Hi AI Futurists,

ChatGPT Wrapped
ChatGPT now has its own version of Spotify Wrapped, called “Your Year with ChatGPT,” and it’s rolling out to eligible users in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand. The feature gives people a visual, personalized recap of how they used ChatGPT over the year, complete with graphics, playful “awards,” a custom poem, and an AI-generated image. TechCrunch reports that access depends on having chat history and saved memory features turned on, plus meeting a minimum usage threshold, and it’s available across free, Plus, and Pro plans, but not Team, Enterprise, or Education accounts.
The experience is positioned as optional and privacy-forward, meaning nothing pops up automatically and users stay in control. Like Spotify Wrapped, the goal is to make data about your own behavior feel reflective and fun, rather than analytical. OpenAI said the feature is designed to be “lightweight,” and it lives on both the web and mobile apps, or can be triggered by directly asking ChatGPT for it. Sam Altman has said that AI tools should feel “personal and useful over time,” and this feature leans directly into that idea.
What stands out is how normal it’s becoming to reflect on a year spent with an AI, not just apps or music. Seeing creativity, problem-solving, and curiosity turned into a recap hints at a future where work habits, learning, and even identity are shaped alongside machines, not separately from them.
Takeaways at a Glance:
Available to free, Plus, and Pro users in select English-speaking markets
Requires chat history and memory features to be enabled
Uses awards, visuals, poems, and images to summarize usage
Designed to be optional, privacy-aware, and lightweight
What We Think About It:
This is less about novelty and more about normalization. OpenAI is testing how reflective UX can deepen attachment to AI tools. It also hints at how usage data can be reframed as personal narrative, not metrics.
What You Can Do Right Now:
Take a few minutes to look at how you actually used AI this year. It’s an easy way to notice patterns in what you’re curious about, stressed about, or trying to improve, whether that’s work, money, learning, or creativity.
Use the recap as a reset. If ChatGPT helped you think more clearly, learn faster, or create more, that’s a hint that small habits with AI can quietly add up over time, especially when you use it as a thinking partner instead of just a shortcut.
