OpenAI Tests New Shared Group Chats With ChatGPT
OpenAI is testing a new feature that lets people collaborate with ChatGPT inside shared group chats. The ChatGPT group chats make trip planning, teamwork, and idea sharing easier. The feature gives everyone a single place to talk, add links, and organize tasks.
The pilot is rolling out on mobile and web for logged-in users. It reaches Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans. In addition, the first launch includes Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan. More regions will join soon.
A Smarter Way to Collaborate
Each group thread allows people and ChatGPT to speak together naturally. For example, users can drop notes, questions, and webpages into the chat. ChatGPT can then summarize or structure the information within seconds. As a result, groups can move faster and stay aligned.
OpenAI trained ChatGPT to behave more naturally in group conversations. It decides when to talk, reacts with emojis, and uses profile photos for context. These updates make the interaction feel more human and more fun.
Flexible Controls and Safety Features
Users can invite up to 20 people into a shared space. They can also rename the group, mute alerts, manage members, and set custom instructions. In addition, people maintain full control of their personal ChatGPT memory. It never appears in any group conversation.
OpenAI built stronger safeguards for minors. The system reduces exposure to sensitive content and supports optional parental controls. These tools create a safer, more inclusive environment for young users.
Overall, the ChatGPT group chats feature shows OpenAI’s push toward collaborative AI. It helps teams stay organized, communicate better, and create together in real time.
