PROBLEM:
When a conversation reaches the context window limit, the session ends
abruptly without any prior warning. This is especially frustrating for
premium paid users who expect a reliable and seamless experience.
There is currently no indication of how close a conversation is to
hitting its limit, leaving users with no opportunity to save their
progress or prepare for a new session.
PROPOSED SOLUTION:
1. PROGRESS INDICATOR
Display a visible usage indicator (e.g. a progress bar or percentage)
showing how much of the conversation limit has been consumed.
This should be visible at all times during an active conversation.
2. PROACTIVE WARNINGS
Notify the user at key thresholds (e.g. 75%, 90%) with a clear
message such as:
"You are approaching your conversation limit. We recommend
saving a summary to continue seamlessly in a new chat."
3. AUTO-SUMMARY + COPY FEATURE
When the limit is near (or reached), the AI should automatically
generate a concise, accurate summary of the entire conversation.
This summary should be:
- Displayed clearly to the user
- Easy to copy with a single click ("Copy Summary" button)
- Formatted so it can be pasted into a new chat as a
continuation prompt
4. ONE-CLICK "SAVE & CONTINUE" BUTTON
A dedicated button that:
- Generates the summary
- Copies it to the clipboard
- Opens a new chat window
- Pre-populates it with the summary so the user can continue
without interruption
5. LOCAL CONVERSATION HISTORY (OPTIONAL ENHANCEMENT)
Allow users to optionally save conversation summaries or full
transcripts locally on their device (not on the server), keeping
data private and in line with Brave's core privacy values.
Users should be able to browse past saved conversations and
reload a summary to resume from where they left off.
WHY THIS MATTERS:
- Premium users are paying for a reliable experience. Being cut off
without warning is a poor user experience that does not reflect
the quality expected of a paid tier.
- This feature respects Brave's privacy-first philosophy by keeping
saved history on-device rather than on servers.
- It reduces server memory usage by encouraging clean session
handoffs rather than indefinitely long conversations.
- It empowers users to maintain continuity across sessions without
relying on the server to store their full history.
PRIORITY SUGGESTION: High (especially for Premium tier users) but can be for everyone
