How to Do It
Include multiple @mentions in your message. Only the named AIs respond.When to Use Multiple (Not All 5)
You want specific strengths combined
You want speed
Two AIs respond faster than five. If you know which perspectives you need, skip the rest.You’ve already had the full-team round
After all 5 responded, you might want to go deeper with just the 2-3 that gave the most relevant answers.You’re comparing specific viewpoints
Examples
Research + Analysis (2 AIs)
Creative + Technical (2 AIs)
Research + Real-Time + Synthesis (3 AIs)
Analysis Team (3 AIs)
Multi-Mention vs. Task Assignment
Multi-mention - All named AIs answer the same question:The Response Order
When you @mention multiple AIs, they respond in their standard sequence:- Grok (if mentioned)
- Perplexity (if mentioned)
- GPT-5.2 (if mentioned)
- Claude (if mentioned)
- Gemini (if mentioned)
Tips
- Start with all 5 for your first message on a new topic. Then narrow to 2-3 for follow-ups.
- If two AIs disagreed in a full-team round, @mention just those two to continue the debate.
- The silent AIs still track the conversation. You can bring them back in at any time.
- There’s no limit to how many you can @mention - 2, 3, or 4 all work. (5 is the same as no @mention.)
