Lesson 2: Strategies for Memory and Context Preservation

Effective techniques can help maintain clarity and relevance when interacting with AI over extended exchanges.

Preserving context over long conversations requires deliberate techniques to "anchor" information for the AI. This can be achieved by restating critical details periodically, crafting prompts that reference earlier exchanges, or using explicit instructions to guide the AI. For example, rather than saying, "What's next?" in an ongoing project discussion, a more effective prompt would be, "Based on our previous discussion about the project's timeline, what is the next milestone to address?" These strategies ensure the AI can provide accurate, context-aware responses, making long conversations more productive and seamless. Practical exercises to test and refine these techniques can further enhance user-AI interactions
