OpenAI has begun quietly testing a new "Study Together" mode inside ChatGPT, giving a subset of users access to an interface that turns the chatbot into an interactive tutor. The feature, internally codenamed "Tatertot," prompts learners with questions and requires them to supply answers, reversing ChatGPT’s usual role as a straightforward respondent. Early testers report that the tool briefly appeared in the Tools menu on both free and Plus accounts before being withdrawn from some profiles, indicating an A/B experiment rather than a full launch. OpenAI has not disclosed pricing, rollout timing or whether the capability will be bundled with its next-generation GPT-5 model, which Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman has flagged for release later this summer. A successful launch would expand ChatGPT’s foothold in the education market, where Google’s LearnLM and Anthropic’s Claude Learning Mode already offer AI-powered tutoring. With the northern-hemisphere school year approaching, the race to embed generative AI in classrooms is intensifying, and OpenAI’s latest pilot suggests it wants a prominent seat at the desk.
