OpenAI is working on a Group Chats feature for ChatGPT, allowing multiple users to participate in a shared conversation with the AI. This feature mirrors Microsoft’s Copilot, which lets users invite others to group sessions but goes further by incorporating customizable controls. Users will be able to tailor the system prompt for discussions and decide when the AI should respond—automatically or only when tagged. This added control aims to enhance collaboration among teams, making it easier to coordinate ideas and solve problems without switching between separate chats. The Group Chats feature is expected to stand out from Microsoft’s offering due to its ability to manage AI interactions more precisely. This could attract professional and academic users who need a more structured environment for collaboration. OpenAI has a history of launching significant updates in December, particularly during their “12 days of OpenAI” event, suggesting that the Group Chats could debut alongside this seasonal rollout. As it remains in development, the specifics of its functionality are still unclear, but its introduction could significantly enhance ChatGPT's role in team-based productivity.
