Our take

Hey Dotikers!

Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), the legendary Silicon Valley venture capital firm, just released the fifth edition of its report on the 100 most-used consumer generative AI applications. For two and a half years now, a16z has been tracking the evolution of everyday AI usage through these quarterly rankings, a goldmine for understanding how the general public is actually adopting these technologies.

Key takeaways from this edition:

  • The ecosystem is stabilizing: only 11 new entrants on web (vs. 17 in March), signaling market maturation

  • The AI assistant battle heats up: ChatGPT still dominates, but Google (Gemini), X (Grok), and Meta are closing the gap, Google even lands 4 products in the top 50

  • "Vibe coding" takes off: platforms that let you build apps without coding (Lovable, Replit) are seeing massive adoption with impressive retention rates

  • China as the AI app factory: 22 of the 50 mobile apps were developed in China and exported globally, particularly dominating video and photo editing

  • The "All Stars" endure: 14 companies present since day one showcase the diversity of use cases (assistants, AI companions, image generation, productivity tools...)

Essential reading for anyone who wants to understand where consumer AI is really heading, beyond the hype.
