OpenAI is rolling out a Spotify Wrapped-style year-end summary for ChatGPT users. The feature called “Your Year with ChatGPT” gives users a personalized look back at how they interacted with the AI chatbot throughout 2025.
The feature is now live in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. Other English-speaking markets may get access in the coming weeks.
Who Can Access the Feature?
OpenAI made the year-end review available to Free, Plus, and Pro plan subscribers. However, users need to meet certain requirements to unlock the experience.
First, you must have “reference saved memories” and “reference chat history” options enabled in your settings. These features allow ChatGPT to remember details from previous conversations and build context over time.
Second, you need to hit a minimum conversation activity threshold. OpenAI didn’t specify the exact number, but casual users who only chatted a few times may not qualify.
Team, Enterprise, and Education accounts are excluded from this rollout. OpenAI confirmed this decision to TechCrunch, stating the feature is designed for individual consumers rather than business users.
The company emphasized that the experience is “lightweight, privacy-forward, and user-controlled.” Users can choose whether to view their recap or skip it entirely.

How Does Your Year with ChatGPT Work?
The feature draws heavy inspiration from Spotify Wrapped, which became a cultural phenomenon by turning user data into shareable content. OpenAI applies the same formula to AI interactions.
When you open the recap, you’ll see catchy graphics and animations highlighting your ChatGPT usage patterns. The experience includes personalized “awards” based on your conversation history.
For instance, if you frequently used ChatGPT to debug code or brainstorm creative solutions, you might earn the “Creative Debugger” badge. Problem solvers, writers, researchers, and curious minds all get their own recognition.
The feature goes beyond simple statistics. ChatGPT generates a custom poem summarizing your year based on the topics you explored most. It also creates a unique AI-generated image reflecting your interests and conversations.
This personalized touch sets it apart from basic analytics dashboards. Instead of dry numbers, users get an artistic interpretation of their AI journey.

Where to Find Your Year-End Review
The recap is available across all ChatGPT platforms. You can access it on the web app at chatgpt.com, the iOS app, and the Android app.
OpenAI will promote the feature on the ChatGPT home screen during the holiday season. However, the company confirmed it won’t force the experience on users. The recap won’t open automatically or interrupt your workflow.
If you don’t see the promotion, you can trigger the experience manually. Simply type “Your Year with ChatGPT” in the chat box and the AI will generate your personalized recap.
Why This Matters for OpenAI
The year-end review represents OpenAI’s push to increase user engagement and build emotional connections with ChatGPT. Spotify Wrapped proved that turning user data into shareable content drives massive social media buzz every December.
OpenAI likely hopes users will share their ChatGPT recaps on social platforms, generating organic marketing and attracting new users. The feature also reinforces the value of ChatGPT’s memory features, encouraging users to keep those settings enabled.
As AI chatbots compete for user attention, personalized experiences like this could become standard practice across the industry. Features that make users feel understood and valued tend to boost retention and loyalty over time.
