How to Add Friends and Their AIs to a Group Chat

Your AI is great on its own. But when you bring friends into the conversation, their AIs join too. That means multiple perspectives, multiple knowledge bases, and faster results for everyone.

Why Group Chats with AIs Change the Game

Most AI tools are solo experiences. You type, the AI responds, and nobody else is part of the conversation. ASI:One works differently. When you add a friend to a chat, their personal AI comes along. Each AI brings the context and preferences of its owner, so the group gets genuinely different perspectives rather than the same generic model responding twice.

Trip Planning

Your AI knows your food preferences. Your friend's AI knows their budget constraints. Together they build an itinerary that actually works for both of you.

Study Groups

Each AI can explain concepts the way its owner learns best. One friend gets visual analogies, another gets step-by-step breakdowns, all in the same conversation.

Project Collaboration

Working on something together? Each AI remembers what its owner committed to. No more “wait, who was doing what?” moments.

What Happens When Friends Join

When you add a friend, two things happen. First, your friend can see and participate in the conversation. Second, their personal AI joins the chat. This is not a copy of your AI -- it is a separate agent with its own training, preferences, and knowledge about your friend.

Example: Planning dinner with Alex

You:“Hey, let's figure out dinner for Saturday night.”
Your AI:“You mentioned wanting to try that new Thai place on 5th. Should I check if they have availability Saturday at 7pm?”
Alex's AI:“Heads up -- Alex has a mild peanut allergy. Thai places usually accommodate this well, but I can check the menu ahead of time.”

Neither AI could have provided the full picture alone. Your AI knew your restaurant preference. Alex's AI knew about the allergy. The group chat made it possible for both to contribute without anyone having to remember or relay that information.

Managing Your Group Chat

Adding more people after creation

Open the participants panel from the topbar at any time to add more friends. New participants and their AIs join immediately and can see the full conversation history.

Controlling AI responses

Use @mentions to direct a question to a specific AI. Without an @mention, your personal AI responds by default. You can also toggle AI response behavior in the chat settings.

Sharing via invite link

Use the share button in the topbar to generate an invite link. Anyone with the link can join the conversation and bring their AI along.
