ChatGPT slides into the group chat
"Search, image and file upload, image generation, and dictation are all enabled, OpenAI says. Rate limits only apply when ChatGPT responds, not on messages sent by humans in group chat. Group chatting with ChatGPT could help users coordinate trips and events, brainstorm with work teams or hobby communities or facilitate study groups. By the numbers: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently announced that ChatGPT has 800 million weekly users. If those people start adding their non-ChatGPT-using-friends to their group chats, that's a lot of new users."
"To chat with Continua's bot, users add its phone number to their group chats or its user name to their Discord chat. Petrou says including bots in your group chat is about reducing friction. "There are so many times that I've heard people say 'I was planning something, and this is what ChatGPT told me,' and then I'll go use ChatGPT, and then I'll get back to my friend and say, 'Well, this is what ChatGPT told me.' It's almost like dueling ChatGPT responses for us.""
OpenAI is piloting a ChatGPT group-chat feature in Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, and Taiwan for Free, Go, Plus, and Pro users on mobile and web. Users can add up to 20 people to a chat, invite participants via link, and require short profiles with a name, username, and photo. Media features such as search, image and file upload, image generation, and dictation are enabled; rate limits apply only when ChatGPT responds. Group chats aim to support coordination, brainstorming, and study groups. Continua offers a competing approach that integrates bots into existing group chats to reduce friction. Many users still find bots in group settings awkward and often prefer one-on-one interactions.
