Recently, ChatGPT users began noticing a new tool on the platform called "Study Together." This move by OpenAI signals the company’s direction towards promoting a more interactive and participatory use of its platform in the educational field.

How the Feature Works and Future Expectations
This feature does not provide direct answers as usual; instead, it guides questions back to the user, encouraging them to respond. This approach simulates active learning, making the tool more like a teacher or study partner rather than just a quick answer engine. Some users expect that the feature may later support multiple users joining a group study session, but it is still in its experimental stages. OpenAI has not officially announced its availability or plans to release it to all users or subscribers on paid plans.
ChatGPT and Education: A New Context and Intense Competition
This feature arrives at a time when ChatGPT has become a popular tool in educational circles, used by teachers to prepare lessons and by students for studying or even completing assignments, which has sparked wide debate about its impact on academic learning. The feature may be OpenAI’s response to Google’s educational initiative "LearnLM," which also aims to make AI more effective in learning and study processes. This growing trend reflects new competition among major AI companies over the future of smart education. The new feature could be an attempt to steer AI use toward positive educational practices and reduce opportunities for cheating or misuse.
