This is considered an important change in the way chatbots operate so far. Microsoft has recently added a similar concept to Copilot.
The new feature works on the newly launched GPT-5.1 model, with a limit calculation mechanism only when ChatGPT responds. This helps group members exchange freely without worrying about being counted in the limit if they don't require ChatGPT to respond.
How to do it: ChatGPT track the entire flow of the conversation and decides when to speak up and when to stay silent, depending on the context.
Users can directly mention ChatGPT to request feedback at any time.
ChatGPT can release emoji and recognize the member's representative photo, thereby creating a fun, personalized image for the whole group when required.
Currently, the group chat feature is only being tested in some countries. OpenAI said it will continue to make adjustments based on initial user feedback before expanding to many other areas.
