OpenAI has introduced a new year-end feature for ChatGPT users. The update is called “Your Year with ChatGPT.” It launched on December 22.
The feature gives users a personal summary of how they used ChatGPT in 2025. Many apps now offer year-end recaps, and ChatGPT has joined the trend.
The recap shows usage data in a fun and visual way.

Users can find the recap through a banner in the app or website. They can also ask ChatGPT directly to show it.
The launch has raised privacy questions. OpenAI says the feature is user-controlled. Users can turn off memory and chat history at any time. This will stop future tracking.
Some experts remind users that ChatGPT is not a private diary. Sensitive data should be shared carefully.

The trend raises questions about mental health, emotional safety, and the future of human relationships as AI becomes more personal and present in daily life.
Experts say the issue is growing as AI tools become more caring and responsive.
