Group Chats in ChatGPT Are Now Available Globally

OpenAI ChatGPT Group Chats

OpenAI is making group chats in ChatGPT available for all users globally. Group chats were first launched in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan a week ago, and the feature is now rolling out to all ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans.

Group chats allow ChatGPT users to create separate conversations where they can collaborate without having their conversations with the chatbot being saved in their personal ChatGPT memory. Group chats currently support up to 20 participants, and each of them can invite other people using links. The group manager can also control the tone and length of ChatGPT’s responses.

The interesting thing about group chats is that ChatGPT works quite differently in that setting. OpenAI previously explained that it implemented new “social behaviors” to make the chatbot “follow the flow of the conversation” and “decide when to respond and when to stay quiet based on the context of the group conversation.”

OpenAI also said that the introduction of group chats was an important milestone in turning ChatGPT into “a shared space to collaborate and interact with others.” The AI startup wasn’t actually first to add a collaborative mode to its chatbot as Microsoft started testing a similar groups feature in Copilot with a subset of users in the US.
