Quick answer: Use two or three companions with distinct roles, one shared objective and a turn structure that gives each character a reason to contribute. Decide memory scope separately for every companion before the group begins.
Secrets AI currently documents group chats with up to three companions, subject to tier limits. Multi-character scenes work best when the group has a task. A room full of personalities with no purpose often becomes repetitive or chaotic.
Eight group scenarios with a clear shared task
Each scenario gives the companions distinct reasons to speak. Keep the objective visible so the group does not become a sequence of unrelated reactions.
The planning committee
Assign one companion to generate ideas, one to identify risks and one to make the final synthesis. The user chooses the plan. This scenario reveals differences without requiring conflict.
The expedition team. Use a specialist, a cautious leader and a local guide. Give the team limited time or resources. Each role should control different information so no single companion can solve everything.
The creative review panel
Present a fictional design, story or event plan. One character focuses on emotion, one on practicality and one on originality. Ask them to respond to each other, not only to the user.
The reunion with unequal histories. Two companions know the user from different contexts. A third is new. Decide which memories are shared and which remain private. The tension comes from perspective, not manufactured hostility.
The mystery interview
Each companion witnessed a different part of an event. Their accounts may be incomplete rather than dishonest. The user compares details and asks follow-up questions.
The travel negotiation. Each character values a different part of the trip: safety, novelty or comfort. The group must agree on one route. This tests compromise and balanced initiative.
The collaborative rescue
Give each companion one capability and one limitation. The group succeeds only by combining strengths. Avoid assigning one character every important skill.
The debate with a shared goal. Characters disagree about method but want the same outcome. This prevents the debate from becoming personal and creates a natural resolution.
Assign one function to each companion
Distinct personalities are not enough. Give each character information, authority or responsibility the others lack. This reduces duplicated replies.
Control participation explicitly. Ask for one response from each companion or direct a question to a named member. Use OOC guidance when the group loses focus. The official group-chat documentation says companions can respond to the user and to one another based on context.

Choose memory per companion
Secrets AI documents private memory as the default and allows a companion to be linked to an existing Memory Group. The setting is per companion, not one setting for the whole group. Once a Memory Group is assigned to a companion in an existing group, the official guide says it is locked.
Keep the cast small
Two companions are often easier to differentiate than three. Add a third only when it brings a new function. For one-on-one ideas, use the single-companion roleplay scenarios.
End with individual consequences. After the shared scene, decide what each companion learned or chose. A follow-up one-on-one chat can explore the result if its memory scope supports that continuity.
Review how to protect the main relationship timeline before linking group memories.
Introduce the cast with one-sentence responsibilities
At the start, state what each companion contributes and what the group must decide. This prevents three characters from offering the same reaction. Responsibilities can change later, but the initial structure gives the model a clear reason to differentiate voices.
Use conflict between methods, not identities. Let companions disagree about timing, evidence or priorities while sharing a goal. Personal hostility can overwhelm the task and make turn-taking repetitive. Method conflict produces choices the user can mediate without requiring one character to become a villain.
Pause for summaries at decision points
After several replies, ask one companion to summarize options and another to identify unresolved risks. A summary resets the shared context and makes the next user decision clearer. It also reveals whether each participant has maintained its assigned role.
Move private consequences to one-on-one chats. If a group decision affects one relationship deeply, continue that conversation separately. Use the appropriate Memory Group only when the private follow-up belongs to the same continuity. This keeps group scenes focused while allowing individual emotional consequences to receive enough space.
Common group-chat mistakes
Do not add characters merely because the feature allows them. Avoid giving every participant the same expertise or emotional role. Do not ask a broad question that encourages three nearly identical answers. Give the group a decision, direct some questions by name and summarize before the context becomes crowded.
If one companion dominates, narrow its responsibility rather than weakening its entire personality. If all companions become passive, add a deadline or assign the next decision.
Start with two companions, one objective and clearly different responsibilities.
