Since AI is a rapidly evolving landscape with many utility and assistant tools, our list filters for apps using terms like ChatGPT, AI, chatbot, and assistant.
This chart helps developers track the most successful AI implementations and see which features resonate with users. You can inspect specific search terms driving traffic to these tools using our App Store Keyword Tool or view developer portfolios on our App Store Publishers directory to see who is launching new AI products.
