OpenAI has rolled out an exciting new feature on ChatGPT to make the AI more friendly, human-like, and flexible.
Known as ChatGPT Personalities, this feature allows users to change the AI’s conversational style instantly.
The launch comes at a time when Google’s Gemini 3 is gaining attention in the AI world.
With this update, OpenAI aims to provide more customization and comfort for users in India.
What Are ChatGPT Personalities?
ChatGPT Personalities let users switch the AI’s tone without typing long instructions.
Many users in India are now seeing a pop-up message on the ChatGPT web that says, “Try a new personality for ChatGPT”, allowing instant changes in style.
The goal is to make conversations more natural, warm, and fun.
Rather than sounding robotic or repetitive, ChatGPT will now reflect user preferences through these personalities.
Powered by GPT-5.1
Earlier versions of ChatGPT using GPT-5 were often seen as distant or cold. With GPT-5.1, OpenAI has improved the conversational approach.
Now, the selected personality stays consistent even during long chat sessions, creating a smoother and more engaging experience.
The 8 New Personalities
Users in India can now choose from 8 different personalities:
Default
Professional
Friendly
Candid
Quirky
Efficient
Nerdy
Cynical
Each personality changes the tone, style, and mood of ChatGPT’s responses to match user preference.
A Response to Google Gemini 3
One of the reasons behind launching ChatGPT Personalities is the growing popularity of Google Gemini 3, which is integrated into Google apps and services.
Trends like the “Nano Banana” have also made Gemini more familiar to the public, prompting OpenAI to innovate further.
With these personalities, OpenAI is making ChatGPT not just smarter, but also more human, interactive, and personalized for users in India.
