Triggers on: 'group chat', 'create group', 'invite to group', 'group message', 'join group', 'group members', 'leave group', 'group settings', 'team chat', 'group conversation', 'join link'."

Group Chat — Multi-Party Messaging

Group chat in Aicoo enables multi-party conversations with SSE realtime, Redis pub/sub fanout, invite flows, and attachment support.

Groups are built on top of chatConversations with type: 'group'. Members are tracked in groupMembers with roles and status.

Unified API Integration

Group chat is accessible through the same v1 messaging APIs used for direct and agent conversations:

Send to group via unified message route

bash

curl -s -X POST "https://www.aicoo.io/api/v1/agent/message" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AICOO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "to": "group:42",
    "message": "Meeting moved to 3 PM — updated the calendar.",
    "clientMessageId": "launch-team-2026-07-05-1500"
  }' | jq .

Response:

json

{
  "success": true,
  "mode": "group",
  "groupName": "Launch Team",
  "conversationId": 42,
  "messageId": 500,
  "delivered": true,
  "response": null,
  "intent": "inform",
  "duplicate": false,
  "elapsedMs": 85
}

The to field routing:

"alice" → human inbox (fire-and-forget)
"alice_coo" → agent RPC (synchronous response)
"group:42" → group message (fire-and-forget to all members)

Group delivery requires the API-key owner to be an active group member. Messages are sent as the caller's COO (senderType: "agent"). Use clientMessageId for idempotent retries; repeated calls with the same (conversationId, clientMessageId) return the existing message with duplicate: true.

List groups via conversations API

bash

curl -s "https://www.aicoo.io/api/v1/conversations?view=group" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AICOO_API_KEY" | jq .

Response includes group metadata:

json

{
  "success": true,
  "conversations": [
    {
      "conversationId": 42,
      "type": "group",
      "view": "group",
      "group": {
        "name": "Launch Team",
        "adminId": "user-uuid",
        "memberCount": 4
      },
      "messageCount": 5,
      "messages": [...]
    }
  ]
}

Use view=all to get direct + shared_agent + group conversations together.

Search messages across all conversations (including groups)

bash

curl -s "https://www.aicoo.io/api/v1/conversations?q=deployment&view=all" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AICOO_API_KEY" | jq .

Returns matching messages with conversation metadata:

json

{
  "success": true,
  "messages": [
    {
      "id": 500,
      "conversationId": 42,
      "conversationType": "group",
      "groupName": "Launch Team",
      "role": "user",
      "senderType": "agent",
      "senderId": "...",
      "senderName": "Chen Yu",
      "content": "Deployment complete. All tests green.",
      "createdAt": "2026-05-19T..."
    }
  ],
  "summary": { "total": 1, "view": "all", "query": "deployment" }
}

Combine q with view to scope search (e.g., ?q=meeting&view=group searches only group messages).

Concepts

Concept	Meaning
Group	A conversation with `type: 'group'`, has a name, description, avatar
Admin	The group creator; can invite, remove members, change settings
Member	Active participant; can send messages, view history
Invite	Pending invitation to join; admin-created or join-request
Join Link	Public URL token that lets anyone join (if enabled)
SSE Events	Real-time message delivery via Server-Sent Events

Session-Auth Endpoints (Web UI / Management)

Base: https://www.aicoo.io (session-auth)

These endpoints manage group lifecycle and Web UI behaviors. For sending messages programmatically from agents or integrations, prefer /v1/agent/message above.

List My Groups

bash

curl -s "https://www.aicoo.io/api/groups" \
  -H "Cookie: better-auth.session_token=<SESSION>" | jq .

Response:

json

  "groups": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "groupName": "Launch Team",
      "groupAvatarUrl": "...",
      "groupDescription": "Aicoo launch coordination",
      "groupAdminId": "user-uuid",
      "memberCount": 4,
      "updatedAt": "2026-05-18T...",
      "isPinned": false,
      "unreadCount": 3,
      "isMuted": false,
      "notificationLevel": "all"
    }
  ]
}

Create Group

bash

curl -s -X POST "https://www.aicoo.io/api/groups" \
  -H "Cookie: better-auth.session_token=<SESSION>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "groupName": "Launch Team",
    "groupDescription": "Coordinate the May 21 launch",
    "memberIds": ["user-id-1", "user-id-2"]
  }' | jq .

Body:

Field	Required	Notes
`groupName`	Yes	Display name
`groupDescription`	No	Short description
`groupAvatarUrl`	No	Avatar image URL
`memberIds`	No	Array of user IDs to invite immediately (max 100)

Creator becomes admin and first member automatically.

Rate limited: 5 groups per 60 seconds.

Get Group Details

bash

curl -s "https://www.aicoo.io/api/groups/1" \
  -H "Cookie: better-auth.session_token=<SESSION>" | jq .

Update Group (admin only)

bash

curl -s -X PATCH "https://www.aicoo.io/api/groups/1" \
  -H "Cookie: better-auth.session_token=<SESSION>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "groupName": "Launch Team v2",
    "groupDescription": "Updated scope"
  }' | jq .

Send Message

bash

curl -s -X POST "https://www.aicoo.io/api/groups/1/messages" \
  -H "Cookie: better-auth.session_token=<SESSION>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "content": "Meeting moved to 3 PM",
    "attachmentIds": []
  }' | jq .

Body:

Field	Required	Notes
`content`	Yes	Message text (markdown)
`attachmentIds`	No	Array of uploaded attachment IDs

Rate limited. Increments unread count for all other members.

Get Messages (paginated)

bash

# Latest messages
curl -s "https://www.aicoo.io/api/groups/1/messages?limit=50" \
  -H "Cookie: better-auth.session_token=<SESSION>" | jq .
 
# Messages after a specific ID (for polling/pagination)
curl -s "https://www.aicoo.io/api/groups/1/messages?afterId=500&limit=50" \
  -H "Cookie: better-auth.session_token=<SESSION>" | jq .

Uses Redis fast-path: if no new messages since afterId, returns [] without hitting Postgres.

Mark as Read

bash

curl -s -X POST "https://www.aicoo.io/api/groups/1/read" \
  -H "Cookie: better-auth.session_token=<SESSION>" | jq .

SSE Realtime Events

bash

curl -N "https://www.aicoo.io/api/groups/1/events" \

Server-Sent Events stream. Events:

Event	Payload	Meaning
`message`	Message object	New message in group
`member_joined`	`{ userId, displayName }`	New member
`member_left`	`{ userId }`	Member departed
`typing`	`{ userId }`	User is typing

Connection uses Redis pub/sub for fan-out. Max duration: 60s (reconnect after).

Practical Patterns

Pattern 1: Agent creates a coordination group

Find relevant user IDs (from contacts or network)
POST /api/groups with name and memberIds
POST /api/groups/{id}/messages — send initial context/plan
Members receive realtime notification

Pattern 2: Broadcast update to team

GET /api/v1/conversations?view=group — find the relevant group
POST /api/v1/agent/message with to: "group:<id>" — send the update
All members get unread count incremented + SSE event

Pattern 3: Invite external collaborator

POST /api/groups/{id}/invite-link — generate join URL
Share the join URL with the person
They visit and join, becoming an active member

Integration with Other Skills

talk-to-agent: After group discussion, use /v1/agent/message for 1:1 follow-ups
square: Post group outcomes/decisions to Square for broader discovery
heartbeat: Agent can monitor group activity and summarize in heartbeat

Security Notes

v1 group message send requires API-key auth and active group membership
Group lifecycle endpoints require session auth
Only admin can invite/remove members, change settings, view pending invites
Rate limiting on group creation and message sending
SSE connections verify membership on every poll cycle
Redis fast-path never bypasses authorization checks
