As a key form in online social platforms, group chat is a popular space for interest exchange or problem-solving, but its effectiveness is often hindered by inactivity and management challenges. While recent large language models (LLMs) have powered impressive one-to-one conversational agents, their seamlessly integration into multi-participant conversations remains unexplored. To address this gap, we introduce GCAgent, an LLM-driven system for enhancing group chats communication with both entertainment- and utility-oriented dialogue agents. The system comprises three tightly integrated modules: Agent Builder, which customizes agents to align with users' interests; Dialogue Manager, which coordinates dialogue states and manage agent invocations; and Interface Plugins, which reduce interaction barriers by three distinct tools. Through extensive experiment, GCAgent achieved an average score of 4.68 across various criteria and was preferred in 51.04\% of cases compared to its base model. Additionally, in real-world deployments over 350 days, it increased message volume by 28.80\%, significantly improving group activity and engagement. Overall, this work presents a practical blueprint for extending LLM-based dialogue agent from one-party chats to multi-party group scenarios.
