OpenAI is rolling out “Your Year with ChatGPT,” an annual review feature for its ChatGPT chatbot, to eligible consumers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand. The feature draws from Spotify Wrapped and requires specific user settings and activity levels.
The annual review targets users on free, Plus, and Pro plans. Access depends on enabling the “reference saved memories” and “reference chat history” options. Users must also reach a minimum conversation activity threshold, as stated by the company to TechCrunch via email. This setup ensures the feature activates only for accounts with sufficient interaction history and privacy preferences aligned.
Team, Enterprise, and Education accounts cannot access “Your Year with ChatGPT.” These organizational plans operate under different data handling and access protocols, excluding them from the consumer-oriented review process.
OpenAI characterizes the experience as lightweight, privacy-forward, and user-controlled, according to the company. This design prioritizes minimal data processing, respects user privacy settings, and allows individuals to initiate or manage the review at their discretion.
Like Spotify Wrapped, the feature employs catchy graphics tailored to individual usage patterns. It personalizes content by issuing “awards” that reflect specific ChatGPT interactions throughout the year. For example, the “Creative Debugger” award goes to users who employed the chatbot to generate solutions for problems or to explore and refine concepts and ideas.
In addition to awards, the review produces a custom poem capturing the user’s primary topics of interest over the year. It also generates a corresponding image that visually represents those same topics, providing a creative summary of conversational themes.
The year-end wrap-up appears as a promotion on the ChatGPT app’s home screen without forcing activation or automatic opening. Users encounter it optionally during navigation. Availability spans the ChatGPT web app as well as iOS and Android mobile apps, the company says. Alternatively, individuals can prompt ChatGPT directly with the phrase “Your Year with ChatGPT” to launch the experience immediately.
