OpenAI's ChatGPT receives 2.5 billion prompts from users globally on daily basis
The Microsoft-backed startup has said that it now receives 2.5 billion prompts from users around the world every day, with more than 300 million of those prompts coming from users in the US, according to a report by Axios.
This 2.5 billion figure translates to over 912 billion requests annually. It is a clear indicator of how quickly the AI chatbot is becoming a major part of daily online activity for billions of users.
However, the popular AI chatbot might still trail Google in terms of engagement metrics.
Alphabet, the parent company of Google, 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 a report by TechCrunch.
Despite Google's dominance, ChatGPT has witnessed surging growth in the past year. In December 2024, OpenAI said it has over 300 million active monthly users who send one billion prompts per day.
Fresh numbers shared by @sama earlier today:
300M weekly active ChatGPT users
1B user messages sent on ChatGPT every day
1.3M devs have built on OpenAI in the US

The US and India are considered to be the two largest markets for ChatGPT. The chatbot app had 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 operator Bharti Airtel.
Recently, OpenAI also unveiled ChatGPT Agent which can automate complex tasks on its own. With this addition to ChatGPT' already long list of features, it can now perform a wider array of tasks, including web browsing and creating presentations.
The startup's latest AI offering has been characterised as a tool that uses its own virtual computer to complete any task on the user's behalf.
The new ChatGPT Agent integrates a suite of tools, from text and visual browsers to direct API access. Crucially, it's designed to intelligently select the most appropriate tool for any given task and can even connect to external applications like GitHub and Gmail via connectors.
