The Top 100 Gen AI Consumer Apps

The cultural change and the cultural adoption will be slower than the technology change and what's actually possible. If you actually look at the app stores that are emerging on Claude and ChatGPT, they both have 200 plus apps, but there's only 11% overlap. Essentially, you'd be able to log in with your ChatGPT account and take, like, your memory and your tokens with you, and then that other product would be able to kind of borrow those things to be even more powerful and helpful for you. I I don't think we've seen a social product yet succeed that's, like, entirely AI content. The emotional stakes just feel lower in some ways. ChatGPT is the biggest AI product in the world. It's also only reaching 10% of the global population on a weekly basis. We're still early. Six additions into the a 16 z top 100 AI app report, the platforms are diverging. Claude is doubling down on on prosumer tools. Gemini's traction tracks almost perfectly to creative model releases.

Singapore, Hong Kong, and The UAE lead per capita AI usage. The US sits at number 20. Trust in AI varies wildly from 32% in The US to 80% in China.

In many ways, like, so much has changed, and there's been just an incredible amount of growth since the first time we put out this list in 2023. On the other hand, from, like, a macro level, we're still so early. Like, ChatGPT is by far the biggest global AI product, and still only 10% of the global population is using it on a weekly active basis. So there's, like, a lot more to come. I do think this past six months has been maybe my favorite time and the most exciting time because of the shifts that we've seen. One of them has been that the race for the consumer is really heating up. So Chatgi, BT, of course, but also Gemini and Claude are kind of doubling down on their own ICP within consumer and prosumer. And I think we're starting to see how these platforms might have compounding advantages over time, and so that makes it especially kind of existential or interesting of who is acquiring the most users. And then on a related note, this was actually the first issue that we included products that were non AI native but are now majority AI enabled, …
