New Feature - Import exported conversations
Okay, you're probably thinking "Why wasn't that in there?" Well... :D Cause I wanted to get my BYOK version out. Thanks to @eclecti_build for giving me a push on this. I was planning to build this feature at some point. However, their suggestion that they might export personal conversations from a professional account moved it to the front of the list. You can export conversations as json files, then point to either a specific file or a directory and import any lode conversations in that directory. I also acquired a domain for this project: lodemine.org There isn't anything there yet, but the support email has been updated to [email protected]

This is too good for people to understand how good it is haha. I'm looking forward to using this to extract my personal stuff from my work GPT domain
@eclecti_build Thank you for the kind words! What an awesome use case!
@bitbrainresearch I will let you know how it does for me when I do it, should be this week or the following
I'm so glad to launch this version. It has the main feature: Bring Your Own Key chat with your conversations AND an API to the RAG system so you can use it with any agent!
