Worldwide AI-chatbot web visits: ChatGPT 76% → 54%. Gemini 6% → 28%. Claude 1% → 9%. This is not monthly users and not revenue.

Alternate headline: “After three years of unprecedented investment including governments, Facebook, and Google dumping money into the promise of AI, ChatGPT still has over 50% of the traffic.” Also, grok isn’t been on that list, further proving that no serious people use it.

Gemini is actually good enough for pretty much everyone I know who is not in tech and uses Android. These people are downright pleased with Google's AI summaries. The fact that Google can push Gemini out in so many ways with their existing marketshare is mind boggling. The fact that ChatGPT hasn't lost 50-100% of web share shows it's Google's game to lose at this point.

54% to go, good work team.

I think it'd be more informative to see total users per provider, rather than % shares.

Given this anyone still thinking Google lost needs to update their belief system

I used to use Gemini (the product) because it's free. But its responses are so incredibly bad, and the interface has so many dumb bugs, that I stopped using it and switched to OpenCode Go models + Web UI. Gemini models can recite deep knowledge, but they can't do constructive things, can't do extended web research, can't provide more than a couple options for an answer. Either their system prompt is nerfed like crazy or the models just suck at agentic work. Even ChatGPT from 2025 was better than Gemini today.

What's the methodology? Is Gemini actual gemini.google.com or mixed with google.com and Android searches?
