Hi @mamadoudicko! It's good to see you again. I hope you're doing well.

Based on the information provided, it seems like the chat input is designed to be emptied as soon as you submit a question. This behavior is defined in the submitQuestion function from the useChatInput hook. Here is the relevant part of the code:

const submitQuestion = () => {
  if (!generatingAnswer) {
    void addQuestion(message, () => setMessage(""));
  }
};

The addQuestion function is called with the current message and a callback function. The callback function () => setMessage("") is executed after the question is successfully added, which clears the chat input by setting the message state to an empty string. This is done to ensure that the input field is ready for the next user input.

As for the generatingAnswer variable, it is used as a condition to check if the system is currently generating an answer. If the system is not generating an answer (generatingAnswer is false), then the function addQuestion is called. This prevents the user from submitting a new question while the system is still processing the previous one.

You can find more details in the source code here:

• frontend/app/chat/[chatId]/components/ActionsBar/components/ChatInput/hooks/useChatInput.ts

I also found a similar issue that was resolved in the past:

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.

Best,
Dosu
