change memory for ai agent documentation

[windmill-internal-app]

/ai we changed messages_context_length for ai agent. now it is memory, which can be either auto or manual. auto let's windmill handle the memory for the user, up to the specified N last messages, manual let's the user provide the messages history himself. The type format for each message is the one from OpenAI pub struct OpenAIMessage { pub role: String, #[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")] pub content: Option, #[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")] pub tool_calls: Option<Vec>, #[serde(skip_serializing_if = "Option::is_none")] pub tool_call_id: Option, }. Make that change in the doc. Request made by @centdix

Todo List:

• Search for AI agent documentation files
• Find references to messages_context_length
• Update documentation with new memory field and auto/manual modes
• Include OpenAI message format details
• Commit and push changes
• Create PR if needed

Completed

I've successfully updated the AI agent documentation to reflect the new memory configuration:

1. Main documentation update (docs/core_concepts/54_ai_agents/index.mdx):

   • Replaced messages_context_length (number) with memory (auto | manual)
   • Added clear documentation for auto mode (Windmill handles memory up to N last messages)
   • Added manual mode documentation with OpenAI message format structure
   • Updated all references throughout the document

2. Changelog update (changelog/2025-10-06-ai-agent-chat-mode/index.md):

   • Updated the feature description to mention the new memory configuration with auto and manual modes

The documentation now clearly explains that:

• Auto mode: Windmill automatically manages conversation memory
• Manual mode: Users provide message history in the OpenAI format with role, content, tool_calls, and tool_call_id fields
