Conversations

ELITEA Chat is an ultimate feature, allowing you to combine all ELITEA features in one place and achieve the best output and results.

In the ELITEA framework, a conversation is a dialogue among various participants such as selected language models, prompts, datasources, agents, and human users. The chat uses natural language to interact with a human and receive/give feedback. Within one conversation, you can refer to previous questions and answers. However, different conversations don’t share context.

All your conversations are stored on the ELITEA server, and you can access them from any device you use. All your conversations are accessible from the Chat menu.

Conversations support the following functionality:

  • Public and Private Conversations: Share your conversation with other users from your project, involve them in the same conversation, or keep it private and visible only to you.
  • Participants: Add various participants to the conversation, including other users in public conversations, prompts, data sources, agents, and language models, making them part of the conversation.
  • Interactions: Interact with added participants, copy generated responses, and more.
  • Managing Conversations: Save conversations, pin the most important ones at the top of the screen, make private conversations public, delete conversations, clean the content of the conversation, and export the context of the conversation.
  • Folders: Organize your conversations into folders for better management. You can create folders, move conversations to folders, edit folder names, or delete folders.
  • Playback: During playback, you can move backward and forward through the playback process or stop the conversation by simulating the current conversation without any engagement with models.

If you are part of a team project:

  • You can view all folders within the project.
  • You can only see conversations inside folders if you are a member of those conversations.
  • If you are a member of a conversation, you can move the conversation into a folder or remove it from the folder using the Back to the list option.
  • You cannot delete a folder created by others, but you can move conversations inside the folder if you are a member of those conversations.

Public Conversations and Folders

  • Public folders are accessible to all members of the project.
  • Conversations within public folders can be viewed and interacted with by all project members.
  • Any member of the project can move conversations into public folders or remove them, depending on their permissions.
  • Public folders cannot be converted to private folders.
