chat session

Real-time text exchange

A chat session is a single continuous exchange of messages between participants in a text-based conversation, whether between humans, with an AI, or in a customer service window.

The session begins when the conversation opens and ends when it's closed or times out: I'll start a new chat session to get a fresh context.

In technical contexts, it may refer to the data structure storing that conversation's history.
