ChatGPT has introduced its own version of the popular year-end review, mirroring the format of Spotify Wrapped. Dubbed “Your Year with ChatGPT,” this new feature offers users a personalized look back at their interactions with the AI throughout 2025. It aims to provide insights into usage patterns through a blend of statistics, personalized awards, and creative content.
The “Your Year with ChatGPT” recap is now accessible to eligible users in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. To qualify, users must have had their chat history and memory features enabled and have engaged with the AI assistant a sufficient number of times over the past year.
Users can discover their personalized recap by looking for a dedicated button on the homepage or by typing the prompt “/Your Year with ChatGPT.” The feature leverages ChatGPT’s capabilities to generate a customized poem, an award reflecting individual usage, and even assign a personality archetype to the user.
While drawing clear inspiration from Spotify Wrapped, ChatGPT’s approach emphasizes personality mapping and self-reflection rather than simple rankings or comparisons. It presents interesting percentage-based statistics, such as a user being among the first 0.7% of ChatGPT users ever and sending over 8,000 messages within the year.
The recap employs a more emotional and illustrative style, using stylized characters and pixel art to visualize user interactions. For instance, it might depict a user frequently testing AI models and comparing their performance, offering a more visceral understanding of their engagement with the AI.
OpenAI has stressed that “Your Year with ChatGPT” is an opt-in tool and does not utilize deleted chats for its data. This contrasts with some other applications where data collection practices can be perceived as more intrusive, addressing concerns highlighted by public discourse around data privacy.
This initiative suggests a potential shift in how OpenAI views user engagement, moving beyond a purely functional tool to a more personalized and companion-like experience. The feature probes not just how the model was used, but also what kind of user that usage might imply.
By positioning itself as a part of a user’s life story, much like music streaming services or language learning apps, ChatGPT is seeking to deepen its connection with its audience. While some users might find their music tastes embarrassing, ChatGPT’s recap delves into a more personal, and potentially revealing, aspect of their digital life.
