Welcome back, AI Enthusiasts!
In today’s AI summary rundown:
OpenAI has launched "Your Year with ChatGPT," a feature designed to mimic the popular "Spotify Wrapped," offering users a visual and interactive summary of their activity and conversations throughout 2025.
The experience assigns users creative "awards" based on their usage patterns. such as "Creative Debugger" for problem-solvers, and generates custom poems and images that reflect the topics they discussed most frequently.
The feature is rolling out to users on Free, Plus, and Pro plans in select English-speaking markets (including the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia), provided they meet minimum activity thresholds and have chat history enabled.
The recap is described as "privacy-forward" and "user-controlled"; it does not launch automatically but appears as a promotion on the home screen or can be triggered by specifically asking ChatGPT for the review.
Enterprise, Team, and Education accounts are currently excluded from this feature, which focuses strictly on individual consumer accounts.

AI Training: AI Tutorial of the Day
How To Turn a Trending Research Idea into a Clear One-Minute Insight
Discover what AI can do when you experiment with different models on thareja.ai.
One of my favorite ways to test models is by giving them complex ideas and seeing which one explains them best, clearly and quickly.
Start a New Chat
Open thareja.ai and start a fresh conversation.
This keeps the experiment focused on clarity, not creativity.
Switch Your AI Model
Click the ( + ) icon next to Automatic and choose your model.
For this experiment, I selected GPT-4o.
Why GPT-4o?
It’s especially strong at:
Explaining dense ideas simply
Structuring information cleanly
Avoiding unnecessary fluff
Try This Prompt & Observe the Difference
Prompt used:
Explain what “AI agents” are and why everyone in tech is suddenly talking about them.
Write it so a smart non-technical reader can understand it in under one minute.
Model Used
GPT-4o
AI Response (Excerpt)
AI agents are systems designed to act, not just respond.
Instead of waiting for instructions, they can plan steps, use tools, and adapt toward a goal, closer to how humans work than traditional software.
That shift is why they’re becoming central to productivity, research, and automation conversations.
Why This Experiment Works
When I tested the same prompt on Claude, the explanation became more conceptual and less direct.
GPT-4o stayed concise and accessible.
This kind of comparison is exactly why I like using thareja.ai, it makes clarity a choice, not a coincidence.
Happy Prompting!

Prompt: Ultra-realistic cinematic image of Angela Merkel planting a tree in a community garden at golden hour. Realistic sunlight streaming through surrounding trees, detailed textures on soil, leaves, and gardening tools. Merkel is wearing casual yet elegant clothing, natural facial expression, soft cinematic depth of field, warm and inviting color grading, realistic shadows, slight lens flare, ultra-HD resolution, photographically authentic scene capturing empathy and leadership.
Tip: the more specific the better
What stands out about thareja.ai is the speed at which you can test ideas across models. Each model contributes something unique, but Nano Banana really shines for vibrant, high-energy imagery.
