OpenAI launches Your Year with ChatGPT recap, mirroring Spotify Wrapped for AI chatbot users

ChatGPT Gets Spotify Wrapped-Style Year-End Review

Hailing from Texas, Imad started his journalism career in 2013 and has amassed bylines with The New York Times, The Washington Post, ESPN, Tom's Guide and Wired, among others. 'Tis the season for year-end recaps from the online services you frequent. The latest entry: Your Year with ChatGPT, a look back at your interactions with the AI chatbot, in the spirit of Spotify Wrapped. Available now in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand for all users across the web and mobile devices, it looks at your queries to pull together the biggest themes and curiosities in a pastel-colored package. Your Year with ChatGPT also gives awards with certain attributes and ranks them in various archetypes against other ChatGPT users. For example, I got an inventor award and recognition as a "navigator" archetype, which accounts for 22.9% of users. That makes sense, given how much time I spent investigating how ChatGPT functions, both as a thing itself and in comparison with other chatbots like Claude and Gemini. I do some serious stress-testing of these AI tools. The year-end review also generated an AI image of all my interests. To get a Your Year with ChatGPT, you have to have "reference saved memories" and "reference chat history" turned on. You also needed to use ChatGPT a minimum number of times to trigger the feature. Your Year with ChatGPT isn't available for Team, Enterprise or Education accounts. ChatGPT maker OpenAI is following in the well-trod footsteps of year-end reviews from other tech companies. Spotify Wrapped is the buzziest, with users eager to sharing their results on social media. It's prompted some creators to film their own parody wrapped videos showcasing their dismal dating lives. YouTube too latched onto the trend with Recap, showcasing the creators that users watched most throughout the year and where they landed against all viewers. Other end-of-year rewinds include Google Search, Google Photos, Apple Music, PlayStation and Steam.

ChatGPT launches its version of Spotify Wrapped - how to get your year-end review

You can only reference saved memories and chat history if you are signed up. With less than two weeks left in the year, OpenAI is launching a new recap experience called Your Year with ChatGPT, which provides insight into your interactions with the chatbot over the past year. The Spotify Wrapped-like experience, launched on Monday, presents users with high-level themes of their ChatGPT interactions, as shown in the image at the top of the article. OpenAI said the experience was "designed to be lightweight, privacy-forward, and user-controlled." It is available to all users, including those with free accounts. All users need to do is open ChatGPT on iOS, Android, or the web to have the experience automatically triggered. If it doesn't appear, users can trigger the experience themselves by asking ChatGPT for "Your Year with ChatGPT." (Disclosure: Ziff Davis, ZDNET's parent company, filed an April 2025 lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.) Also: How well does ChatGPT know you? These simple prompts can reveal a lot There is a caveat. For the experience to work, you need to have had Reference saved memories and Reference chat history enabled. If you, like me, have these features disabled due to privacy concerns, you will receive an error message stating that you need to enable these features to access the recap, as it requires the ability to reference your past conversations. If you used Temporary Chat, that content will also not be included within the recap experience. You can still turn Memory on and access your own personalized recap, but this may take some time to fully appear, as it needs content to reference. If you don't see it and have it turned on, it could be because the feature is still being rolled out to you, you haven't reached the minimum activity threshold, you are using a Team Enterprise or Education account, or you live in an unsupported country, OpenAI said. Beyond this experience, there are other ways you can learn about what ChatGPT knows about you. For example, people have been using simple prompts to get ChatGPT to provide them with an analysis of their character, chatting patterns, growth, and more. The more you talk with the chatbot, the more insightful the analysis will be, as it has more data on you.

OpenAI's "Your Year with ChatGPT" recap is rolling out now

Ever since end-of-year recap season began this year, one thing I've seen consistently across all social media platforms is people asking for a ChatGPT Wrapped. Given that practically every service the average person uses ended up launching a year-in-review, it only makes sense that people would want a recap for the one AI that's been part of nearly every conversation this year. While many have attempted to make their own using specific prompts, OpenAI has officially stepped in and announced its first-ever Spotify Wrapped-style review: Your Year with ChatGPT. OpenAI launches its first year-in-review for ChatGPT As noted in ChatGPT's release notes, OpenAI is rolling out its personalized end-of-year recap: Your Year with ChatGPT. The experience is designed to help users reflect on how they interacted with ChatGPT throughout the year and will highlight high-level themes from your conversations. The review will also include statistics about your ChatGPT usage throughout the year. Like other end-of-year recaps we've seen this year, ChatGPT's take adds a quirky and creative spin. It includes a "Your Year in Poetry" page, which generates a short poem based on your interests and conversation history. Another way OpenAI is personalizing the recap is by giving out "awards" based on your ChatGPT usage. To be able to view Your Year with ChatGPT, you will need to have both Memory and Reference Chat History features turned on. You'll also need to meet a minimum activity threshold, which OpenAI doesn't seem to have publicly disclosed. OpenAI explains that if you don't meet this threshold and have limited activity, you'll only be able to see "basic chat statistics." This experience is currently only available in English in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. TechCrunch explains that while you'll be able to find the recap within the ChatGPT app, "it won't be forced on users or opened automatically." You can also access it by tapping the plus (+) sign when you're in a ChatGPT thread and then asking ChatGPT to "show me my year with ChatGPT." The Your Year with ChatGPT recap is rolling out gradually throughout the day and will be available to Free, Plus, and Pro users on both the mobile and web experience. If you're on a Business, Enterprise, or Edu plan, you unfortunately will not have access to this feature.

OpenAI is rolling out a Spotify Wrapped-style recap for ChatGPT users

Karandeep Singh Oberoi is a Durham College Journalism and Mass Media graduate who joined the Android Police team in April 2024, after serving as a full-time News Writer at Canadian publication MobileSyrup. Prior to joining Android Police, Oberoi worked on feature stories, reviews, evergreen articles, and focused on 'how-to' resources. Additionally, he informed readers about the latest deals and discounts with quick hit pieces and buyer's guides for all occasions. Oberoi lives in Toronto, Canada. When not working on a new story, he likes to hit the gym, play soccer (although he keeps calling it football for some reason🤔) and try out new restaurants in the Greater Toronto Area. The year-end recap trend has finally reached the one place that it previously hadn't -- the world of generative AI. The tool that took the world by storm late in 2022, OpenAI's ChatGPT, has released a yearly recap that not only explores the chats and ideas that shaped your year, but also quantifies your total chats, messages sent, images generated, and more.

My yearly recap is visible on the web and on the ChatGPT mobile app. If available for you, the ChatGPT interface will highlight a "Your Year with ChatGPT" banner right at the bottom. Tap on the banner (mobile) or the accompanying 'Try it' button to trigger the recap. Although I don't use ChatGPT much, the recap did tell me that I was one of the first 0.1 percent of users to try out the AI chatbot in its early days. The recap also told me the number of em dashes ChatGPT and I have exchanged, my chattiest day this year, and more! Not available to every ChatGPT user The app also generates a custom poem to describe your year, complete with your 'chat style,' an award, an archetype, and a unique image summarizing your year.

ChatGPT now offers a year-in-review -- 7 prompts to turn it into a 'Wrapped'

With a few smart prompts, you can turn it into a deeply personal, surprisingly revealing ChatGPT Wrapped With so many apps offering some kind of year-end review, it only makes sense for OpenAI to drop one, too. Today, ChatGPT quietly rolled out a built-in year-end recap called Your Year with ChatGPT. If you've used ChatGPT regularly and have had your memory enabled all year, you may have already seen it. The recap is a curated snapshot of how you interacted with ChatGPT over the past year. It highlights broad themes, usage patterns and moments meant to reflect how the AI supported your work, creativity or daily life. It's essentially ChatGPT's version of a highlight reel or Spotify's Wrapped. Although interesting and genuinely well done -- mine started off with a poem -- it's also limited. You can't customize categories or separate work from personal life, and you don't see how your prompting has evolved. So after reading my recap, I did what any curious power user would do: I asked ChatGPT to go deeper. With the right prompts, that high-level recap turns into something much closer to a true ChatGPT Wrapped -- complete with stats, habits, highlights, chaos and even goals for next year. Here's how to do it: Start with this prompt to set the tone and pull everything together. Prompt: Analyze my queries from this year and create a fun 'ChatGPT Wrapped' summary. Include categories like my top topics, most-used prompt style, funniest question, most chaotic question, most productive session, and any surprising habits you find. Format it like a Spotify Wrapped slide deck. This expands the official recap into something far more personal. Instead of generic themes, you get insight into how you actually used ChatGPT -- and what that says about you. I love seeing some of my favorite prompts. In one slide, ChatGPT showed me a few of the funniest ones. If the first prompt gives you vibes, this one gives you data. Prompt: Look at my overall conversation patterns this year and categorize my prompts into buckets (ex: productivity, AI testing, personal life, journalism, parenting, creative writing, budgeting, etc.). Rank them by frequency and give me percentages. This is where things get eye-opening. Many people assume ChatGPT is mostly a work tool -- until they see how often it shows up in their personal life, late-night brainstorming or stress spirals (guilty!). It was really interesting to see how I use ChatGPT broken up into percentages. One of the most overlooked parts of using AI is that you get better at it. Prompt: Compare the way I prompted ChatGPT at the beginning of the year vs. now. What patterns, skills, or sophistication changed? Highlight what I'm better at, what became more efficient, and what new behaviors emerged. ChatGPT can identify changes in clarity, structure, confidence and efficiency -- essentially mapping your AI learning curve over the year. This is a great way to see how you've improved your prompts over the year. This is where the recap gets entertaining. Prompt: Based on my interactions, list 10 standout moments: smartest, funniest, most unhinged, most emotional, most technical, most mom-life, most Tom's Guide-worthy, biggest win, biggest surprise, and one moment that deserves its own award. If ChatGPT was there for big wins, bad days or your toughest questions you'd never Google, this prompt captures all of it in one scrollable list. This prompt scratches the same itch as screen-time summaries or fitness recaps. Prompt: Create a stats page with things like: total estimated prompts, longest streak, busiest day/time of year, my signature prompt style, topics I revisited, and the weirdest rabbit hole I went down. Some numbers are estimated, but the patterns are accurate enough to feel strangely validating -- and sometimes humbling. This prompt goes beyond stats and summaries. Prompt: Write a narrative summary of my year using ChatGPT -- almost like a memoir chapter. Highlight themes, recurring challenges I brought up, projects I completed, and the overall arc of my AI usage. Instead of isolated moments, you get a narrative. Stress, creativity, productivity, curiosity -- it all gets woven into a story the official recap doesn't attempt to tell. Finally, use everything you've learned to look forward. Prompt: Analyze my behaviors and suggest creative, productivity, wellness, writing, and AI-related goals for next year. Make them actionable, realistic, and tailored to the patterns you see. Because these goals are based on how you actually used ChatGPT, they're far more realistic than generic New Year's resolutions. ChatGPT's Year in Review is pretty good, but if you want to make it even better and more personal, these prompts help explain how you think, why you use AI the way you do and what changed over the year. If ChatGPT played any role in your work, creativity or personal life in 2025, this is one of the most revealing ways to look back -- and one of the easiest experiments you can try before the year ends.

It presents summary stats and quirky awards based on user activity OpenAI announced the Your Year in Review feature for ChatGPT on Tuesday. Inspired by Spotify Wrapped, it is a personalised year-in-review experience for the app, which highlights the recurring themes from the conversations users have had with the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot throughout the year.

Your Year With ChatGPT is available to Free, Plus, and Pro users of the app. OpenAI said that it is rolling out in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, and the US. However, Gadgets 360 can confirm that it is visible to ChatGPT users in India, too, via the aforementioned methods.
