👨‍🚀 ChatGPT Wrapped - Your AI Year in Review

Hello AInauts,

Welcome to the latest issue of your favorite newsletter!

Last week at the AI Summit New York, now back in tinkering mode. We built a ChatGPT Wrapped that you can start with a single click—and brought back insights from the conference that we can't stop thinking about. Keyword: AI-ready vs. AI-native ...

Here's what we have in store for you today:

• 🐳 ChatGPT Wrapped - Your personal AI review of 2025

• 🔥 From AI-ready to AI-native: Where does your team really stand?

• 😁 AI fun: AI barista serves Mona Lisa in milk foam

Let's go!

🐳 ChatGPT Wrapped - Your personal AI review of 2025

It's wrapped season again! Spotify claims to have reached a musical age of 71 – or in other words: Aged to perfection!

YouTube hands us the Award "Most likely to be the first one to try the newest AI gadget and share your thoughts". Alright, makes sense …

But do you know what's still missing? Exactly—a Wrapped for your ChatGPT usage!

So we built one. We created a link that pre-fills the prompt directly in ChatGPT. You click, confirm, let the chatbot run for a few minutes, and then click on "Preview."

ChatGPT conjures up an interactive dashboard in Canvas. Slide by slide, with infographics and probably a few insights you'd rather keep to yourself.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Only works with the ChatGPT web version! It's best to try it on a computer and make sure that the Canvas feature is being used. Then click on "Preview." If ChatGPT is acting up, just restart it... Nobody is perfect.

For the Claude users among us: here you go! 
For Gemini users and prompt hackers: here is the prompt as text.

What comes out of it—more than just a gimmick

How does it work? ChatGPT digs through its memory, or rather your memory, and analyzes what you've been chatting about. You'll see top topics, skills, habits, and predictions for 2026. This is then spiced up with a dash of personality and Wrapped design aesthetics, and your digital year in review is ready.

A brief disclaimer: This is not an exact science. As is well known, ChatGPT is a probability engine. However, that is also what makes it exciting. Please let us know how well the mirror was held up to you.

The whole thing is also a perfect example of vibe coding. If you've always wanted to build something small but were put off by the technical aspect, it can be this easy. One prompt, one click, one "app." No programming knowledge required—and if something goes wrong, just bark, "Fix bug!"

Our take: Fun with substance

Sure, it's a gimmick. But a useful one. You get an overview of your AI usage, discover patterns you may not have been aware of, and see what's possible with ChatGPT Canvas.

Pro tip: You can share your Wrapped at the top right. We accept no responsibility for embarrassing revelations... Or simply share the link https://ainauten.com/chatgpt-wrapped instead—then your friends can create their own.

🔥 From AI-ready to AI-native: Where does your team really stand?

Last week, we attended the AI Summit New York, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary and attracted 5,000 people. We came away with a few insights that we can't stop thinking about.

Do you know what stands out when so many AI experts practitioners are in one room? It's not the presentations. It's the conversations afterward. At lunch. In line. After the sessions. That's when you hear things that aren't addressed so directly on stage...

The surprising thing was that it wasn't about models at all. GPT vs. Claude vs. Gemini – who cares? Instead, the same topics came up everywhere: governance, data quality, change management. And again and again, the question of why so many AI projects get stuck halfway through.

👉 The complete AI Summit Deep Dive with all insights is available here.

The inconvenient truth? Technology is rarely the problem. We are.

Rigid processes. Isolated data silos. Teams that have tools but don't know how to use them effectively. Many AI projects never make it past the pilot phase. Not because the technology fails, but because the organization doesn't follow through.

Seven hurdles—and technology isn't one of them! Instead: lack of alignment with business goals. Legacy systems. Data chaos. Change management. Skills gap. Lack of governance. Culture.

AI-ready vs. AI-native: The difference that matters

A statement that sparked lively discussions at the summit: "The only way forward is not to modernize the business to be AI-ready. It is to reimagine the business and to be AI-native."

The difference is brutally honest:

• AI-ready Meaning: You slap ChatGPT onto existing processes and call it transformation. A little efficiency gain here, a little automation there. Band-Aids on old wounds. That's what consultants sell because it's easier.

• AI-native means: You rethink your business from the ground up. As if AI had existed from day one. Different workflows. Different assumptions. Different architecture. Everything.

Most companies choose option 1 because it seems safer. And that's okay—not everyone has to reinvent everything right away. But it helps to know where you stand. And where the journey could take you.

Because AI-native companies play a different game. In a new league. With new rules. Those who at least understand how they think can better decide which steps make sense for their own company.

The real competitive advantage: AI fluency & AI governance

What sets the winners apart from the rest? It's not the budget. Not the model. Not even the data alone.

It's AI fluency across the entire team. Not just among the tech people. Among everyone. From marketing to accounting, from sales to support, from the CEO to the interns. Introducing a tool is easy. Scaling AI cleanly is difficult. And it only works if the whole team is on board.

Another thing that nobody finds sexy, but makes all the difference: AI governance.

It sounds like bureaucracy, but it's actually a real competitive advantage. Companies that implement their frameworks cleanly now can roll out new use cases in weeks. The others need months—because they reinvent the wheel every time instead of just letting it roll.

The most pragmatic advice we heard was: crawl, walk, run. First, use AI as an assistant. Then automate individual workflows. At the same time, create governance structures. Then—and only then—move on to larger systems. If you try to run right away, you'll fall down.

How are things at your company?

You know that feeling when you see the potential of AI, but nothing much happens in your team. Or not the right things. Or it fizzles out after the initial hype.

That's why every CEO, team leader, and entrepreneur needs to ask themselves: Where are we actually at? Still at the very beginning? Somewhere in the middle? And: Does my team have the skills to really use AI—or do they just click on ChatGPT and hope for magic?

That's exactly where we want to start. If you're thinking, "That applies to us," we help managers and teams get from "We should do something with AI" to "It's working!" Let us know if this is relevant to you—we'll keep you in the loop. Just reply to this newsletter or send us an email!

😁 AI Fun: AI barista serves Mona Lisa in milk foam

Forget the little heart in the milk foam! This machine prints the Mona Lisa directly onto your cappuccino. Simply insert the artwork at the top, press the button, and voilà: your cultural breakfast is served.

The only catch: it only exists in AI fever dreams for now. But hope springs eternal. Somewhere in a startup, someone is surely working on it. Right?

You made it to the end—thanks for reading! We’ll be back soon with even more updates.
