About This Feature

Overview

Group Bot lets you manage bots in a WPS group chat on macOS. From the chat settings panel in a group conversation, you can open the Group Bot page, check how many bots have already been added to the group, review each bot's name and description, and add another bot when needed.

Core tasks include:

  • Open the Group Bot entry and check the current count of added bots.
  • Review the bot list for the current group.
  • Add a new bot to the current group chat.

This feature fits collaboration scenarios where a team needs automated notifications, message delivery, or a consistent way to manage bot access inside a group chat.

Capability SummaryIn a macOS group chat, WPS opens Group Bot from chat settings so you can view the number of added bots, review the bot list, and add another bot for the current group.Teams bots can be installed in a team or group chat so members can interact with the bot. In many group chat cases, bots respond when they are directly @mentioned.Google Chat apps work in group chats and spaces, with APIs for spaces, members, and messages.Notion focuses on connections, permissions, and webhooks that monitor workspace changes, rather than a native group chat bot management panel.Adobe Acrobat focuses on document chat and file Q&A, including asking questions, comparing files, and extracting insights from documents.
WPS AdvantagesAdvantage: The entry is inside the current group chat settings, so bot management stays close to the active conversation. Distinct: You can see the bot count, bot names, and descriptions in one place before adding another bot.Compared with WPS: Teams supports broader bot conversation scopes, but group chat behavior often depends on installation scope and @mentions.Compared with WPS: Google Chat is more developer-oriented around app and space resources, instead of a desktop chat settings panel for bot list management.Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with workspace automation and data events, not a member-facing group chat bot list.Compared with WPS: Adobe centers on document AI interactions and does not provide in-chat bot list management for group conversations.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to review and add bots directly inside a group chat, WPS keeps the workflow close to the conversation itself. Microsoft and Google provide broader platform-level bot frameworks, while Notion and Adobe are oriented more toward workspace automation or document chat.
