Why group work ends up in scattered chats
AI is part of how many students work now: in the March quarter of 2026, 68% of Australians aged 18 to 24 used AI tools in an average four weeks, according to Roy Morgan. In a group, that means everyone has their own thread, their own angle and their own drafts. Nobody has the whole picture.
First, agree on the rules
- Check your unit's rules on AI before anyone uses it for the assignment. If it isn't allowed, it isn't allowed.
- Agree on what gets shared. Each person decides what's in the chat they pass on.
- Keep track of who did what. Your marker may want to know.
Bring the chats together by hand
- Each person writes a short summary of their chat: what they found, what they decided, what's still open.
- Put the summaries in one document, under each person's name.
- Mark where you agree and where you don't.
- Start one new chat with the combined summary, and work from there.
It works, but it takes a meeting just to do the summaries.
The faster way: Merge, in Uncook
Uncook's Merge brings several chats together into one prompt, to carry on in a single AI. With the Uncook extension, pick the chats and choose Merge. You get one prompt that brings together what matters from each chat.
The chats can come from different AIs: one in ChatGPT, one in Gemini, one in Claude. The task cost and account limits are shown in the tool box below.
Then, if you need it, make a Memo of the same chats: what's decided, what changed, what was set aside and what doesn't add up. It counts as another task, shown before you click.
Questions people ask
Can I merge chats from my group mates' accounts? The extension reads supported chats open in your own browser. For a group mate's work, ask them to send the useful part or their own summary and combine it by hand. Do not assume that a shared link can be selected in Merge. Ask first, and use only what they choose to share.
Does the merged prompt say who wrote what? It brings together what the chats say. Keep your own note of who contributed what.
Can we hand in the merged prompt? No. It's a starting point for your group's work, not the work itself.

We don't keep the conversations you bring. When you click Send to Uncook in the extension window, the extension sends the chat from your tab to our servers, encrypted, for up to 30 minutes, and we delete it as soon as your Uncook page opens it. What Uncook makes from it is kept as a task, for as long as our Privacy page says. Neither your chats nor your tasks are used to train AI models.
