OpenAI’s ChatGPT has crossed 900 million global downloads, making it the most downloaded AI chatbot in the world by a significant margin, according to data released by market intelligence firm Sensor Tower.

The AI assistant continues to maintain a dominant position in the competitive chatbot space, far ahead of its nearest rivals. Google’s Gemini stands at 200 million downloads, while DeepSeek has recorded 127 million. Microsoft’s Copilot follows with 79 million downloads globally.

Despite aggressive investment by competitors, Microsoft alone has committed $80 billion this year to expand its AI data centers, ChatGPT remains the platform of choice for most users.

Industry analysts attribute this dominance to ChatGPT’s ease of use, natural language capabilities and consistent updates. The AI assistant has gained widespread popularity for its ability to carry human-like conversations, provide quick answers and integrate seamlessly into daily workflows.

The chatbot’s rising usage also reflects a shift in consumer behavior, with generative AI becoming part of routine tasks, learning and productivity.

OpenAI’s continued innovation and early mover advantage have played a key role in its growth, even as major tech players such as Google and Microsoft race to gain ground in the space.
