    Yep. We had to do a surprising amount of work to solve this in our product: https://www.kitewing.ai/blog/stateless-agents-stateful-produ...

    Very weird that the foundational LLM companies' own chat pages don't do this.

    No mention of ChatGPT? Anyone else have this problem:

    Go to ChatGPT.com while logged in, start typing right away, 8 words into typing it clears the text in the form. Why?

      Claude also has odd UI/UX bugs in what is almost literally a single page web application.

    t3.chat solves this pretty well. I believe they utilize convex db. I think it’s something like a backend server process is the true connection and state of the chat. The front end syncs and receives updates from it.

    It is honestly shocking how sloppy (pun intended) a lot of the online chatbot UIs are.
