ChatGPT Introduces Spotify Wrapped-Style Year End Recap

As 2025 draws to a close, OpenAI has rolled out “Your Year with ChatGPT”, a personalized year-end review feature that transforms your interactions with the AI into a delightful, shareable recap, much like Spotify Wrapped, Apple Music Replay, or YouTube Music’s annual summaries.

Launched on December 22, 2025, this optional experience reflects on your 2025 chats, highlighting themes, stats, creative awards, AI-generated poems, pixel art images, and even playful predictions for 2026, turning everyday AI conversations into a reflective, entertaining story.

The feature arrives as AI explosion took nearly every niche of the online world by storm in 2025. It is no miracle that ChatGPT boasts nearly 900 million monthly active users (up from 400 million weekly earlier in the year), with millions relying on it for writing, coding, research, learning, and creative brainstorming.

By packaging usage into a narrative, i.e., top conversation themes, busiest chatting day, total messages sent, chat style analysis, and custom “archetypes” (e.g., “Navigator,” “Tinkerer,” or “Creative Debugger”), OpenAI makes routine queries feel memorable and personal.

Users receive whimsical elements like a short poem inspired by their topics, pixel-style artwork depicting interests (one user got an aquarium next to a game cartridge and Instant Pot), and “awards” celebrating habits.

Eligible users (Free, Plus, Pro plans with chat history/memory enabled and sufficient activity) see a banner on the home screen or trigger it by prompting “Show me my year with ChatGPT.” Rollout began in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, expanding gradually (some regions like India report access for Go/Plus/Pro). Enterprise/Team/Education accounts are excluded for privacy. No auto-launch—it’s user-controlled and privacy-forward.

You can simply ask your ChatGPT chat if you have not yet seen the prompt to check your Year End Review yet.

However, some users have been getting errors when asked for the review, such as:

It may be because the feature is slowly rolling out. TechJuice has not gotten any word regarding when this feature will be available for everyone.

Tech reviewers praised the fun factor: MacRumors noted similarities to Spotify/YouTube recaps; The Verge highlighted pixel art and awards; Business Insider joked about “em-dashes exchanged”; Tom’s Guide shared prompts for custom “Wrapped” extensions (e.g., categorizing prompts into productivity/parenting buckets).

OpenAI taps into the year-end nostalgia, blending utility with delight as more people adopt to an AI world.
