`responses` corrupts previous conversations `assistant` item

Thank you for your suggestions.

What I have ended up doing is not sending assistant messages to be stored using the Conversations and instead sending them with prompts to just “reply with the message” via Responses. A bit hacky but doesn’t seem to slow things down too much.

I will still use the Conversations endpoint to store message. I don’t always need a response for each message in the conversations, and for user roles, it’s still a pretty good place to store context.

I would be happy to learn more about how others are building chat apps. So far, what I’ve built seem to work very well within our context, but I’m always keen to learn more. Got any suggestions on where I should look?
