OpenAI Rolls Out ChatGPT Group Chats

OpenAI recently launched group chat functionality for ChatGPT. Experts believe it will change how teams collaborate with AI.

Currently piloting in Japan, New Zealand, Taiwan, and South Korea, ChatGPT Group Chats let up to 20 people work together in shared AI conversations. It’s a significant shift from ChatGPT’s traditionally solo experience.

The new feature works exactly like standard ChatGPT conversations, except it encourages multiple participants. Users can tag “@ChatGPT” to request responses. OpenAI’s new feature has learned when to jump in versus when to stay quiet. It also responds with emojis and can generate personalized images using participants’ profile photos.

ChatGPT users (including Team, Plus, and Free) can access this feature on web and mobile platforms. Starting a group chat is simple. Users tap the people icon and add participants directly. They can also share a link to begin collaborating.

Privacy remains intact. Personal ChatGPT memories and private chats stay completely private. Groups are invitation-only. Moreover, members can leave anytime. Also, most participants can remove others. Content filtering and parental controls are automatically enabled for under-18 users.

People creating AI-generated content find OpenAI’s new feature extremely beneficial. They believe it will fundamentally change workflows.

Video production has always been team-based, requiring scriptwriters, video editors, designers, and directors working together.

With ChatGPT Group Chat, teams can brainstorm video concepts and refine scripts. They can develop creative directions with AI participating in real-time group discussions.

When multiple team members collaborate on video projects, shared AI context is crucial. They can guarantee consistent creative direction across the entire video production pipeline. They’ll never worry about disconnected conversations where ChatGPT loses context between individual chats. Everyone in the team works from the same AI-powered foundation.

ChatGPT’s usage limits apply intelligently. Only AI responses count toward hourly caps (not messages between human participants). Hence, teams can discuss freely. They’ll never worry about using up their AI allocation (especially during critical production moments).

This announcement follows OpenAI’s Sora 2 launch in September 2025. OpenAI is clearly positioning itself beyond simple AI assistance into social collaboration territory.
