"What are consumers doing with the most advanced artificial intelligence? Talking to chatbots, creating virtual characters and sprucing up photos, to name a few uses, according to a recent ranking of popular apps and websites by the venture capital firm Andreesen Horowitz. Tweaking a photo or building a virtual friend may seem frivolous, considering the potential for AI to spur scientific and medical breakthroughs, but tracking monthly users and visitors of generative AI apps and websites is key to understanding ."
"The rankings also show plenty of room for upstarts. Character.ai is among the popular apps for building a virtual companion, highlighting how many people want to create a character for roleplaying. Users can touch up selfies (another popular use) with Hypic and Peachy. Top apps to create and edit art, photos and videos include AI Gallery, Wink, YouCut, PixVerse and BeautyCam."
Consumers use advanced AI primarily as general assistants, chatbots, virtual companions, image editors, and creative production tools, with many popular consumer-facing apps and websites serving these needs. Monthly user and visitor metrics for generative AI services are a key indicator of adoption. Major technology companies offer widely used AI chatbots and development tools, while startups build niche experiences like roleplaying characters and selfie retouching. Leading mobile and web apps span art, photo, and video creation as well as writing and coding assistance. Monetization from consumers is necessary for large AI investments to be sustainable.
