Human–Multi-AI Collaborative Group Chats

Thanks for the thoughtful write-up, @Amoomoji. I really like how you've distinguished between today's group collaboration and the idea of each participant bringing their own personalized ChatGPT into the conversation.

Group Chats already support multiple people collaborating alongside a shared ChatGPT, with options like automatic or mention-only responses and group-specific custom instructions. However, personal memory, account-level custom instructions, and individual conversation history are intentionally not shared or used in group chats today. Instead, the group uses a single ChatGPT with its own group-specific behavior. (OpenAI Help Center)

So the core idea you're proposing, where Alice's ChatGPT and Bob's ChatGPT each participate as distinct assistants with their own memories and personalization, isn't something that's currently supported.

We'll pass this feature request along to the team for logging. Thanks for taking the time to lay out the use case and examples so clearly. It helps illustrate why separate personalized assistants in a shared workspace could enable a different style of collaboration than the current Group Chats experience.
