Message Management

Message management components handle the storage and retrieval of chat messages and conversation history.

Message Store

This component stores chat messages or text in BroxiAI tables or external memory.

In this example, the Message Store component stores the complete chat history in a local BroxiAI table, which the Message History component retrieves as context for the LLM to answer each question.
