I’m really curious about this experiment.What jumps out at me from the article isn’t just “group chat with an AI,” it’s shared context plus shared memory of the convo for a small group of humans who are trying to get something done together.A few things I’m noticing:
- Group chats sit in their own section of the sidebar, and they’re separate from your 1:1 chats. Your personal memory doesn’t leak into the group, and the group doesn’t write to your memory either, at least in this first version.
