Some conversations are better with more than two people in them. A group chat puts two or three AI companions in the same conversation with you. They answer you, react to each other, and each keeps their own personality: the optimist, the skeptic, the one who always brings up food.
What you can do in a group chat
- Get more than one perspective. Ask a question and hear a few different takes: Theo cheering you on, Noah asking the careful question, Maya breaking the problem into steps.
- Run a scene with a cast. A detective and a suspect. Two rival chefs. A road trip with a friend who can't read a map.
- Hang out. Sometimes it's just nice to have a lively chat with friends who are happy to see you.
How to start one
- Sign in and open Group chats.
- Choose two or three of your companions. (The Free plan has one companion; Plus has three and Pro ten, so group chats start with Plus.)
- Give the group a name and, if you like, a topic: "planning a trip to Lisbon", "book club", "the haunted lighthouse". Everyone stays on it.
- Say hello. A message to everyone gets an answer from the group; name one or two of them to hear from just those.
You can have up to 20 group chats, each with its own conversation, alongside your one-to-one chats.
Ideas for group chats
- Study group: one friend quizzes you, another explains it a different way.
- Debate night: pick a fun topic ("is a hot dog a sandwich?") and let them argue.
- Mystery party: two companions play suspects; you're the detective.
- Decision helper: "Should I take the job in Toronto?" Hear the case for and against.
- Language table: practise a language with two companions at once (turn on language practice in each chat).
- Celebration: share good news and let everyone make a fuss.
Tips
- Mix personalities. Groups work best when the companions are different. Pair someone calm with someone energetic.
- Use names to direct a question: "Kai, what do you think?"
- Set a topic when you want a focused conversation, and change it when you want to move on.
Group chats and one-to-one chats
Your one-to-one chat with each companion stays separate and private, with its own memories. Group chats are their own conversations. If something important comes up in a group, mention it in your one-to-one chat too, or save it as a memory there.
Group chats use companions you already chat with, so you need at least two: that means Plus or Pro. Start with a free account to meet your first companion, and upgrade when you want to bring a group together.
