OpenAI is rolled out group chats to all ChatGPT users on Thursday, turning the chatbot into something closer to a group messaging app.
The feature lets up to 20 people join a shared conversation with ChatGPT. OpenAI says it’s designed for things like planning trips together, co-writing documents, settling debates, or working through research as a group, with the AI helping to search, summarize, and compare options along the way.
To start a group chat, you tap the people icon and invite others directly or share a link. Everyone sets up a quick profile with their name, username, and photo. Your personal settings and memory stay private, so the AI won’t spill your secrets to the group.
OpenAI says ChatGPT knows when to jump in and when to stay quiet. You can tag it directly if you want a response, and it can even react to messages with emojis and reference people’s profile photos.
It’s available now to users on Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans.
This is part of OpenAI’s bigger push to make ChatGPT more social.
Usage limits (credits or message caps) are applied to each individual person's account based on their own activity, not the initiator's account.
When ChatGPT replies to a message, that specific response counts against the usage limit of the person who sent the prompt.
Privacy & Limits: Each person's individual settings and subscription tier apply to their own interactions. If a user on a Free plan asks a question, they are subject to Free tier limits, even if the group creator has a Plus or Pro account.
I may try this with my Premium and VIP members!
Drop a YES or NO in the chat if you are gonna try this or not! lol👇
