OpenAI is launching a new feature in its popular chatbot ChatGPT: group chats. Users can now invite up to 20 people to join their conversation with the AI, effectively turning it into a virtual meeting space.
The new feature allows users to collaborate on tasks such as planning a dinner party or creating travel plans with ease. All they need to do is select the "people" icon in the top-right corner of the ChatGPT app and copy their existing chat to a new group conversation. Others can then be added by sending them a link to the conversation.
ChatGPT will automatically determine when to contribute and when to stay silent, based on the flow of the conversation. Users can also mention "ChatGPT" in a message if they want a response from the AI. In addition, ChatGPT can react to messages with emojis and reference profile photos.
Group chats are powered by GPT-5.1 Auto, which chooses the best model to respond with based on the prompt and the models available to the user that ChatGPT is responding to. Rate limits will apply when ChatGPT sends a message in the chat, but this won't affect the conversations themselves.
The feature is now available globally to all logged-in users following an initial pilot earlier this month.

like my friends & i were trying to plan a party last week but it took forever to coordinate via normal messaging apps... now we can all just be in the same space & discuss everything at once 
its so cool!
but idk how well it'll hold up in real life, you know? it's one thing to have a virtual meeting space, but when everyone's throwing around ideas and emotions are running high, can the AI really keep up? and what happens if someone gets stuck in an infinite loop of questions with ChatGPT? 
also, i'm curious about how they're gonna moderate these conversations - don't wanna be bombarded by spam or trolls... but at the same time, it's a game-changer for remote teams and social events 
! It's like they're taking that old Microsoft Teams vibe from back in the day (you know what I'm talkin' about 
) and giving it a futuristic AI twist. Planning a dinner party or travel plans with a chatbot? Genius, right?! 
But for real though, think about all the productivity you could get done with this feature... and the potential for some epic group conversations 
! I mean, can you imagine having a discussion on The Office (US) marathon strategy with a bunch of friends in one place 
? ChatGPT's got this, but I gotta wonder, are they gonna make us pay per group chat or what? 
or even family 
... but I'm also wondering, how private are these chats? Like, what happens if someone screenshots a convo and shares it with others? 
! Just kidding, it's actually pretty cool that we can now invite up to 20 people to join the convo with ChatGPT. I mean, who doesn't love planning a dinner party or creating travel plans with an AI? It's like having your own personal virtual assistant (minus the part where they judge you for eating too much pizza 
). The fact that it can react with emojis and reference profile pics is just the cherry on top - now we can have a real conversation, minus the awkward silences. Can't wait to see how this plays out!
The idea of having multiple people in the conversation and ChatGPT contributing when needed is genius 
... I hope it won't make the experience feel choppy or anything 
. Also, I'd love to see some more creative ways for users to engage with ChatGPT in group chats... maybe some fun emojis or GIFs 
. Overall, though, this is a great way to take group conversations to the next level 
And the fact that ChatGPT can react with emojis is just code for "we're watching you" 
its like having a super smart virtual assistant that knows exactly when to chime in and help you brainstorm ideas for your dinner party or trip plans 
. And it's so easy to set up too! Just copy and paste the conversation and send out invites. 
The fact that ChatGPT can react with emojis and reference profile pics is just the icing on the cake 
. I don’t know how I lived without this feature! 
, where we can plan the party, decide on games, and even have a virtual "round-robin" to pass around some laughs. The AI's ability to respond with emojis and reference profile pics is a nice touch too 
. I'm also intrigued by how ChatGPT will know when to chime in or stay quiet - it's like having a super smart, digital sidekick 
.
. It's like having a virtual coworking space where you can bounce ideas off others and get responses from ChatGPT all in one place 
. And the fact that it learns when to chime in and when to keep quiet is genius 
. I'm already imagining using this for planning parties with friends or working on group projects with colleagues 
. the fact that ChatGPT can adapt to the conversation flow and even react with emojis 
... it's a game changer 
I think it's super cool that OpenAI is taking group chats to the next level with ChatGPT! Having the ability to collaborate on tasks like planning a dinner party or creating travel plans with a virtual assistant is so convenient 
. The global launch is awesome, everyone can now collaborate on tasks and have virtual meetings without any issues
