Chat History: The conversation history is retrieved and made available for context, enabling the bot to provide coherent, continuous support.
Document Retriever: The user’s query is used to search connected knowledge sources or documentation, retrieving the most relevant information for the current question.

3. Dynamic Prompt Construction

Prompt Template: A dynamic prompt is assembled using several variables:
- {input}: The user’s latest message.
- {chat_history}: The ongoing conversation with the user.
- {context}: Knowledge snippets retrieved from internal sources.
