Double AI news today

Hey AI Enthusiast,

Double news today.

ChatGPT just launched "Your Year with ChatGPT."

Their version of Spotify Wrapped. An annual review feature that shows how you used ChatGPT throughout 2025.

Available now for free, Plus, and Pro users in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and New Zealand.

The feature gives out "awards" based on your usage. Like "Creative Debugger" if you used it to solve problems or work through concepts.

It also creates a personalized poem and image about your year focused on your topics of interest.

You can access it on the ChatGPT web app and mobile apps. Or just ask ChatGPT for "Your Year with ChatGPT" to trigger it.

And the second story: Amazon is turning Alexa into an app platform with four new integrations launching in 2026.

But first, today's prompt (then both stories...)

✅Your Year with ChatGPT ✅

ChatGPT launched "Your Year with ChatGPT"—their version of Spotify Wrapped.

Rolling out now to eligible users in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and New Zealand.

What It Does:

Shows personalized "awards" based on your usage patterns. For example, "Creative Debugger" if you used ChatGPT to solve problems or work through concepts.

Creates a custom poem and image about your year based on your topics of interest.

Available on web and mobile apps. You can also ask ChatGPT directly for "Your Year with ChatGPT" to trigger it.

Requirements:

You need "reference saved memories" and "reference chat history" turned on.

You need to have met a minimum conversation activity threshold.

Team, Enterprise, or Education accounts don't have access.

Why This Matters:

ChatGPT is mimicking consumer apps like Spotify to increase engagement and make AI feel more personal.

Year-end reviews create shareable moments. Users post their results. That's free marketing for OpenAI.

It's also a retention play. Reminding users how much they relied on ChatGPT throughout the year encourages them to keep their subscription.

This is OpenAI treating ChatGPT less like a tool and more like a social product.

Did You Know?

AI can identify which paintings in museums are most likely to be stolen by analyzing visitor gaze patterns and determining which pieces trigger the strongest emotional responses.

🗞️ Amazon Alexa+ Update 🗞️

Amazon announced four new integrations for Alexa+ starting in 2026: Angi, Expedia, Square, and Yelp.

These join existing integrations with Fodor, OpenTable, Suno, Ticketmaster, Thumbtack, and Uber.

What You Can Do:

Book hotels through Expedia. Ask for pet-friendly hotels in Chicago for this weekend. Alexa compares, books, and manages reservations.

Get quotes for home services through Angi.

Schedule salon appointments through Square.

Search for local businesses through Yelp.

Call an Uber. Book a table at a restaurant through OpenTable.

You converse with Alexa in natural language. Back-and-forth conversations. Refine your request as you go.

Why Amazon Is Doing This:

Similar to ChatGPT integrating apps, Amazon wants Alexa to be the interface for online services.

Instead of opening separate apps, you use Alexa as the gateway.

For Amazon, this is about keeping users inside their ecosystem. If Alexa can book your hotel, order your Uber, and schedule your haircut, you don't need to open those apps directly.

The Challenge:

Users are already used to engaging with online services through web or mobile apps.

Changing that behavior is hard.

For this to work, AI assistants need to be as easy or easier than the existing model.

That means:

• Breadth: Match the number of services available in traditional app stores

• Accuracy: Understand requests correctly the first time

• Convenience: Actually save time compared to opening an app

If AI assistants can't deliver on all three, users won't switch.

What Amazon Says Is Working:

Early Alexa+ adopters have shown "strong" engagement with home and personal service providers like Thumbtack and Vagaro.

That suggests practical, high-friction tasks (finding a plumber, booking a haircut) are where AI assistants add real value.

The Risk:

AI providers need to avoid seeming overly pushy. If Alexa suggests services at the wrong time, users will perceive it as ads, not help.

The line between helpful suggestions and intrusive promotions is thin.

What These Two Stories Tell Us About 2026:

AI assistants are evolving from tools into platforms.

ChatGPT wants to be a social product with shareable moments and personal engagement.

Alexa wants to be the interface layer for online services.

Both are trying to keep users inside their ecosystems longer.

The question: Will users adapt to this new behavior?

Or will they stick with the apps they already know?
