How to Create a ChatGPT Group Chat

ChatGPT group chats let multiple people talk, collaborate, and explore ideas together in one shared conversation with AI. You can use them for practical topics like coding, studying, or startup ideas, but also for fun things like anime discussions, movie recommendations, gaming, storytelling, AI art prompts, and entertainment communities.

ChatGPT allows up to 20 people per group chat, making it ideal for focused conversations where every voice matters.

There are two ways to start a group: from a new chat or from an existing chat. The steps vary slightly depending on your device, so this guide covers every platform: Desktop / Web, iPhone / iOS, Android, and Mobile Browser.

What Is a ChatGPT Group Chat?

A ChatGPT group chat is a shared conversation where more than one person can chat together with ChatGPT in the same room.

People use ChatGPT groups to ask questions together, share prompts and ideas, brainstorm with friends or coworkers, study or learn as a group, talk about hobbies like movies, anime, gaming, and art, and create stories, characters, and entertainment ideas with AI.

Before You Start

You will need a ChatGPT account and be signed in to ChatGPT. It also helps to have a topic or reason for your group, though you can create the group first and share the invite link later.

Group Chats may still be rolling out, so the feature may not appear for every user yet. If you don't see the person icon or "Start group chat" option, the feature may not be available on your account.

Popular ChatGPT Group Ideas

ChatGPT groups can be used for almost any topic, not just work or coding.

Creative and art groups: AI art prompt sharing, creative writing groups, storytelling and worldbuilding, character creation and design.

Entertainment and fandom groups: anime discussions, movie recommendations, TV show theories, gaming groups, fantasy and roleplay communities.

Learning and study groups: language learning, homework help, exam preparation, study accountability groups with up to 20 people.

Technology and business groups: prompt engineering, programming help, AI tool discussions, startup brainstorming, marketing and SaaS ideas.

The best groups usually have a clear topic, a clear audience, and a simple reason for people to join.

Tips for Creating a Better Group

Choose a clear topic so people know what the group is about. Use a simple name that is easy to understand. Share the invite link with the right audience. Encourage people to participate, not just read. Keep the group focused so conversations stay useful.

For example, a group called "Anime Recommendations with ChatGPT" is much clearer than a group called "Fun Chat".
