OpenAI is piloting a new group chat feature for ChatGPT in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan, allowing multiple users to interact with the AI simultaneously.
This feature marks a change in chatbot interaction, following a similar introduction by Microsoft in Copilot. The group chats utilize the new GPT-5.1 model, introduced yesterday. Rate limits apply only when ChatGPT generates a response, enabling users to converse freely without immediately exhausting usage limits after each message.

Users can specifically prompt ChatGPT by mentioning “ChatGPT” in a message. The AI also has the capability to react to messages with emojis and reference profile photos, allowing it to create personalized images within group conversations using members’ photos.
The pilot program in these four regions will inform adjustments to the group chat functionality, with OpenAI planning to expand access to additional regions based on user feedback.
