ChatGPT topped the list of the most widely used artificial intelligence tools, recording 3.7 billion monthly visits around the world, which is higher than the level of spread of the Google Chrome browser, which has about 3.45 billion monthly users. ChatGPT's monthly traffic increased by 17.2% compared to the previous month, and 115.9% compared to the previous year, according to Similarweb data.

Part of this increase is due to the conversion of the ChatGPT web address from a subdomain (chat.openai.com) to a master domain (chatgpt.com)، The biggest increase was in May 2024, with 2.2 billion visits, and has continued to grow ever since. 

Although ChatGPT has had a strong presence in the technology space since its launch in November 2022, OpenAI, the owner of the smart chatbot, has continued to improve its product with new versions, features, and auxiliary apps to keep users interested.
