ChatGPT Launches Annual Review ‘Your Year With ChatGPT’ in U.S. and Other Markets

Introducing a New Year-End Experience

OpenAI’s ChatGPT, available at openai.com, has unveiled a novel, annual review feature, “Your Year With ChatGPT.” Modeled on the widely popular Spotify Wrapped, this new offering provides select users with a personalized look back at their interactions with the AI over the past year.

Global Availability and Eligibility

The feature is currently rolling out in the United States and in other major English-speaking markets, including Canada, the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand. It is available to users across the Free, Plus, and Pro subscription tiers who have enabled both the “reference saved memories” and “reference chat history” settings. Additionally, users must meet a minimum threshold of conversation activity to qualify for this experience.

User-Focused Design and Privacy

True to OpenAI’s commitment to privacy and user control, the experience is designed to be lightweight and privacy-forward. Notably, accounts associated with team, enterprise, or educational use are exempt from this feature, ensuring the review remains a personal and individualized experience.

A Personalized Retrospective

Much like Spotify Wrapped, “Your Year With ChatGPT” employs engaging graphics and customized insights. Users will receive a series of personalized awards—such as the “Creative Debugger” for those who leveraged ChatGPT to solve complex problems or explore innovative ideas—accompanied by a poem and a curated image reflective of their unique interactions.

Seamless Integration and Future Prospects

The annual review will be prominently featured on the ChatGPT app’s home screen, yet its engagement is strictly user-initiated. The experience is accessible via both the ChatGPT web application and mobile apps on iOS and Android. Users can also prompt the review directly by asking ChatGPT for “Your Year With ChatGPT.”

Looking Ahead

As consumers increasingly seek innovative ways to interact with technology, features like this not only enhance user engagement but also reinforce OpenAI’s position as a leader in AI-driven experiences. With continued improvements and potential expansions—such as emerging adult content features in future iterations—ChatGPT is poised to redefine personal digital retrospectives in the coming years.

Cyprus Hits Historic Tourism Peak As Overtourism Risks Mount

Record-Breaking Performance In Tourism

Cyprus’ tourism sector achieved unprecedented success in 2025 with record-breaking arrivals and revenues. According to Eurobank analyst Konstantinos Vrachimis, the island’s performance was underpinned by solid real income growth and enhanced market diversification.

Robust Growth In Arrivals And Revenues

Total tourist arrivals reached 4.5 million in 2025, rising 12.2% from 4 million in 2024, with momentum sustained through the final quarter. Tourism receipts for the January–November period climbed to €3.6 billion, marking a 15.3% year-on-year increase that exceeded inflation. The improvement was not driven by volume alone. Average expenditure per visitor increased by 4.6%, while daily spending rose by 9.2%, indicating stronger purchasing power and higher-value tourism activity.

Economic Impact And Diversification Of Source Markets

The stronger performance translated into tangible gains for the broader services economy, lifting real tourism-related income and overall sector turnover. Demand patterns are also shifting. While the United Kingdom remains Cyprus’ largest source market, its relative share has moderated as arrivals from Israel, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Austria, and Poland have expanded. This gradual diversification reduces dependency on a single market and strengthens resilience against external shocks.

Enhanced Air Connectivity And Seasonal Dynamics

Air connectivity has improved markedly in 2025, with flight volumes expanding substantially compared to 2019. This expansion is driven by increased airline capacity, enhanced route coverage, and more frequent flights, supporting demand during shoulder seasons and reducing overreliance on peak-month flows. Seasonal patterns remain prominent, with arrivals building through the spring and peaking in summer, thereby bolstering employment, fiscal receipts, and corporate earnings across hospitality, transport, and retail sectors.

Structural Risks And Future Considerations

Despite strong headline figures, structural challenges remain. The European Commission’s EU Tourism Dashboard highlights tourism intensity, seasonality, and market concentration as key risk indicators. Cyprus records a high ratio of overnight stays relative to its resident population, signalling potential overtourism pressures. Continued reliance on a limited group of origin markets also exposes the sector to geopolitical uncertainty and sudden demand swings. Seasonal peaks place additional strain on infrastructure, housing availability, labour supply, and natural resources, particularly water.

Strategic Investment And Market Resilience

Vrachimis concludes that sustained growth will depend on targeted investment, product upgrading, and continued market diversification. Strengthening year-round offerings, improving infrastructure capacity, and promoting higher-value experiences can help balance demand while preserving long-term competitiveness. These measures are essential not only to manage overtourism risks but also to ensure tourism remains a stable pillar of Cyprus’ economic development.
