Saving conversation memory in the graph

The simplest chat message history strategy is save all of the messages in the database, exactly as they are. This implementation is simple to code, but the information can be difficult to extract reliably from longer conversations. For longer conversations, you'll also potentially have cost and latency issues due to the number of tokens being sent with each input.
