OpenAI is quietly testing a new year-end experience that turns your conversations with ChatGPT into a personalised recap—borrowing the spirit of Spotify Wrapped, but reshaping it for an AI-first world.
Called “Your Year with ChatGPT,” the feature offers users a
visual snapshot of how they interacted with the chatbot over the past year—what
they explored, how intensely they used it, and even how they think with AI.
Who Gets It—and Who Doesn’t
The rollout is intentionally limited. OpenAI says access
depends on a mix of account settings and usage depth, not just subscription
tier.
Eligible: Free, Plus, and Pro users
Required settings:
“Reference saved memories” enabled
“Reference chat history” enabled
A minimum (undisclosed) level of conversation activity
Not eligible: Team, Enterprise, and Education accounts
According to OpenAI, the goal is to keep the experience
optional, lightweight, and user-controlled, ensuring that users opt in rather
than being automatically enrolled.
What the Experience Looks Like
Instead of raw analytics, Your Year with ChatGPT leans into
storytelling through data.
A small pop-up appears on the ChatGPT home screen inviting
users to “Try it.” Once opened, the recap unfolds through bright visuals and
short insights—less dashboard, more highlight reel.
One section, “Your 2025 Chat Stats,” may include:
Total messages sent
Number of chats started
Images generated
Writing quirks detected (yes, even em dashes đź‘€)
AI Gives You a Personality—Sort Of
In true Wrapped fashion, OpenAI adds a playful twist:
AI-generated “awards.”
These titles reflect how you used ChatGPT, not just how
often. Users who brainstormed, debugged ideas, or worked through complex
problems might see a badge like “Creative Debugger,” while others could receive
different titles based on their interaction patterns.
The idea isn’t productivity scoring—it’s self-reflection
with a sense of humor.
Why It Matters
Beyond the fun graphics, Your Year with ChatGPT signals
something bigger: OpenAI is positioning ChatGPT not just as a tool, but as a
long-term personal companion—one worth looking back on.
By keeping the feature privacy-forward and excluding
workplace and education accounts, OpenAI is clearly framing this as a personal,
consumer-facing moment, not a corporate metric.
In short, it’s less about what ChatGPT knows—and more about what you and ChatGPT built together this year.
