How to retain conversation history as context for Bedrock agent after current session expires

Hello,

To retain the conversation context of an Amazon Bedrock agent after the session expires, you can use session state attributes. There are two types of session state attributes:

• SessionAttributes
• PromtSessionAttributes

Refer the below link for more info https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock/latest/userguide/agents-session-state.html

Additionally, you can view the conversation history by enabling tracing for the InvokeAgent call. The trace tracks the agent's actions, queries and observations at each step, including context passed between prompts.****

Hi,

You may want to read this deck of this presentation of last re:Invent: Build a WebSocket API with conversation history for Amazon Bedrock

The deck is here: https://d1.awsstatic.com/events/Summits/reinvent2023/FWM311_Build-a-WebSocket-API-with-conversation-history-for-Amazon-Bedrock.pdf

Also, read in depth this blog post. It shows how to store conversations for agends in DynamoDB: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/build-generative-ai-agents-with-amazon-bedrock-amazon-dynamodb-amazon-kendra-amazon-lex-and-langchain/
