Real-Time Shared Threads for ChatGPT Team Users

Hello OpenAI team and fellow users,

As a ChatGPT Team customer, I’d like to request a feature that feels like an essential piece of the collaboration puzzle:

The ability for multiple team members to collaborate inside the same chat thread in real time.


:speech_balloon: Why This Matters

Right now, even though my teammate and I are part of the same Team workspace, we’re each limited to our own private threads. If one of us starts a conversation with ChatGPT, the other can’t join in — even if we’re both logged into Team accounts on the same organization.

This limitation makes it difficult to:

  • Brainstorm together with ChatGPT in real time
  • Collaboratively learn a subject (like language learning or technical skills)
  • Co-work on prompt development or creative writing
  • Use ChatGPT as a facilitator during live team sessions or planning meetings

:light_bulb: What We’d Love to See

We’d love a way for team members to:

  • Join and contribute to the same active thread
  • See a shared history and context
  • Maybe even “tag in” and switch who’s talking, like passing the mic to ChatGPT

Even a lightweight version — like a shared thread with named inputs — would be incredibly powerful and would transform the Team plan from just shared access to true collaborative AI workspaces.


:megaphone: Why Now?

This feels like a natural evolution for Team and Enterprise plans — and the demand is clearly there from many use cases:

  • Remote teams co-working with AI
  • Partners or cofounders working on a product
  • Educational pair learning or mentoring
  • Families learning or exploring together

Thank you for all the amazing progress so far. We love the product — and this feature would unlock the full team potential we imagined when we signed up.
