OpenAI has introduced a new personalised experience for ChatGPT users with the launch of ‘Your Year with ChatGPT’, a feature designed to help individuals reflect on how they have used the AI platform over the past year.
The new feature presents users with a tailored summary highlighting key interaction themes, common use cases, and notable moments from their conversations with ChatGPT. It mirrors the growing trend of annual digital recaps popularised by music streaming and social media platforms, offering users a snapshot of their activity in an engaging, reflective format.
According to OpenAI, the Year in Review experience is intended to showcase the breadth of ways people use ChatGPT, from learning and productivity to creative writing, career development, and problem-solving. The feature aims to help users better understand their habits while demonstrating how AI tools are becoming more embedded in everyday digital life.
Privacy has been positioned as a core consideration in the rollout. OpenAI states that the summaries are generated automatically and are only visible to the individual user, with no public sharing by default. Users also retain control over their data through existing ChatGPT privacy and history settings.

The rollout comes as ChatGPT continues to expand its global user base and introduce more personalised capabilities. Over the past year, OpenAI has focused heavily on customisation, memory features, and improved contextual understanding, signalling a broader shift towards AI systems that adapt more closely to individual user needs.
‘Your Year with ChatGPT’ is being made available gradually to users, with access appearing directly within the ChatGPT interface. The feature underscores OpenAI’s strategy of deepening user engagement while framing AI not just as a utility, but as a long-term digital companion for work, learning, and creativity.
As competition in the AI assistant market intensifies, personalised experiences such as this may become a key differentiator, reinforcing user loyalty and highlighting the evolving role of conversational AI in everyday digital experiences. aicareers.ng
