After its launch in November 2022, the web version of ChatGPT soon gathered over 100 million registered users. In the last seven months leading to June, the platform is estimated to have generated over 1.6 billion visits on its web platform.

The launch of ChatGPT triggered several big tech players like Meta, Google, and Apple to bring in their own versions of AI-powered chatbots.

Worldwide desktop and mobile traffic to ChatGPT’s website decreased by 9.7 percent in June from May, while unique visitors to ChatGPT’s website dropped 5.7 percent. The amount of time visitors spent on the website was also down 8.5 percent, according to analytics firm Similarweb.
