That is good to know and thanks for the clarification. With this operating at the message level and not the thread or group level, is context still preserved to actually have a conversation with GPT?
Yes. Each time you mention @AI in a thread, all prior mentions of @AI in the same thread, as well as its prior responses (up to the token limit for GPT-3.5) are resubmitted to the OpenAI API, so that it can continue the conversation including prior context.
