Group "Ask User" Interactions into Chat-like Conversations for Better Session Context

[iwangbowen]

Currently, each "Ask User" interaction is displayed as a separate card in the list, which makes it difficult for users to recognize them as part of the same session. We propose implementing a chat-style interface that groups these interactions or aggregates them by session, with questions and responses clearly paired in a conversational layout. This would provide a more intuitive flow and significantly improve the readability of multi-turn dialogues.

It's difficult to tell they belong to the same session

I tried this approach but, unfortunately, currently there's not a safe way of getting the chat session who called the tool. I must trust on the LLM to pass it, but testing shows that this doesn't work every time, specially with cheaper models.

I'll leve this open, though, because I'm trying to figure out a way of make it safely work.
