OpenAI has launched a new feature called “Your Year with ChatGPT,” giving users a personalised look back at how they interacted with the AI throughout the year. Inspired by popular year-end summaries seen on music and social apps, this feature highlights user activity in a fun and visual way instead of presenting plain data.
The idea is to help users reflect on how ChatGPT became part of their daily life whether for learning, work, creativity, or casual conversations.
Personal Recap of Your ChatGPT Usage
The year-end recap shows different insights based on how a person used ChatGPT. This includes the total number of messages sent, the most active day of chatting, and the general themes discussed during the year. Instead of feeling technical, the summary presents this information in an engaging and easy-to-understand format.
To make the experience more creative, ChatGPT also generates a short poem and a pixel-style image inspired by the user’s conversations. These elements are meant to reflect the user’s interests and chat patterns, making each recap feel unique.
Fun Titles and Chat Personalities
Another interesting part of the feature is the assignment of playful titles or “chat personalities.” Based on usage behaviour, users may receive fun labels that describe how they interact with ChatGPT, such as being analytical, creative, or problem-focused. These titles add a light-hearted touch and make the recap enjoyable rather than purely informational.
How Users Can Access the Feature?
The recap does not appear automatically. Users need to request it by typing something like “Show me my year with ChatGPT” in the chat. In some cases, a banner may also appear on the app or website inviting users to explore their yearly summary.
To access this feature, users must have chat history and memory options enabled. It is also available only to users who have been active on ChatGPT for a sufficient period during the year.
Why This Feature Stands Out?
With “Your Year with ChatGPT,” OpenAI is focusing on making AI interactions feel more personal and relatable. Instead of being just a tool, ChatGPT becomes something users can reflect on as part of their digital journey.
This move also shows how OpenAI is experimenting with creative engagement, turning user data into something meaningful, shareable, and fun. As AI becomes more integrated into everyday life, features like this help users better understand their own habits while strengthening their connection with the platform.
