TREE NEWS update: OpenAI said its teen-focused ChatGPT will soon add a college planning tool to help students start the college application process. Teens using the service send on average 2.7 million more study-related messages than non-users, and they spend under 15 minutes a day on ChatGPT, with fewer than 2% using it continuously for more than three hours.
OpenAI to Launch College Planning Tool in Teen ChatGPT
The college planning tool is a narrow addition, but it signals OpenAI positioning its teen product as a guided companion for high-stakes decisions, not just homework help. The usage figures already suggest teens treat the service as a study utility rather than an always-on habit, which makes the planning feature an extension of existing behavior. The open question is whether schools and parents accept AI-mediated college guidance or push back over data and influence.
