ChatGPT’s market share slips below 50% for first time

ChatGPT's market share for AI assistants fell below 50% for the first time in April, according to data from Similarweb. Despite this decline, ChatGPT remains the most popular AI assistant globally, boasting over 1.1 billion monthly users. Google's Gemini followed with 662 million users, and Anthropic's Claude secured the third position with 245 million users. This shift indicates increased competition within the AI assistant market, with other platforms gaining traction. The data highlights the dynamic nature of AI adoption and user preference, suggesting a more fragmented landscape is emerging. While ChatGPT's dominance has lessened, its substantial user base underscores its continued significance in the AI assistant sector. The growth of Gemini and Claude suggests successful product development and marketing strategies by Google and Anthropic, respectively, attracting a significant portion of the user base.
