From Prompts to Poems — How OpenAI Is Gamifying AI Memory
-

“Your Year with ChatGPT” marks a subtle but important shift in how OpenAI positions its flagship product. The feature transforms raw interaction data into poems, images, and usage-based ‘titles’, giving users a narrative of how they relied on AI throughout the year.
Only users with chat history and memory features enabled — and who meet a minimum activity threshold — can access the recap. Enterprise, Education, and Team accounts are excluded, reinforcing that this is a consumer-first engagement play. By blending personalization with strong user control, OpenAI is testing how far people are comfortable letting AI reflect back their digital habits — without crossing privacy red lines.
