TL;DR ChatGPT has rolled out a Spotify-style “Your Year with ChatGPT” recap in the US and select regions for users with chat history and memory enabled.
The recap highlights your biggest themes, usage stats, and chat style through a multi-page, interactive experience.
It is fun and insightful, but for heavy users, it can also double as an unexpected reality check.
ChatGPT has now rolled out its own end-of-year wrap-up here in the US and a few other select regions, taking obvious inspiration from services like Spotify.

That said, I heard about the wrap-up and was curious enough that I had to check it out. It was the third page in the recap that really made me weep for my wasted life, though.
