Did ChatGPT Just Join The Group Chat?
OpenAI has decided ChatGPT shouldn’t just be your one-on-one chatbot buddy — now it’s everyone’s group chat therapist. The company’s new Group Chat feature lets up to 20 people (and one very patient AI) share a single conversation.
Think of it as a virtual meeting room where ChatGPT joins your family planning session, your team brainstorm, or your “where-should-we-eat-dinner” argument — and still stays polite when someone inevitably derails the chat.
How It Works: Start a group, send a link, and boom — you’ve got a digital room full of humans (and one code-based overachiever). You can name the group, add photos, mute notifications when things get chaotic, and ask ChatGPT to summarize what you all just said when you lose the plot.
ChatGPT will jump in when tagged, crack a few emoji reactions, and even use your profile pics when generating images — because nothing says teamwork like AI-powered doodles of your faces.
Why It’s Actually Useful: Sure, OpenAI says this is for planning hangouts and trips. But let’s be real: your office is already sliding this into the “brainstorming tool” folder. The AI can organize your chaos — summarizing ideas, rewriting drafts, and catching up latecomers so you don’t have to forward fifty Slack messages.
New teammate? Add them to the chat, and ChatGPT will deliver an instant “What You Missed” recap — no awkward orientation required.
The Big Picture: Group Chat basically turns ChatGPT into your always-on intern: remembers nothing, judges no one, and somehow still keeps the project moving.
So yes, the future of productivity apparently looks like yet another group chat — but this time, there’s actually someone reading all your messages and making them better.
