With Group Chat, students can discuss ideas together and get targeted help from AI. As a teacher, you can create a chat with a custom name, an activity, and one or more groups from the same school. This gives collaboration a clear purpose, such as solving a problem together, comparing feedback, or checking an AI claim.

Open Groups, select a group, and expand Group Chats. Choose New chat, name the chat, and select the groups and activity. The group you opened is already selected; you can add up to twenty groups from the same school. Students can find all the group chats their group has been invited to on their dashboard, directly below Lessons.

The activity helps students keep thinking for themselves. In Solve together, for example, they first share an attempt of their own, ask for one hint, and then continue working independently. In Check AI, they verify an AI claim against the textbook or an independent source. To use a different activity, you can create a new chat so the conversation histories remain separate.

For each student, you decide whether they can make one AI request or keep access until you revoke it. When making a request, the user selects one to twenty messages: only those messages and the accompanying question are sent to AI. As a teacher, you can also pin up to five messages, such as assessment criteria or a shared conclusion.

Other teachers and administrators do not automatically get access to your chat. You can archive a conversation through Chat options and reopen it later. An archived chat remains readable to anyone with access, but does not accept new messages or AI requests. School policies and retention periods continue to apply.

Try Group Chat with a specific lesson activity: have students share their own ideas first, then work together to formulate one focused question for AI.
