Google AI Studio allows you to branch from a point in any conversation

This isn't quite the same as being able to edit an earlier post without discarding the subsequent ones, creating a context where the meaning of subsequent messages could be interpreted quite differently and leading to different responses later down the chain.

Ideally I'd like to be able to edit both my replies and the responses at any point like a linear document in managing an ongoing context.

Cherry Studio can do that, allows you to edit both your own and the model responses, but it requires API access.

But that's exactly what you can do with AI studio. You can edit any prior messages (then either just saving them at their place in the chat or rerunning them) and you can edit any response of the LLM. Also you can rerun queries within any part of the conversation without the following part of the conversation being deleted or branched

Ah - I appreciate the clarification! Apologies for my misunderstanding.

Guess that's something I need to check out.

Yeah, I think this is the best version of the branching interface I've seen.
