OpenAI brings a College Planner and new study tools to ChatGPT for Teens
OpenAI says College Planner is coming to ChatGPT for Teens to help students manage their college applications. The update also adds flashcards, quizzes, and a teen AI council that gives young users a voice in the product.
OpenAI has announced on its official blog that College Planner is coming to ChatGPT for Teens, a feature designed to help students manage their college applications.
Alongside the application planner, the company is adding study tools including flashcards and quizzes, giving students a way to review material and test themselves inside ChatGPT.
OpenAI is also creating a teen AI council, a group of young users meant to weigh in on how the product is designed and used.
Taken together, the updates position ChatGPT less as a pure question-and-answer tool and more as a platform that spans studying and planning, rather than stopping at conversation.
Because these features are aimed at minors, the rollout also puts a spotlight on how OpenAI balances new capabilities with safety and privacy safeguards.
College applications are one of the most stressful and concentrated tasks for high schoolers, and targeting that moment could push ChatGPT deeper into education and admissions support.
The blog describes College Planner as coming soon, so its exact feature boundaries, launch timing, and privacy protections are still to be detailed.
What to watch next: the real scope of College Planner, how the new study tools are used, and how the teen AI council shapes product decisions.
Why it matters
The move pushes ChatGPT further into education and creates a new test case for extending AI features to minors while keeping safety and compliance intact.

The report also found 211 scans labeled “claude,” but the researchers concluded the fleet was almost certainly not Claude, since the code matches Chinese models.
