OpenAI Brings Group Chats to ChatGPT

OpenAI has introduced group chats in ChatGPT, letting multiple people and the assistant participate in the same conversation, the company announced under the title "Introducing group chats in ChatGPT."

The feature is described in a single line: "Collaborate with others, and ChatGPT, in the same conversation." No additional details on availability, pricing, rollout timing, or participant limits were included in the announcement.

The move matters because it shifts ChatGPT toward a shared, multi-user model of AI assistance. Group conversations position the product closer to collaborative tools such as Slack and Google Docs, where AI assistants increasingly act as participants rather than private utilities. For OpenAI, the feature could deepen engagement by making ChatGPT a default presence in team and family discussions.

The announcement arrives amid intensifying competition among assistant providers to embed AI into shared workflows. How OpenAI handles moderation, context, and user roles across multiple participants in a single thread remains the open question as the feature rolls out.
