OpenAI Pilots Interactive 'Study Together' Mode in ChatGPT

The prototype 'tatertot' appears in the Tools menu for a handful of subscribers as an interactive tutor using quizzes and Socratic prompts with no confirmed rollout or pricing details.

Overview

  • OpenAI has begun limited A/B testing of a new Study Together mode in ChatGPT, visible under the Tools dropdown for select Plus and some free users.
  • The feature, internally codenamed “tatertot,” shifts the chatbot from answering questions to guiding learners through quizzes, exercises and Socratic questioning.
  • Users granted access report that some sessions display messages indicating the tool isn’t fully available yet, underscoring opaque selection criteria.
  • OpenAI has not announced any release timeline, pricing structure or how the mode will scale beyond the current pilot group.
  • The experiment highlights OpenAI’s push into AI-driven tutoring as competitors like Google LearnLM and Anthropic roll out their own education-focused tools.
