New Delhi: The Microsoft-backed startup adoption is making such numbers that will blow the minds of those users who use it, but they don’t know the number of users who use it, from asking queries to conversations; it does all of them. OpenAI’s ChatGPT is seeing global adoption at an unprecedented rate, which is pretty high. In the X post, ChatGPT has disclosed the number of users. It now receives 2.5 billion prompts from users worldwide every day, with more than 300 million of those prompts coming from users in the United States. According to some sources, it has become known to many users.

This 2.5 billion figure translates to over 912 billion requests annually. The indicator of how quickly the AI chatbot is becoming a major part of users’ daily online activity is significant, particularly for the billions of users. This popular AI chatbot may still lag behind Google in terms of engagement metrics. The parent company, Google, has recently revealed that the search giant sees five trillion search queries from users every year.
While the company does not release daily or monthly search data, the annual data means that Google Search averages 14 billion searches per day. This data has also been corroborated by a few independent researchers, according to some sources. Despite Google’s dominance, ChatGPT has experienced significant growth over the past year. In December 2024, OpenAI said that it has over 300 million active monthly users who send one billion prompts per day.
The United States and India are considered to be the two largest markets for ChatGPT usage. The chatbot application has been leading the Apple App Store Charts in India but was recently dethroned from the No. 1 spot by Perplexity after the latter announced free Perplexity Pro subscriptions for a year to eligible users of major Indian telecom network operators Bharti Airtel.
OpenAI recently introduced ChatGPT agents, which can automate complex tasks independently. With this addition to ChatGPT’s already long list of features, it can now perform a wider array of functions, including web browsing and creating presentations. This Startup’s latest AI offering has been characterised as a tool that uses its virtual computer to complete any task on the user’s behalf. This latest ChatGPT Agent integrates a suite of tools, from the text and visual browsers to direct API access. Billions of users now access ChatGPT, making it a habit in their routine to use the platform for any question or query.
