Hi @bigrig

essentially you could be using namespaces or metadata with conversation IDs (or the convening group ID). All operations are contained on one namespace, so if you use namespaces there will not be any other filtering. If you use metadata you will query on some default namespace and use filters.

You might be interested in this: [Using namespaces vs. metadata filtering](https://community.pinecone.io/t/using-namespaces-vs-metadata-filtering/512)

Hope this helps
