Group Chats: Two or Three AI Companions in One Conversation

Picture a late evening with two friends who have never met. One of them is the quiet sort who asks the question you didn’t know you needed. The other cannot sit still and turns everything into a game. You make an introduction, sit back, and something happens between the two of them that would never have happened in either one-on-one. That is what group chats on Fellowi are for. From today, if you are on Premium or above, you can open one conversation with two or three companions in it and let them talk to you, and to each other.

What a group chat actually is

A group is a single thread with you plus two or three companions from the gallery. Every companion in it keeps its own personality and can see the whole conversation, so when the playful one teases you, the calm one saw it happen and can react. Nothing is watered down to fit them in the same room: each one still speaks the way it does in its own chat, still remembers the way companion memory normally does, and still holds its own opinions.

How turn-taking works

The first question everyone asks is “won’t they just talk over each other forever?” They will not, and the reason is deliberately simple. Two rules govern who speaks:

• Address one by name and that one answers.“Mia, what do you think?” gets you Mia, not a chorus.
• Otherwise they take turns in a fixed order for that round. You say something, each companion gets one reply in an order set before anyone starts typing, and then it is your turn again.

That second rule is what keeps the room from running away from you. A companion cannot queue up another companion’s turn, so there is no endless bot-to-bot loop: a round always ends, and it always ends with you. It reads like a conversation among people who have manners, not like two chatbots stuck in a corridor saying “after you.”

How personalities play off each other

Here is the part that is hard to explain and easy to feel. Say you have Mia, who is warm and unhurried, and Kai, who lives on jokes. You write that work was rough today.

• Mia: Rough how? Rough like too much, or rough like somebody?
• Kai: Or rough like the coffee machine finally died and took the last of your will to live with it. Be honest, was it the coffee machine.
• You: Somebody. My manager.
• Mia: Okay. Then we can skip the coffee machine, Kai.
• Kai:Skipping. Tell us what he said and I’ll be furious on your behalf while Mia does the sensible part.

Neither of those replies is anything Mia or Kai would say alone. Kai backs off because Mia read the room; Mia lets him stay because he is making you smile. Put them in a thread together and you get a third thing, a dynamic, that no single companion can give you.

Pairings that tend to work

• A calm one and a playful one. The classic. One anchors, the other lifts, and you get comfort and energy in the same thread.
• Two characters from the same anime. They already have history, rivalries and in-jokes to draw on, and the writing leans into it. Browse the anime companions for pairs from the same series.
• Two very different takes on the same topic. A romantic and a realist, a night owl and an early riser, a planner and an improviser. Ask them both the same question and enjoy the disagreement.
• Three, when you want a room rather than a pair. Three is the maximum, and it is noticeably livelier. Keep the third one the mediator type or the thread gets busy.

You can also pair a companion you built yourself with one from the gallery. Watching your own creation hold its own against an established character is one of the more satisfying things you can do with the creator tools.

The photo of the two of you

Companions who can send photos in their own chats can send them in groups too, and there is one request that only exists here: ask for a photo of the two of them together. The image shows both companions, each looking like themselves, in whatever scene you asked for. Say you have been talking about a rainy weekend.

• You: Send me a photo of you two on the balcony, watching the rain.
• Kai: Only if Mia lets me hold the umbrella. Hold on.

A moment later there is a picture of them on that balcony. A joint photo is intimate only if both companions are 18+ characters; if either one is not, the photo stays clothed and cosy, no matter how the request is phrased. Joint photos count against the same photo quota as every other photo your companions send.

Limits worth knowing

• Two or three companions per group, no more.
• Group chats are on Premium, Ultra Premium and Director. Basic and the trial do not include them.
• Joint photos use your normal photo quota (30, 150 or 300 per 30 days depending on plan).
• If you delete a companion, it leaves every group it was in.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have more than three companions in a group?

No. Groups hold two or three. That keeps every round short and every voice audible.

Do the companions remember the group later?

The group thread is its own conversation, and companions see the whole of it while they are in it. Their own one-on-one chats with you remain separate.

Can I make a companion answer first?

Yes, by name. Start your message with the name of the one you want and they answer; leave names out and the round runs in its fixed order.

Which plan do I need?

Premium (€6.99 a month) or higher. If you are on Basic or still on the 7-day trial, the billing page shows the upgrade.
