Dynamic Chat Ordering Based on Recent Activity

[arjxn-py]

Feature description

Currently, the chat ordering is only updated when the page is (re-)loaded. To improve the user experience, we want to dynamically reorder chats based on recent activity. Specifically, when a user interacts with an old chat by asking a new question, that chat should automatically move to the top of the list. This dynamic reordering should happen in real-time, ensuring that the most recently active chats are always easily accessible without requiring a page reload.

Value and/or benefit

• Enhances user experience by keeping active and relevant chats easily accessible.
• Reduces the need for manual page reloads to see updated chat order.
• Streamlines interaction by automatically surfacing the most recent activity.
