Market Impact

Event Summary

OpenAI has globally rolled out a new group chat feature for its flagship AI chatbot, ChatGPT, following a successful pilot in regions including Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan. This feature allows up to 20 users to collaborate with ChatGPT in a single, shared conversation, making it a more versatile tool for planning, decision-making, and brainstorming in both personal and professional contexts. The group chats are powered by GPT-5.1 Auto, which dynamically selects the best model for responses. OpenAI aims to transform ChatGPT into a general-purpose AI assistant, deeply embedded in daily life, and this feature aligns with that mission. Privacy controls are in place, ensuring personal ChatGPT memory is not shared in group chats, and content protections are automatically enabled for users under 18. The move also positions OpenAI in a competitive landscape, with companies like Meta Platforms also exploring proactive AI chatbots.
