The linked article can tell you that the ChatGPT app has been downloaded more than 600M times, so approx 1 in 13 humans has actually downloaded ChatGPT to their phone already, let alone heard about it.

They have WAUs in the 300m ballpark — average people already are going out of their way to open a standalone AI.



What are there DAUs? I occasionally open up Claude or ChatGPT just to ask a random question, maybe even once a week. But I’m incredibly uninvested in either brand. I use Google hundreds of times every day.


Does "Global app installs" the term used at the link, mean installs by unique human beings the way you are using it?
