Context Window Limits in AI Assistants: How Do You Manage Extended Conversations?

I've been using AI assistants extensively for complex work, and I keep running into an interesting challenge - the context window limit. Once you hit that limit, you have to start a new chat and somehow maintain the thread of your previous discussion.

I'm curious how others handle this, especially when working on complex technical problems or research that requires extended back-and-forth with the AI.

If you regularly use AI assistants:

  • How does hitting the context limit affect your workflow?
  • Have you found any effective ways to maintain continuity between sessions?
  • What would make this process smoother for you?

I'm particularly interested in hearing from researchers and professionals who rely on extended AI interactions. The technical limitation is clear, but I'm more interested in understanding how it impacts your actual work and thought process. Looking forward to hearing about your experiences and approaches.
