ChatGPT maker OpenAI CEO asks users ‘what should the company build next’; here are the ideas he liked

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently asked his followers on social media what company to build next and/or how to improve in 2025 as he looks to crowdsource ideas to improve OpenAI’s current products, including ChatGPTand even shape future developments.
“What do you want OpenAI to build/fix in 2025?” asked Altman on his X post.

User suggestions like OpenAI CEO

According to OpenAI’s website, ChatGPT is not intended for children under 13 and requires parental consent for users aged 13 to 18, although it does not actively confirm that consent.
In response to Altman’s post, an X user wrote: “Family Accounts. Let me set up accounts for my kids with car guards. Let their curiosity take off, but within reasonable limits as determined by the parent. Maybe we could even gain insight about our kids from their usage!”
“That’s a good idea!” Altman wrote in response to this.

Another user had a suggestion for ChatGPT voice function that allows users to speak directly to the chatbot. The user wrote: “Better turn detection for voice chat. It’s a shame you can’t just quietly think for 5 seconds without being interrupted.”
“Good point,” Altman replied.

Meanwhile, a third user mentioned: “Just low sora really good.”
Altman replied: “Coming.”

Apart from this, other users also encouraged OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to improve Sora, the text-to-video model that generates videos based on written prompts. After a pilot phase in February with a limited group of creators, Sora launched earlier this month.
According to Rohan Sahai, Sora’s product manager, this model aims to balance creative expression with protection against issues like copyright infringement.
This move for proposals comes after a turbulent year for OpenAI, marked by both significant achievements and legal battles. Despite a lawsuit from former board member and co-founder Elon Musk (filed, withdrawn and then re-filed with allegations of fraud), OpenAI secured a $6.6 billion funding round in October, boosting the company’s valuation to $157 billion.
