Hi @pamelafox , This feature is most asked and I think this is the only feature missing from this repository , Rest everything already covered , Can you add this one as well?

Issues #977 #489 , Also this PR will help in fixing may other relatable issue with chat history.

@bdleavitt , This pull request needs to be updated since the code has been significantly modified.

We'll try to get to this in the near future. Currently, our priority is ironing out issues with existing features, particularly user authentication, upload, and GPT-4-vision. But I agree that this would be a good feature to bring this app to feature parity with other RAG solutions.
