Fix Action

Fix / Workaround

Dispatch should have a 'New Conversation' button that starts a fresh context window, similar to how Cowork allows creating new sessions. Long-running Dispatch conversations hit context limits with no way to reset.

add a way to explicitly reset Dispatch after a context window is approaching. Dispatch already informs you, but cannot create a new context for itself and the only suggested workaround is "wait - this session's context will eventually expire/reset on its own."

TL;DR

Adding a 'New Conversation' button to Dispatch could resolve the issue by allowing users to start a fresh context window.

Guidance

  • Investigate the feasibility of implementing a 'New Conversation' button in Dispatch, similar to Cowork's new session feature.
  • Consider the context limits and how they can be reset or managed to prevent long-running conversations from hitting these limits.
  • Evaluate the current workaround of waiting for the session's context to expire/reset and determine if a more immediate solution is necessary.
  • Review the configuration and settings of Dispatch to see if there are any existing options that could be leveraged to achieve the desired functionality.

Notes

The lack of additional context and use case examples makes it difficult to provide a more detailed solution. Further discussion and clarification on the requirements and constraints of the Dispatch system would be necessary to provide a more comprehensive fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a 'New Conversation' button or finding an alternative solution to reset the context window would be the most direct way to address the issue, given the critical priority and blocking nature of the problem.
