New sessions are automatically titled, described, and tagged in the background — no manual trigger required.Sessions Now Auto-Summarize After Ingest
Sessions ingested into ReclaimLLM now receive a title, description, and tags automatically. Previously this required an explicit API call after ingest. That endpoint still exists, but you no longer need to call it.What to Expect
After a session is ingested, a background task wakes periodically, picks up any untitled sessions, and generates summaries via Azure OpenAI. The default interval is 5 minutes, so titles typically appear within a few minutes of ingest under normal load. Duplicate sessions — those with identical blob content — are detected and cleaned up in the same pass. Only one copy is kept and summarized; the rest are dropped without making any OpenAI calls.Limitations
- Latency is interval-bound, not ingest-bound. A session ingested right after a batch run will wait up to the full interval before being summarized. If you need a title immediately, the on-demand summarize endpoint is still available.
- Backlog drains linearly. After an outage or first deploy, a large backlog of untitled sessions clears at a fixed batch size per cycle. Expect a few cycles before everything is titled.
- OpenAI outages delay summaries, not ingests. If Azure OpenAI is unavailable, sessions continue to ingest normally. Summarization resumes automatically once the service recovers — no data is lost.
