OpenAI announced on its official website and changelog that it has begun piloting the ChatGPT group chat feature in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan. This feature, which allows multiple users to join the same session with ChatGPT to plan trips together, make decisions, or collaborate on projects, is currently rolling out on web, iOS, and Android clients.
Officials said that group chats are open to logged-in ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users, and each group can invite up to about 20 members to join the same conversation through a shared link. Group chats are independent of individual conversations, and participants' personal memories are not shared between group chats, and are mainly used to collect early feedback to decide whether to expand to more regions and packages in the future.
