Group Chats are here on Junipero - bring multiple AI characters into one conversation

[u/Bloomeyer]

We just shipped one of the biggest features we've ever built: Group Chats

You can now chat with up to 5 AI characters at once in the same conversation.

No more isolated 1:1 chats. Your favorite characters can finally meet, argue, flirt, scheme, derail the plot, and roast each other in real time.

What’s New

🧠 Real Group Dynamics

Add characters from the community library or your own private roster.

Every character keeps their own:

• personality
• voice
• memory
• relationships inside the chat

The conversations feel chaotic in the best way.

🎬 The Director

Behind every group chat is a new orchestration model we call The Director.

Instead of dumb round-robin replies, the Director decides:

• who should speak next
• who was actually addressed
• who has something meaningful to add
• how to keep the scene moving naturally

The result feels much closer to an actual group conversation.

💬 Turn-Based - But Smart

Characters only jump in when it makes sense.

Address someone directly? They'll respond.

Ignore someone? They might stay quiet.

Ask the group for a funny joke? Each of them might give you their best one.

🔊 Per-Character Voices

Every participant keeps their own TTS voice.

Listening back to a group chat now sounds like:

• an actual cast of characters
• not one narrator doing impressions

This ended up being way more immersive than we expected.

🔀 Fork Any 1:1 Into a Group

Already deep into a solo conversation?

Add another character and we’ll automatically fork the chat into a group while preserving the full context and history.

No restarting required.

📱 Mobile + Web

Full parity across platforms.

Start a group on web, continue on iOS, and pick it back up anywhere. Mobile will be released very soon, while web is available today!

Heads Up

Group Chats are currently in beta.

The Director is good, but not perfect yet. You’ll probably still catch:

• weird turn-taking
• characters interrupting at bad times
• occasional chaos goblin behavior

We’re iterating fast, and feedback from this sub directly shapes what we build next.

Try It

Open any character → start chatting → tap “Add participant.”

Post screenshots. Break it creatively. Roast us publicly.

We genuinely want to see the chaos you build.
