OpenAI Pilots Group Chat for ChatGPT, Expanding Social Capabilities
14 Nov
Summary
- OpenAI testing group chat feature for ChatGPT
- Allows users to collaborate directly within the app
- Pilot available in select regions including Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan
On November 14th, 2025, OpenAI announced the introduction of a group chat feature for its popular AI assistant, ChatGPT. The new functionality, currently being tested in select regions including Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan, allows users to collaborate directly within the ChatGPT app.
The group chat feature is available to Free, Plus, and Team users on both mobile and web platforms. OpenAI describes this pilot as a "small first step" towards creating a more "shared experience" in the ChatGPT app. The company says it will invite early users to provide feedback, which will help shape how the feature eventually expands to more regions and offerings.
In the group chats, ChatGPT has learned new social skills, such as knowing when to jump in and when to stay quiet. Users can tag "ChatGPT" to get the AI to respond, and it can also react with emojis and use profile photos to create personalized images for the conversation. The group chat feature represents the latest step in OpenAI's gradual transformation from a simple AI assistant into something resembling a social platform.
