Artificial intelligence has steadily moved from being a personal productivity assistant to becoming a powerful team collaborator. OpenAI’s latest feature—Group Chats in ChatGPT—marks one of the biggest steps yet toward making AI a seamless part of how people work, plan, and think together.
After receiving strong early feedback during its initial pilot, OpenAI has announced that group chats will now roll out to all logged-in users across ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans globally. This means millions of people can now collaborate with friends, family, colleagues, and AI in the same conversation.
But what exactly makes this update so important? And how does it work? Let’s dive in.
Group chats introduce a shared space where multiple users—and ChatGPT—can participate together. This makes ChatGPT more than a personal helper; it becomes a collective assistant that supports team discussions, decisions, and creative exchanges.
Whether you’re planning a family event, coordinating a school project, or working with teammates on a presentation, the group chat format lets everyone see messages, ideas, files, and AI-generated insights in one place.
Initially piloted in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan, the feature is now expanding worldwide based on overwhelmingly positive user feedback.
Imagine planning a weekend trip with friends. Instead of jumping between separate chats and individual AI searches:
The same applies to planning a group dinner, managing small projects, or resolving a friendly debate—ChatGPT becomes the neutral assistant guiding everyone.
For students and professionals, group chats can be game-changing:
It’s like having a shared digital study room or meeting space powered by AI.
If you’re decorating a home, designing a garden, or exploring art styles with roommates or partners, ChatGPT helps gather references, compare ideas, and suggest designs—while everyone watches the process together.
OpenAI has made the experience simple and intuitive:
Group chats support major features like:
Responses are powered by GPT-5.1 Auto, ensuring the model adjusts intelligently based on the user’s plan.
To make group conversations feel natural, ChatGPT has been trained with new behaviours:
These touches make ChatGPT feel like a helpful participant—not an intrusive one.
You can tailor ChatGPT’s behaviour in each group chat:
Importantly, rate limits only apply to ChatGPT’s responses, not to the messages exchanged between human participants.
OpenAI has made privacy a core part of group chats:
This ensures transparency and full control for everyone involved.
OpenAI describes group chats as just the first step toward building richer shared experiences. As more users engage with this feature, OpenAI will use feedback to improve:
The long-term vision is to make ChatGPT an active partner in group workflows—helping teams think, decide, and create more effectively.
OpenAI launching group chats in ChatGPT marks a major milestone in AI evolution. ChatGPT is no longer just a personal assistant—it’s becoming a collaborative intelligence that enriches group conversations, strengthens teamwork, and simplifies everyday decision-making.
From planning dinners to conducting research, from organising travel to solving debates, ChatGPT brings a powerful mix of creativity, logic, and organisation into shared spaces.
As global rollout begins, one thing is clear:
The future of collaboration is not just human—it’s AI-enhanced.
