Agent conversations are usually private, and then occasionally they are the exact thing you need a second opinion on. Rather than screenshotting it into a group chat, you can invite the other person into the conversation itself.
- Invite them by emailThey get an invitation to that one conversation. It grants access to nothing else in your account.
- They join and can replyGuests are participants, not spectators. Everyone can see who joined, as a row in the conversation itself.
- Remove them when it is doneRevoking an invitation ends their access immediately. They can also leave on their own.
Both of you can drive
A guest is not a spectator with a comment box. Everyone in the conversation can instruct the agent, and there is one conversation rather than a copy each — the same history, the same tool calls, the same results, arriving for everyone as they happen.
- What one person asks for, the other watches the agent do. No screenshots, no "hang on, let me paste it".
- Messages are attributed, so it is always clear who asked for what — including when someone changes the conversation mode.
- Either of you can pick the work up later. A conversation two people have been in is still there for both of them.
Agent mode and Group mode
Once there are two people in a conversation, "who is this message for" stops being obvious — and an agent that answers every human aside is exhausting. The mode control settles it, for everyone in the chat at once.
- Agent
- The default. The agent replies to what you send, the way it does in a conversation of one.
- Group
- The agent replies only when you @mention it. You and your colleague talk normally, and pull it in when you want it.
A mentioned agent can read the discussion it missed, so you do not have to summarise the argument you just had before asking it to act on the conclusion.
