OpenAI’s upcoming “Study Together” feature for ChatGPT continues to gain momentum, with recent code updates confirming a dedicated mode designed for students and those needing help with coursework. This feature is intended to assist users with homework, clarify topics, and provide broader study support. Upon activation, users are presented with context-aware prompt suggestions such as generating quizzes, where the assistant requests input on subject, question count, and difficulty before delivering both questions and answers. Notably, the current implementation displays answers immediately and lacks polished formatting, suggesting that UI and workflow improvements are still in progress.
The primary audience for this update includes students, educators, and self-learners who require on-demand study aids. By making these tools accessible directly within ChatGPT, OpenAI aims to offer a seamless environment for academic support, potentially reducing reliance on multiple platforms or third-party study apps. The competitive landscape is active, with similar educational initiatives underway at Google (Gemini) and Anthropic (Claude), but evidence suggests OpenAI’s release may arrive first.
On the desktop side, new elements have surfaced, indicating continued work on record mode. OpenAI is testing features where users can view live transcriptions as recordings progress, which is particularly valuable for meeting or lecture documentation. In parallel, initial traces of calendar app integration are being developed, hinting that meeting recordings could soon be automatically linked to scheduled events—streamlining organisation for professionals and students alike.
These updates fit OpenAI’s broader product strategy of making ChatGPT a versatile assistant for both daily productivity and education. If successful, these additions could shift more academic and professional workflows into the ChatGPT ecosystem, making it a central hub for information management, scheduling, and study support. The timeline for full rollout remains unspecified, but the pace of development points to a release in the near future.
