Sam Altman Announces ChatGPT’s Global Group Chats for Next-Level Collaboration

ChatGPT Announces Group Chats for Everyone in the World

⁃ New: Global group chat has been released on ChatGPT for users of Free, Go, Plus & Pro. This update turns ChatGPT from a solo assistant into a collaborative AI platform, where more than one person can come together — or chat with the AI itself — to have one shared conversation.

You can chat with as many as 20 people in one group, a feature useful for so much more than just teams. People are invited to join through direct invites or shared links, and all users create a simple profile featuring their name, username and photo.

This week, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman highlighted that this new model is a significant step toward shared real-time AI: the kind of technology that can help people think and plan and create together without starting with talking about economic impact how it’s going to hurt jobs across industries.

New Group Chat Feature: How It Works

How to start a group chat It’s easy to create a group chat. Users may invite someone to a meeting or add them directly. When a new person is added to the chat, ChatGPT automatically generates a new group thread so that previous conversations remain private. Your own chat history and memory are still completely uninfluenced by the group.

In this context, ChatGPT is a savvy contextual assistant. The Bot will only respond when called, meaning side discussions are natural place no bots in your group. Users are able to ask ChatGPT to summarize conversations, generate ideas, plan events, weigh options or do research — all in real time. The AI can also pull up participants’ names and profiles, as well as respond with emojis for added engagement in the conversation.

This function provides for various types of group engagements:

Trip planning and scheduling
Team meetings and brainstorming sessions
Group research and academic collaboration
Creative content development
Decision-making discussions

By blending collective human viewpoints with AI smarts, ChatGPT is the central nexus for structured group communication that’s productive.
