The article discusses the competitive landscape between OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini in the generative AI space. While ChatGPT boasts impressive daily active users (DAUs) estimated at 160 million compared to Gemini's 35 million, Google's extensive ecosystem, led by Search, significantly enhances its overall user base, exceeding 2 billion monthly active users. The competitive advantage may hinge more on distribution channels rather than technology quality, suggesting the discrepancy in user engagement could change based on larger platform integrative measures.
OpenAI's ChatGPT is either crushing Google - or the startup is way behind. Who ultimately wins will depend a lot on distribution, and less on the quality of the technology.
The leaderboard shifts dramatically depending on whether you're measuring pure app data or broader platform distribution. ChatGPT looks like it's in the lead.
As of March 2025, Google's own internal disclosures peg Gemini at about 35 million DAUs. In contrast, ChatGPT has roughly 160 million DAUs.
Google Search still dwarfs ChatGPT, boasting over 2 billion monthly active users, or MAUs, and around 1.5 billion DAUs.
