JAKARTA OpenAI announced the expansion of the group chat feature on ChatGPT on Thursday, November 20. This group chat feature is finally available globally for free users to subscribers.

This expansion was carried out after the company conducted trials in certain areas, including Japan and New Zealand. With this new feature, users can collaborate with friends, family, or co-workers in a conversation on ChatGPT.

This update also changed the ChatGPT function, which was originally just a personal assistant to an integrated collaborative space. This launch also shows that the public responded positively during the trial.

Group chats can accommodate up to 20 users. All participants can join as long as they receive an invitation from the group maker. Despite being a member of the group, the individual settings and memory remain confidential and not shared.

To start a group chat, users only need to tap on the people's icon and add participants directly or share an invitation link. Everyone who joins will be asked to create a short profile that includes their username, username, and photo.

It's important to note that adding someone to an existing chat will create a new conversation automatically. This will ensure that the original chat does not change and context privacy will be maintained.

In this chat room, all participants can coordinate travel or write documents together. ChatGPT will help search, summarize, and compare options during the discussion process.

OpenAI states that ChatGPT is designed to know when to respond and when to shut up during group conversations. Users can explicitly tag ChatGPT with the sign '@' at the beginning so that the model responds to their questions directly.
