Methodology

Monthly visits are estimated web traffic to each product’s primary chat domain. Series are stacked in descending order with the largest product at the base of each bar. Product labels reflect consumer-facing names rather than domain names.

Frequently asked questions

Why does this matter for the AI industry?

Web traffic is a visible demand signal for consumer AI products. It shows which chat services attract visits, but it is not a measure of tokens, revenue, retention, or enterprise usage.

What does a stacked bar represent?

Each segment is the estimated monthly visits to one product’s primary chat domain, and the full bar is the sum of the displayed products. SimilarWeb estimates and the selected domain set do not represent all AI usage.

Can these visits be treated as model usage?

No. A visit is a web-analytics event, not a conversation, token, user, or API request. The chart is useful for comparing public web reach and demand direction, not for estimating total AI consumption.
