Chats

Conversation sessions in OpenAgent and how they relate to Stores and Messages.

Chats

A Chat is a conversation session backed by a single Store. When users talk to OpenAgent, they are always talking through a Chat.

Chats are where you:

  • Start a conversation with an assistant
  • Continue multi-turn history
  • Review what happened in a session

For the full request lifecycle, streaming behavior, and how retrieval and tool calls work, see Chat.

What matters in practice

  • Use Stores to define the assistant
  • Use Chats to hold the conversation history
  • Use Messages to inspect each turn in detail

Stores

Complete field reference for the Store — the central unit of AI orchestration in OpenAgent.

Messages

Per-turn records inside a Chat, including the response, retrieval context, and tool activity.
