ChatGPT Adds Interactive Quizzes and Restaurant Reservation Search
OpenAI has added interactive quizzes to ChatGPT on web and mobile for consumer and Edu plans, while restaurant reservation search is rolling out across ChatGPT plans on mobile, web, and desktop. ChatGPT can use your topic, location, date, party size, and preferences to help with each workflow.
OpenAI has added two practical workflows to ChatGPT: interactive quizzes and restaurant reservation search. The feature drop was surfaced by an approved OpenAI account on X, while OpenAI's release notes and ChatGPT Search guidance provide the durable details. (thsottiaux on X; ChatGPT release notes)
Interactive quizzes in the conversation
You can ask ChatGPT to quiz you on a topic and answer the questions directly in the conversation. OpenAI lists interactive quizzes as available to all consumer ChatGPT plans and Edu plans on web and mobile. (ChatGPT release notes)
The interaction is intentionally simple: instead of asking for a static set of questions, tell ChatGPT what you want to practice and work through the questions in the same thread. That makes it useful for checking recall, reviewing a class topic, or turning a subject you are already discussing into a short practice session.
Restaurant reservations in ChatGPT
ChatGPT can now help find available restaurant reservations through OpenTable, Resy, and Yelp. Include where and when you want to eat, your party size, and preferences such as cuisine, budget, dietary needs, or atmosphere. ChatGPT can show matching reservation times in the response, answer follow-up questions, and let you select a suitable time to book. (ChatGPT release notes; ChatGPT Search)
The experience is rolling out across ChatGPT plans on mobile, web, and desktop. Provider coverage differs by region: OpenTable is available globally, Resy is available in the United States, and Yelp is available in the United States and Canada. Availability still varies by location and partner coverage. (ChatGPT release notes; ChatGPT Search)
| Provider | Where OpenAI says reservations are available |
|---|---|
| OpenTable | Globally |
| Resy | United States |
| Yelp | United States and Canada |
When a restaurant supports reservations through a matching provider, ChatGPT may show a Reserve button. Depending on the experience, it can prefill details such as the party size, date, or time, but you should confirm every detail before booking. If an OpenTable or Yelp reservation requires a credit card, ChatGPT directs you to OpenTable to complete that step. (ChatGPT Search)
Important limits
Restaurant reservation search is available across consumer ChatGPT plans, but OpenAI says it is not available in ChatGPT Work, Enterprise, Edu, or Business. The feature works with GPT-5.6 Sol and GPT-5.6 Luna, and it is not yet supported in voice chats. (ChatGPT Search)
ChatGPT does not save a reservation after it is placed. The confirmation comes from the third-party provider, and cancellations or changes must be handled through that provider rather than inside ChatGPT. ChatGPT may also be unable to show a Reserve button when a restaurant cannot be matched to a supported provider or when availability is not returned. (ChatGPT Search)
How to try the new workflows
For a quiz, ask ChatGPT to quiz you on a specific topic and tell it how you want to practice. You can make the request more useful by naming a level, scope, or format, such as short-answer questions or one question at a time.
For a reservation, include the location, date, time, party size, and any preferences that matter. If the first results are not a fit, ask for an earlier or later time, change the date or party size, adjust the budget, or request similar restaurants. Before selecting Reserve, check the restaurant, provider, date, time, and party size in the booking flow. (ChatGPT Search)
Bottom line
These additions make ChatGPT more useful for two everyday tasks without requiring a separate workflow: practice a subject in an interactive thread, or search for a restaurant time using natural-language constraints. Quizzes are available on web and mobile for consumer and Edu plans, while reservation search is rolling out across mobile, web, and desktop with provider- and region-specific coverage.
