Planning a trip with friends or organising a weekend dinner just got easier, because ChatGPT can now join your group chats like a real participant.
Yes, the AI can sit in the same conversation as your friends and help you plan, suggest ideas, answer questions, or even generate images on the spot.
OpenAI has rolled out its new group chat feature to all signed-in users worldwide. Whether you’re on the Free, Go, Plus, or Pro plan, you can start a group chat and invite others to collaborate, with ChatGPT jumping in whenever needed. What is ChatGPT’s new group chat feature ChatGPT group chats let multiple people and the AI assistant talk in the same conversation. You can use it for planning, sharing files, brainstorming, or simply chatting with friends while having ChatGPT around to fact-check, create content, or keep things organised. You can invite anyone through a link, set basic profiles, and let ChatGPT respond using GPT-5.1 Auto, which automatically picks the best model based on the user’s plan and the type of question asked. What you can do inside a group chat ChatGPT can participate just like a human member, offering several tools: Only ChatGPT’s messages count toward the limit of the person who triggered its reply. Messages between human members have no limits. Note: You can also mention “ChatGPT” when you specifically want it to respond; otherwise, it will observe the conversation and step in when it seems helpful. How to start a group chat Starting one is simple:
Once in, members can rename the group, add/remove people, mute notifications, or set custom instructions that shape how ChatGPT behaves in that specific chat. Privacy and control This feature works separately from your personal ChatGPT chats. That means: Members must accept an invitation to join, and they can leave anytime. Anyone can remove other members except the group’s creator, who can only be removed if they exit on their own. For users under 18, ChatGPT automatically restricts sensitive content across the entire group. Parents and guardians can also fully disable group chats using parental controls.
