ChatGPT’s rapid expansion is showing signs of cooling, while Google’s Gemini picks up speed, new research by Sensor Tower shows. ChatGPT still holds the top spot in the AI assistant space. Data from Sensor Tower shows that OpenAI captures half of all worldwide mobile downloads and accounts for 55% of people using AI chatbots each month around the globe.

Gemini wasn’t far behind with 170% growth over the same period. But a closer look at recent months tells a different story.

Sensor Tower suggests that this small increase might indicate the product is approaching a ceiling in terms of the number of people who want to use it. Google’s Gemini moved much faster during those same months, with monthly users climbing about 30%. The jump came after the company released Nano Banana, its new tool for creating images, which attracted more users.
