 The **AskAsync** and **AskStreamAsync** (see below) methods provides overloads that require a *conversationId* parameter. If we pass an empty value, a random one is generated and returned.
 We can pass this value in subsequent invocations of **AskAsync** or **AskStreamAsync**, so that the library automatically retrieves previous messages of the current conversation (according to *MessageLimit* and *MessageExpiration* settings) and send them to chat completion API.

+This is the default behavior for all the chat interactions. If you want to exlude a particular interaction from the conversation history, you can set the *addToConversationHistory* argument to *false*:
 
 ```csharp
-var response = await chatGptClient.AskAsync(conversationId, message, addToChatHistory: false);
+var response = await chatGptClient.AskAsync(conversationId, message, addToConversationHistory: false);
 ```
 
 In this way, the message will be sent to the chat completion API, but it and the corresponding answer from ChatGPT will not be added to the conversation history.
 
+On the other hand, in some scenarios, it could be useful to manually add a chat interaction (i.e., a question followed by an answer) to the conversation history. For example, we may want to add a message that was generated by a bot. In this case, we can use the **AddInteractionAsync** method:
+
+```csharp
+await chatGptClient.AskInteractionAsync(conversationId, question: "What is the weather like in Taggia?",
+    answer: "It's Always Sunny in Taggia");
+```
+
+The question will be added as *user* message and the answer will be added as *assistant* message in the conversation history. As always, these new messages (respecting the *MessageLimit* option) will be used in subsequent invocations of **AskAsync** or **AskStreamAsync**.
+
 ### Response streaming
 
 Chat completion API supports response streaming. When using this feature, partial message deltas will be sent, like in ChatGPT. Tokens will be sent as data-only server-sent events as they become available. **ChatGptNet** provides response streaming using the **AskStreamAsync** method:
