OpenAI has rolled out group chats to all ChatGPT users worldwide across Free, Go, Plus, and Pro plans, following a limited regional pilot last week. The new feature transforms ChatGPT from a one-to-one assistant into a shared environment where up to 20 participants can collaborate alongside the AI in a single conversation.
Users can plan trips, co-write documents, debate ideas, or work through research while ChatGPT searches, summarizes, compares options, and provides guidance when tagged. Each participant sets a short profile, and personal settings and memory remain private. Adding new participants creates a fresh conversation, preserving the original chat.
The launch signals OpenAI’s broader strategy to evolve ChatGPT into a social, collaborative platform. It follows recent product milestones including the release of GPT-5.1 and the debut of Sora, OpenAI’s social video-generation app.
