ChatGPT garners 900 million downloads, leaves behind Copilot, Gemini, and DeepSeek in AI race

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is clearly everyone’s favorite chatbot right now. The popular AI assistant from OpenAI has crossed a massive 900 million downloads worldwide, beating every other AI chatbot by a huge margin.

According to fresh data from Sensor Tower, ChatGPT is way ahead of its competitors. Google’s Gemini is next in line but far behind with 200 million downloads. DeepSeek follows with 127 million, while Microsoft’s Copilot sits in fourth place with just 79 million downloads.

It’s impressive how ChatGPT continues to dominate the AI world. People love it for its natural conversations, quick answers, and fun personality. Even though other companies like Google and Microsoft have invested billions in their own chatbots, they are still struggling to catch up.

Microsoft especially has been pushing hard with Copilot, even announcing a massive $80 billion investment in AI data centers this year. But when it comes to winning over regular users, ChatGPT remains the first choice for most people.

Experts believe it’s because ChatGPT feels more useful and engaging. Many users say it’s simply better at holding conversations and answering questions in a natural way. Plus, OpenAI keeps updating ChatGPT with new features, which keeps people coming back.

With ChatGPT crossing such a big milestone, it’s clear that it has become more than just a tech trend—it’s now part of everyday life for millions of people. And from the looks of it, OpenAI’s chatbot is showing no signs of slowing down.
