OpenAI is rolling out a new collaborative feature that transforms ChatGPT from a solo tool into a multi-person workspace. Group chats are now available, letting multiple users jump into the same conversation thread with the AI and with each other.
The move reflects a broader shift in how teams want to use AI. Rather than individuals bouncing between separate ChatGPT sessions and then trying to sync up their results, group chats keep everyone working from the same transcript. It's a response to the reality that most knowledge work happens in teams.
The feature works by allowing users to invite collaborators directly into a chat. Everyone in the group sees the full conversation history and can ask questions, add context, or build on previous responses without losing the thread. For remote teams or anyone doing collaborative brainstorming, research, or problem-solving, this eliminates the friction of copying findings back and forth across email or Slack.
OpenAI has been gradually adding social features to ChatGPT after releasing the base product as a single-user tool. Group chats represent one of the most significant steps toward making the platform feel less like a personal assistant and more like a shared workspace.
The company has not announced specific details about limits on group size, whether certain account tiers get access, or a full rollout timeline, though the feature is beginning to appear for users now.
Author Emily Chen: "This fills an obvious gap that every team using ChatGPT has felt. The real question is whether OpenAI keeps this simple and useful, or buries it under permission settings and paywalls."
