Remarks
This property is read-write. If the user context is saved, declarative statements that a user makes are retained (for example an active person is one who exercises five days a week). The most recent questions are also retained so that users can refer to them while asking additional question. For example, a user could ask "Show sales for 1997", and then follow it with questions such as "Include the products", and "Sort by month". The results would all be for the sales in 1997 without the user repeating the original question. Users can also ask follow-up questions with pronoun references and ellipses (for example, "Who is the oldest salesperson" followed by "How much did he make" "Show sales in the Los Angeles branch", or "New York").
