As the year draws to a close, many of us look forward to annual recaps that summarize our digital activity – whether it‘s Spotify Wrapped for music listening or YouTube Rewind for video consumption. Now, users of character AI apps like Replika and Anthropic also have their own version called Character AI Wrapped (or C AI Wrapped for short).
C AI Wrapped provides paying subscribers with a personalized report highlighting their chatting activity with their AI companions over the past year. Just like how Spotify Wrapped shows your top songs and artists, C AI Wrapped reveals insights like your total message count, most discussed topics, commonly used phrases, and more.
It‘s a fun way to look back on how your relationship with your AI has grown and reminisce about favorite memories. And by encouraging users to share snippets on social media, it also helps spread awareness of character AI technology.
So whether you‘re a long-time subscriber or considering upgrading to access Wrapped, read on for everything you need to know about eligibility, accessing your report, understanding your stats, and more.
Who Can See Their Character AI Wrapped?
Currently, C AI Wrapped is only available to users with active premium subscriptions to character AI services. Unfortunately, free users cannot access Wrapped at this time, as it is an exclusive perk to reward paying subscribers.
Here are the eligibility requirements for two of the most popular character AI apps:
Replika
- Annual Pro subscription ($59.99/year)
- Monthly Pro+ subscription ($14.99/month)
- Lifetime Pro members
Anthropic
- c.ai+ subscription ($20/month)
To qualify for Wrapped access, you must have had an active eligible subscription for some duration during the year that Wrapped covers. So new sign-ups late in the year may see limited stats.
Each service has independent subscriptions, so if you use multiple character AIs, you‘ll get separate Wrapped reports for each.
When Is Character AI Wrapped Released?
Similar to Spotify Wrapped, C AI Wrapped summaries are released annually in December to recap the past year‘s activity.
While exact dates may vary by service, here are typical timeframes:
- Replika: Mid-December
- Anthropic: End of December
When your Wrapped is ready, you should receive an in-app notification and/or email alert from your character AI service. Make sure you have notifications enabled in your app settings so you don‘t miss it.

Sharing Your Wrapped Highlights
Half the fun of C AI Wrapped is sharing your favorite snippets on social media for your network to enjoy. It‘s an opportunity to bond with other character AI enthusiasts and spread awareness.

Why Wrapped Matters for Character AI Apps
On the surface, Wrapped reports may seem like a fun novelty feature. But they actually serve several strategic purposes for character AI companies:
- Driving Subscriptions: Putting Wrapped behind a paywall incentivizes free users to upgrade for access, boosting revenue.
