ChatGPT's attempt at Spotify Wrapped is more embarrassing than any song list

• ChatGPT has launched a year-end recap called “Your Year with ChatGPT.”
• The feature is designed to mimic the experience of Spotify Wrapped, but for your history with ChatGPT.
• The recap includes personalized awards, poems, and pixel art based on your 2025 chats.

ChatGPT has officially joined the retrospective parade held each December, releasing its own version of Spotify Wrapped, called “Your Year with ChatGPT.” The recap visualizes how you interacted with the chatbot throughout 2025, with some humor mixed in the statistics. It’s now available to eligible users in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

If you've had ChatGPT's chat history and memory features toggled on and interacted with the AI assistant often enough, you'll have the opportunity to see what your year with the AI looked like from the other end.

You might see a button for it on the homepage, or you can write “/Your Year with ChatGPT” as a prompt.

Your Year with ChatGPT isn't too extravagant, but it does leverage ChatGPT's various capabilities. There's a customized poem, an award based on your interactions, and even a personality archetype that you can compare to others.

For instance, I was the Navigator, with other options including Creative Debugger and Visionary Voyager.

ChatGPT Wrapped

While the format draws clear inspiration from Spotify Wrapped, this version leans more into personality mapping than ranking or comparison. ChatGPT has some percentage comparisons that are interesting. I was apparently among the first 0.7% of ChatGPT users ever and sent more than 8,000 messages this year.

The emotional angle, with stylized characters and pictures illustrating how, for example, you're often testing out AI models and comparing them, is clever. The experience functions as a visceral illustration of how much and in what ways you might use ChatGPT, especially if you haven't been keeping count of every conversation. You might not remember how often you asked ChatGPT to summarize a meeting transcript, explain a Supreme Court decision, or act as an imaginary dungeon master, but the recap does.

OpenAI's documentation emphasizes that this is an opt-in tool and doesn't use things like deleted chats to design the recap. That’s a big contrast to more opaque, data-driven experiences in some other apps. It's why jokes like the "Uber Eats Wrapped" sketch on Saturday Night Live hit so hard. Nobody wants an algorithm that feels like it knows more than it should.

It also hints at how OpenAI may be thinking about future engagement: less like a tool, more like a companion. “Your Year with ChatGPT” doesn’t just ask how you used the model. It asks what kind of person that makes you — a question more philosophical than it seems, and one that’s unlikely to be answered by bar charts alone.

And just like Spotify, Duolingo, or even Google Maps, ChatGPT is now positioning itself as a part of your life story. But as much as your listening habits might make you cringe, or your music age might say you're ancient, at least it doesn't write a poem about how you are constantly an early tester of new AI features.
