Groups

Pilot. Groups is switched on for a small number of accounts for now, and for people who are invited into a group. If it isn't on for your account, you won't see Groups in the sidebar.

Open Groups in the sidebar (on the phone app, the Groups button next to the menu). Start a group, or send someone a direct message. Anyone in the chat can write @Prompteryx and ask for a picture, a song, a video, a website, a document or a game, and it appears in the chat for everyone. Whoever asks pays from their own credits.

In a group

• @mentions: type @ to tag a member or @Prompteryx. People you mention get a notification, even if they muted the group.
• Edit on something @Prompteryx made: say what should change and it makes the next version of the same card.
• Share to a group: send anything from your main chat (pictures, video, audio, documents, replies) or a post from Explore to a group.
• Reactions with any emoji, and Markdown formatting in messages.
• Group settings: the group's name, description and colour, the model @Prompteryx uses for each kind of request (or Auto), mute, and how messages look.

Adding people

In the group, open People → Add members (on the phone: the group's info → Add members · invite link). There are three ways:

• People you know on Prompteryx: people you already share a chat with. Pick them and they are added.
• Group invite link: one link per group, the same every time. Copy it, or press Share on WhatsApp to send it straight to a WhatsApp chat (on the phone, the share sheet opens if WhatsApp isn't installed).
• By e-mail: type their e-mail address and press Invite.

People you don't share a chat with are never added directly: they get the link or an e-mail invitation and join themselves. Blocking hides a person either way.

The invite link and the join page

• Admins can Reset the link: the old one stops working at once. A new link can have an expiry, from 1 hour to 30 days, or none.
• Someone who opens the link sees a join page with only the group's name, its avatar, the first name of the person who invited them and how many members it has. They press Join with Google (or Sign in if they already have an account) and land in the group.
• If the link was reset or has expired, the page says so and asks them to get a new one.
• On a phone with the Prompteryx app, the link opens the app's own join screen.
• Groups are for people aged 18 and over. Members see your name and what you write.

While Prompteryx is getting ready to open, someone new who signs up from an invite joins the waiting list first (see Plans, credits and top-ups).

Invite a friend to Prompteryx

The Invite a friend to Prompteryx button on the Groups page writes a short WhatsApp message with your referral link (or the sign-up page when referrals aren't available to you). See Refer a friend.
