Group Chat

Collaborate with team members and multiple agents in chat threads.

Group Chat is currently in beta.

Group Chat lets you invite team members into any chat thread so multiple people can interact with AI agents in the same conversation. All participants see the full message history, including messages sent before they joined.

Features

• Invite project members to a thread with @mention
• All participants share the full history, including pre-join messages
• Use multiple agents in the same thread
• Real-time typing indicators
• Blue dot in sidebar for unread threads
• Filter threads by unread mentions using the Unread filter button
• Thread owner can rename or delete the thread

How to Use

Invite a Member to a Thread

1. Open any chat thread

2. Type @ in the message input

3. Select a person from the dropdown — the list is organized into Agents, People, and Documents sections

   

4. Send the message — the person is added immediately

   

View Thread Members

Click the member avatars in the top-right corner of the thread to open the Thread members dialog. You can search for and add more members from this dialog.

Typing Indicator

When another participant is composing a message, their name and an animated ”…” indicator appear.

Filter Threads

Use the Unread filter button at the top of the thread list to show only threads with unread messages. This helps you quickly find conversations that need your attention.

The Unread filter requires the group_chat feature flag to be enabled.

Leave a Thread

1. Click … in the top-right corner of the thread header
2. Select Leave thread
3. Click Leave to confirm

After leaving, the thread is removed from your sidebar and you no longer receive messages from it.

Agent Behavior

Triggered by @Mention

In group chat, agents respond when @mentioned. Type @agent-name in your message to direct it to a specific agent.

Multiple Agents

You can have multiple agents participate in the same group chat. For example, ask Code Agent to analyze code while having Web Search research the latest information.

Shared Context

Agents are aware of the full chat history and participant information:

• Who said what
• Which members are in the thread
• Context from past interactions

Responses are generated based on this shared context.

How Responses Work

Group chat operates on a message basis, not turn-based. The @mentioned agent generates a response, while unmentioned agents remain idle. You can mention multiple agents in the same message.
