Transcripts

A transcript is an ordered sequence of system, user, assistant, and tool messages. Preserve the complete sequence when later model calls need to understand what already happened.

Continue a direct completion

const result = await createCompletion(model, {
  messages: previousMessages,
  input: 'Rewrite the last answer as three bullets.',
})

Direct completions accept history but do not persist it. The application owns previousMessages and decides what to append.

Use an agent session

const response = await agent
  .session('thread_123', {
    userId: 'user_456',
    metadata: { tenantId: 'tenant_789' },
  })
  .prompt('Explain the last tool result.')
  .send()

With memory, Anvia loads prior messages and appends new runtime messages according to the configured save policy.

Preserve enough context

Store assistant tool calls and their tool results, not only visible assistant text. Keep message order, IDs, and strict-JSON metadata intact so providers, sessions, and UI adapters can rehydrate the same transcript.

Your application still owns retention, deletion, tenant checks, redaction, and audit policy. Conversation memory is not a substitute for product authorization.
