How AI Summaries Save Time in Group Chats

Group chats move fast. Whether it's a family discussion, a project team, or a community group, hundreds of messages can pile up while you're away. Scrolling through everything to find what matters takes time you don't have.

ChatCript's AI-powered summaries solve this by automatically reading group conversations and distilling them into clear, concise highlights. Here's how it works and why it matters.

What Are AI Chat Summaries?

Every private group chat in ChatCript can generate AI summaries. The AI analyses messages over a period and produces a brief summary that captures the key points, decisions, and action items discussed by group members.

How to Use AI Summaries

  1. Open any private group chat.
  2. Tap the star icon next to the group name in your contact list, or use the 3-dot menu inside the chat.
  3. Switch between the normal chat view and the AI summary view.
  4. Read summaries in chronological order — the latest appears at the bottom.
  5. Long-press any summary to rate it from 1 to 5 stars (this helps improve future summaries).
  6. Long-press a summary and tap Forward to share it with other users or groups.

Multi-Language Support

ChatCript AI understands and summarises conversations in English, Sinhala, Tamil, and mixed-language chats. If your group speaks multiple languages, the summary captures the meaning accurately regardless of the script.

Why This Saves You Time

  • Catch up in seconds — Instead of reading 200+ messages, read a 5-line summary.
  • Never miss decisions — Key decisions and action items are highlighted automatically.
  • Stay informed across groups — Even if you're in dozens of groups, summaries keep you in the loop.
  • Share context quickly — Forward a summary to someone who needs the highlights without forwarding every message.
Tip: Rate your summaries! The more feedback you give, the better the AI gets at understanding your group's conversation style.
Guide

Create a Virtual Profile — Step by Step

In real life, you present yourself differently at work, with family, and among friends. ChatCript's Virtual Profiles bring that same flexibility to your digital life. One account, multiple identities — each with its own name, photo, bio, friends, and groups.

What Is a Virtual Profile?

A Virtual Profile is a separate identity linked to your main account. It has its own display name, profile picture, bio, friend list, and group memberships. People who connect with your virtual profile see only that profile — not your main account.

Why Use Virtual Profiles?

  • Separate work and personal life — Keep professional contacts on one profile and personal friends on another.
  • Community involvement — Join hobby or interest groups under a profile dedicated to that community.
  • Privacy control — Choose exactly what each audience sees about you.
  • Multiple businesses — If you run different ventures, give each one its own presence.
  • One login, everything managed — Switch between profiles instantly without logging out.

How to Create a Virtual Profile

Step 1: Open the app and tap your profile photo at the top right corner.
Step 2: On your profile screen, tap "Create Virtual Profile".
Step 3: Choose a display name for the new profile (e.g., "Work - John" or "Photography Club").
Step 4: Upload a profile picture and write a bio. Use "Improve with AI" if you need help writing it.
Step 5: Set privacy and visibility preferences for this profile.
Step 6: Start adding friends and joining groups under this new profile.

Switching Between Profiles

Tap your profile photo at the top right and select the profile you want to switch to. The switch is instant — your feed, chats, and groups update to reflect the selected profile.

Things to Know

  • Each virtual profile has its own separate friend list and group memberships.
  • Messages sent from a virtual profile appear under that profile's name.
  • You can share a virtual profile with another main profile user for co-management.
  • Deleting a virtual profile does not affect your main account.
Tip: Use descriptive names for your virtual profiles so you can identify them quickly when switching — for example, "Family - Sarah" or "Tech Community".
AI Feature

Write the Perfect Bio with AI

Your bio is the first thing people see on your profile. A well-written bio makes a strong impression, but not everyone finds it easy to write about themselves. That's where ChatCript AI comes in.

How It Works

Just type a few words about yourself — don't worry about spelling, grammar, or even which language you're typing in. ChatCript AI automatically detects your language, fixes errors, and transforms your rough notes into a polished, professional bio.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Tap your profile photo at the top right to open your profile.
Step 2: Tap "Edit Profile".
Step 3: Find the Bio field and type a few words about yourself. For example: "software developer colombo love hiking photography"
Step 4: Tap the "Improve with AI" button below the bio field.
Step 5: The AI instantly rewrites your text into a polished bio. Review it and save.

What the AI Does

  • Fixes spelling and grammar automatically.
  • Detects your language — works with English, Sinhala, Tamil, and more.
  • Adds appropriate emojis to make your bio stand out.
  • Keeps your meaning — it improves the writing, not the content.
  • Handles transliteration — if you type Sinhala words in English letters (e.g., "mama colombo inna"), the AI outputs proper Sinhala script.

Works for Posts Too

The same "Improve with AI" button appears when creating posts, group descriptions, and channel descriptions. Type your rough idea, tap the button, and get polished text instantly.

Tip: You don't need to write perfect sentences. Even a list of keywords like "teacher, mother, loves cooking, Kandy" is enough — the AI will craft a natural-sounding bio from it.
Privacy

Keep Conversations Private with Locked Messages

Sometimes messages contain sensitive information that shouldn't be visible to everyone who picks up your phone. ChatCript's Locked Messages feature lets you password-protect any message in any chat.

What Can You Lock?

Everything. Text messages, photos, voice notes, videos, and documents can all be locked. Once locked, the content is hidden behind a password prompt.

Setting Up Your Lock Password

Step 1: Go to Profile → Settings → Privacy & Security.
Step 2: Tap "Chat lock password".
Step 3: Enter and confirm a password (minimum 4 characters).

Sending a New Locked Message

  1. Open any chat (1:1 or group).
  2. Tap the attachment icon (+) to open the menu.
  3. Tap the Lock toggle — the icon turns red when active.
  4. A small red lock appears on the send button to confirm lock mode is on.
  5. Type your message or attach media and send as usual.

Locking an Existing Message

  1. Long-press any message in the chat.
  2. "Lock for me" — locks it only on your device.
  3. "Lock for everyone" (sender only) — locks it for all participants.

Viewing Locked Messages

Locked messages appear as a lock icon with "Locked message — Tap to unlock". Tap the bubble, enter your password, and the content is revealed temporarily. Messages re-lock when you leave the chat.

Security Features

  • 3 wrong password attempts triggers a 30-minute lockout.
  • Chat list preview shows "🔒 Locked message" instead of actual content.
  • Forgot your password? Go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Chat lock password → "Forgot password?" to reset via email OTP.

  • Posts — Content within channels: text, photos, videos, polls, and action items with reminders.

Step 2: Enter a group name and description. Use "Improve with AI" to polish your description.
Step 3: Select a group type (Family, Work, Community, etc.) and set privacy.
Step 4: Add members from your friend list and tap Create.

Creating Channels Inside a Group

Step 1: Open a group and tap the "+" button or "Create Channel".
Step 2: Give the channel a name and optional description.
Step 3: Add a channel photo if desired, then tap Create.

What You Can Do in Groups

  • Create up to 20 channels per group for different topics.
  • Post text, photos, videos, and polls in channels.
  • Add action items with reminders to group posts.
