### Lifespan of Cognigy.AI Objects

The lifespan of Cognigy.AI objects varies depending on their type:

- **Input** — each new user input and Flow execution generates a new Input object.
- **Context** — kept throughout the entire chat or call session.
- **Profile** — stored persistently to preserve information, such as user name, throughout conversations.
