1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

When using the Agent Node in Chatflow, I've noticed it doesn't maintain conversation history or have memory capabilities across interactions. Each message is treated as a new conversation, which significantly limits its usefulness for building conversational flows that require context from previous exchanges.

Current Behavior

  • The Agent Node processes each incoming message independently
  • No conversation context is maintained between messages
  • Previous user inputs and agent responses are not accessible in subsequent interactions

Expected Behavior

  • The Agent Node should maintain conversation history across multiple interactions
  • Previous messages and context should inform subsequent responses
  • Memory/state should persist throughout a conversation session

Impact
This limitation prevents building more sophisticated conversational experiences where context matters. Adding conversation history/memory would greatly enhance the capabilities of Chatflow and enable more complex and natural conversational applications.
