What is the best practice for session state assurance and loading

[tianshangwuyun]

When using FastAPI+Autogen for multiple rounds of conversations, do we need to load historical conversations by saving the state for subsequent requests, or do we need to obtain historical conversations separately from other sources (if so, how does the multi-agent contribute to the conversation)? Should we save the state （call save_state function） every time and then load it ，or other method

You can use save_state and load_state to achieve persistent session if your agents and teams are created exactly the same way. We are currently working on component config that make it possible to also use a JSON configuration to specify the agent and team, and create them -- it's a work in progress.
