    a16z Top 100 consumer AI, 7th edition: ChatGPT leads Gemini 2x on web visits

    a16z published the seventh edition of its Top 100 Gen AI Consumer Apps, adding US consumer card-spending data from YipitData for the first time. ChatGPT holds a roughly 2x lead on Gemini in August web visits and a 6x lead on Claude, per the report. About 4.5% of US consumers in the panel had a paid personal subscription to at least one of ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude, up from 2.1% a year ago. Only seven companies make all three lists — traffic, mobile, and spending — with ChatGPT at the top of each.
