  • OpenAI released a 2025 user rundown called "Your Year with ChatGPT."
  • The feature tells users which day they talked with the AI chatbot the most, how many em-dashes they used, and offers awards.
  • ChatGPT is one of many apps giving out year-end recaps, including Spotify, LinkedIn and Uber.

ChatGPT doesn't want to be left out of the "Wrapped" party that Spotify popularized. So say hello to "Your Year with ChatGPT."

OpenAI launched the new retrospective on its app on Monday, informing users about the top themes of their chats, the number of messages they have sent, and the awards they have earned.

It'll even generate some pixel art that depicts some of the your themes.

The recap is available in the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. To see it, click the plus button in the app and ask, "Show me my year with ChatGPT."

It's available to Free, Pro, and Plus users, but not those with a business or enterprise account. (So for those with ChatGPT accounts through your work, you likely won't be able to brag to your boss about your ChatGPT stats.)

Your Year with ChatGPT!

Now rolling out to everyone in the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia who have reference saved memory and reference chat history turned on.

OpenAI joins the many companies that are rolling out user rundowns for 2025. Alongside the common streamer packages from Spotify and Apple Music, there are recaps this year from LinkedIn, Uber, Dunkin', Snapchat, Strava, Partiful, and more.

All these apps promise to show you what you've been up to for the past year — perhaps lightly roasting you in the process.

ChatGPT's rundown begins with a piece of poetry, followed by the three most prominent themes, based on the user's chat history. Then it gets into the statistics.

Users can learn how many messages they sent, their total number of chats, and their chattiest day. They can also see how many em-dashes have been exchanged throughout the chats, a figure ChatGPT often uses.

Next, the user can learn about their chat style. This is a measure of tone: ChatGPT told me that I spoke "casually, wryly, and directly."

Then come the awards and accolades. ChatGPT awarded me the "Most Likely to Google, 'Is this Flight Worth It?'" It's a bit ironic — I wouldn't Google that, I'd ask ChatGPT.

My archetype was determined to be the tinkerer, a title given to 8.5% of users. The title meant I learned by trying, and that I used ChatGPT to experiment.

OpenAI has improved its image and video creation models, recently rolling out Sora 2. The recap features an AI-generated piece of pixel art inspired by the year. I asked mine about moving to Brooklyn; it included a matcha.

Other features are more interactive. Want to learn what your 2026 has in store? You'll have to wipe away the "mists of mystery" (which looks more like heaps of snow) to learn your fate. Reload the page, and you'll see another fortune.

With that, ChatGPT's recap comes to a close, but not before sharing an inspiring message.

"Across all the drafts, questions, and rabbit holes, you found a place to work things out," it said. "And that's no small thing."
