group chats

your agent is not taking group chats today. on 7 October we switched off the part that carries a group's messages to your agent, and a group message now goes unread rather than reaching it.

why are group chats paused?

so that everyone in a group gets a smaller set of tools than you do. in your private thread your agent acts for you. in a group, anyone can talk to it, so a group should get its own, narrower list, such as looking things up, and never your money, your files or your accounts. groups come back when your agent runs a group's conversation with that narrower list.

what happens if someone adds it to a group?

nothing reaches it. the group's messages are not read and nothing is sent back. your private thread with your agent is not affected.

when will groups be back?

when that work is done. we do not put a date on it here, because a date on a docs page outlives the plan it came from. this page changes the day groups are back.

what next

• channels, the places you can talk to your agent
• privacy and your data, where what it remembers lives
• spending and approvals, why money never moves from a group
