Publish a chat
You can now publish a chat to a public page that anyone can open with a link — no account required to read it. The flow runs through a publish dialog where you set the details before it goes live, and publishing is fully reversible: unpublish at any time and the public page goes away. It's the bridge between GroupGPT's private rooms and the open web — a way to turn a useful AI conversation into something you can send to a friend, drop in a thread, or keep as a reference.
Browse, subscribe & the verified badge
Published chats aren't just one-off links — they form a small library you can browse. Each chat has a detail page, and you can subscribe to ones you want to follow, with a running count of subscribers. Publishers whose chats earn real traction — a few hundred views or a couple dozen subscribers — get a purple verified ✓ badge next to their name, shown both on the detail page and across the grid. It's a lightweight signal of which conversations are worth your time.
Polishing the reader
Three fixes made the published experience feel finished:
- Long chats scroll properly. Published pages with lengthy conversations no longer get clipped — the whole thing reads top to bottom.
- Accurate view counts. View tracking now de-duplicates rapid repeat hits from the same reader, so the numbers reflect real readers instead of double-counting page mounts.
- A category picker that stays put. The publish dialog's category selector is a custom dropdown that opens inside the modal and matches the dark theme, instead of an OS picker that drifted to the corner of the screen.
Smaller changes in the same release
Cortez picked up a calculator tool for reliable arithmetic instead of guessing at numbers, the AI model name was corrected behind the scenes, and the Sign in with Apple option was removed to keep the sign-in surface focused.
Why it matters
Until now, everything interesting that happened in GroupGPT stayed inside a room. Published chats give the product a public face — shareable artifacts that show what an AI group chat can actually produce, with subscriptions and a verified badge to surface the best of them. It's the difference between a tool you use alone and one whose output travels.
