According to recent data from SimilarWeb, the leading AI chatbot, ChatGPT, saw its web traffic share drop significantly—from 78% of total website traffic to just 54%. This represents a substantial decline in market dominance over one year.
The situation is further complicated by another major player, Google Gemini, which has seen an impressive surge in its reach. Over the same period, its share of web traffic increased from 7.3% to nearly 27%, overtaking Claude (an AI assistant developed by Anthropic) and other notable chatbots like DeepSeek and Grok.
- ChatGPT’s market leadership is weakening as new entrants gain ground.
- The rise of Google Gemini highlights the importance of search engines in directing traffic to AI assistants.
- This shift underscores the growing competition among large language models, with some gaining significant traction through alternative channels like mobile apps and search integrations.
