#How to provide context information to a chat without triggering a reply to the user

Is there a way to prevent the Chat Completion API to send an Reply text? in some situations I only want to give information to the assistant (list of participants in a meeting), in order to give better answers on subsequent questions. When I send a prompt "There is a list of participants: X, , Y, Z. Don't reply, just take this information to provide better answers later". I still get a reply, even if it is just "[not providing a reply as instructed]". The only workaround I found was to say at the end "replace all characters of your reply with white spaces" but this works not in all conditions. I also am using system messages, but they still trigger a reply.

You'll just want to store that info locally in the messages array and not send a request until you need to
