OpenAI has introduced a major update to ChatGPT

OpenAI has introduced a major update to ChatGPT: group chats, shifting the platform from a one-on-one tool to one that supports small-group collaboration. This video dives into how this new functionality allows users to bring up to 20 others into a shared conversation with the chatbot.
Learn how to use this feature for both casual coordination—like setting up a dinner or preparing a trip—and for essential professional tasks. For work teams, group chats may reduce friction by offering a single space for discussion with ChatGPT actively in the loop.
Key Takeaways from the Update:
• Simple Initiation: Start a group chat by selecting the “people” icon in the top-right corner, which copies your current conversation into a new shared space. Participants are invited via a shareable link.
• Intelligent Participation: ChatGPT has been trained to “go along with the flow of the conversation,” intelligently deciding when to respond and when to stay silent. Users can prompt the model directly by mentioning “ChatGPT” in their message.
• Powered by GPT-5.1 Auto: The feature runs on the GPT-5.1 Auto model, which selects the appropriate response model based on the prompt and user options.
• Enhanced Team Efficiency: Group chats help solve common collaboration challenges:
◦ Aligning cross-functional teams: ChatGPT can summarize the thread, identify open questions, or turn notes into a structured plan for team members who join late.
◦ Smoother review cycles: Teams can react to the same draft together, allowing ChatGPT to rewrite passages, compare versions, and clarify feedback, speeding up work.
◦ Faster onboarding: Managers can add new teammates and instruct ChatGPT to summarize past discussions and highlight key decisions or open tasks.
◦ Coordinating shared tasks: For routine tasks like planning an event or drafting an email, anyone can ask ChatGPT to create a schedule or build a checklist, which the group can then adjust collaboratively.
This introduction of group chats is part of a broader shift where many companies are testing ways to bring AI deeper into their workflows and may change how early project conversations take shape.
