thank you for the suggestion, but after reviewing this request, we have decided not to move forward with it for the following reasons:

Implementing a system to selectively mark, delete, and summarize specific message ranges would require a significant overhaul of the chat interface. We aim to keep the UI clean and intuitive for the majority of users, and frankly, this won't be used a ton and will only add clutter to the UI

Condensing history is a great idea, but the specific manual "marking" workflow you described is quite niche. For most users, this would add unnecessary friction to the standard chat experience.

In the meantime, you can achieve a similar result by manually copying the "conclusion" or a summary of the conversation and pasting it as the first message in a new thread or a new workspace. This allows you to "reset" the context while keeping the relevant information.
