Does HuntBot remember my previous questions?

HuntBot does not use long-term memory between conversations, but your chat history is saved in HuntCode so you can revisit previous sessions whenever you need. This means you can look back at past explanations, walkthroughs, or troubleshooting steps, but HuntBot itself does not learn from or reference those older conversations when generating new answers.

How HuntBot Handles Memory During a Session

While you are actively chatting, HuntBot keeps a short-term context window. This helps it stay aware of the topic you're discussing and provide more accurate follow-up answers.

• Short-term context: HuntBot remembers recent messages during your active session.
• Better follow-ups: You can say things like “explain that again” and it knows what “that” refers to.
• Auto-reset: When you start a new chat or refresh the page, this temporary memory resets.

Your Conversations Are Saved for You — Not for HuntBot

HuntCode automatically saves your past conversations, allowing you to return to previous chats at any time. This is for your convenience only. These older chats are not used as input for new responses and do not influence how HuntBot behaves.

• Saved history: You can scroll through or reopen old chats.
• No learning from past chats: HuntBot does not reuse or store your old messages for future reasoning.
• Fresh session behavior: Each new chat starts with a clean slate.

How HuntBot Uses RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)

Instead of relying on long-term memory, HuntBot uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with OpenSearch. This allows it to pull relevant content from HuntCode’s lessons, labs, FAQs, and documentation each time you ask a question.

• Trigger words: HuntBot identifies key terms in your question (“Nmap”, “IAM”, “incident response”).
• Targeted retrieval: It fetches the most relevant passages from the HuntCode ecosystem.
• No dependency on past chats: RAG ensures answers are accurate without relying on memory.

Why HuntBot Works This Way

This design provides the best balance between privacy, accuracy, and reliability. HuntBot does not store personal details or learn from your chat history, but it still gives helpful, context-aware responses during each session.

• Improved privacy: No personal memory is kept between chats.
• Consistent accuracy: Each response uses fresh RAG-based context.
• Convenient history: Your saved chats are available for review anytime.

If you want HuntBot to consider something specific during a session, include that detail in your message so it can use it in real time.
