Why @mentions Make Multi-AI Chats Feel Natural

A friendly tour of how you can nudge Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini with simple commands—no tech wizardry required.

When we set out to unify Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini, we wanted the controls to feel as easy as chatting with friends. Instead of throwing sliders and toggles at you, we leaned into something everyone already understands: @mentions.

Pick the voices you want

  • Talk to one expert. Typing @claude or @gemini is like locking eyes with that model. Your next untargeted messages go to them automatically until you change it.
  • Hear multiple opinions. Send @all when you want a rapid-fire panel discussion, or @others when you’d like everyone but the current speaker to weigh in.
  • Bring in a specialist. /welcome designer instantly drops your custom agent into the conversation. /dismiss grok politely shows someone the door when you’re done.

Catch up in seconds

@secretary is the quiet helper who listens to everything and gives you a tidy recap whenever you ask. It keeps the conversation fresh without forcing you to reread dozens of bubbles.

Why it matters

  • You stay in the flow—no menus, no guesswork.
  • Your plan stays on budget because only the models you invite into a message respond.
  • Conversations feel human: you can talk to one advisor, call a quick round-table, or grab a summary without leaving the chat box.

Simple language. Smarter collaboration. That’s the magic behind @mentions in Round Table AI.
