This article analyzes the visit data of major AI platforms in October 2024, focuses on the growth of ChatGPT and NotebookLM, and provides a brief overview of other AI services. Data shows that ChatGPT has reached an astonishing 3.7 billion global visits, a year-on-year increase of more than 100%, while NotebookLM achieved a year-on-year growth of more than 200% with its newly launched AI podcast capabilities. These data reflect the booming development and fierce competition in the generative AI market.
According to the latest data from Similarweb, ChatGPT's global visits reached 3.7 billion in October 2024, an increase of 17.2% from the previous month and 115.9% year-on-year. Since moving from chat.openai.com to chatgpt.com in April 2024, ChatGPT's growth momentum has remained unabated. Compared with previous growth rates of 8% and 18.7%, the growth rate in October showed a significant acceleration, especially with the number of daily active users of its mobile apps in the United States. The recently launched ChatGPT search feature is expected to further enhance these numbers. Meanwhile, Google's NotebookLM is also developing rapidly. In October, the platform's visits surged by more than 200% year-on-year to 31.5 million, marking its second straight month of triple-digit growth. NotebookLM's traffic surge was mainly due to its newly launched AI podcast feature, two synthetic voice discussion document content, and related social media demonstration videos quickly became popular, attracting a lot of attention. Although NotebookLM's visits are still far from ChatGPT, its growth momentum cannot be ignored. The functions of the two platforms are different: NotebookLM focuses on document interaction, while ChatGPT emphasizes dialogue capabilities and adds Internet search capabilities. In addition, Google is expected to launch Gemini2.0 in December, as well as a network collaboration assistant called "Jarvis". The current Gemini website has 291.6 million visits in October, an increase of 6.2% from September. Other AI services have also grown to varying degrees, with Microsoft's Co pilot growing by 87.6% to 69.4 million visits, thanks in part to Bing chat guidance. Perplexity and Claude visited 25.5%, respectively, up 199.2% and 394.9% year-on-year respectively. While these growth rates may seem modest, given the substantial investment in generating AI, growth is likely to accelerate in the future.
