When to Use Group Chat
- Cross-project questions: “How does the frontend authentication relate to the backend API?”
- Architecture discussions: Get perspectives from agents with different codebase contexts
- Comparative analysis: “Compare the testing approach in these three repositories”
- Knowledge synthesis: Combine expertise from specialized agents
How It Works
- Create a Group Chat from the sidebar menu
- Add participants by @mentioning agent names (e.g.,
@Frontend,@Backend) - Send your question - the moderator receives it first
- Moderator coordinates - routes to relevant agents via @mentions
- Agents respond - each agent works in their own project context
- Moderator synthesizes - combines responses into a coherent answer
The Moderator’s Role
The moderator is an AI that controls the conversation flow:- Direct answers: For simple questions, the moderator responds directly
- Delegation: For complex questions, @mentions the appropriate agents
- Follow-up: If agent responses are incomplete, keeps asking until satisfied
- Synthesis: Combines multiple agent perspectives into a final answer

Tips for Effective Group Chats
- Name agents descriptively - Agent names appear in the chat, so “Frontend-React” is clearer than “Agent1”
- Be specific in questions - The more context you provide, the better the moderator can route
- @mention explicitly - You can direct questions to specific agents: “What does @Backend think?”
- Let the moderator work - It may take multiple rounds for complex questions
