The competition for chatbots is rapidly heating up in the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in India and abroad. In this sequence, ChatGPT (developed by OpenAI) still maintains its hold on the market. But recent data also shows that its leadership position is under challenge as a new player is emerging at the second position.
What does the data say?
According to the study conducted between August 2024 and July 2025, ChatGPT garnered approximately 46.59 billion visits and led the market with approximately 48.36% traffic share.
Meanwhile, in the same time period, a chatbot named Grok ranked second with approximately 686.91 million visits.
Analysts attribute Grok’s remarkable growth to its fast speed, integration into social platforms, and new user-attracting features.

ChatGPT still holds a clear lead and is preferred by the majority of users. However, with competitors like Grok emerging rapidly, the direction of the chatbot market may change in the future.
The analysis also notes that Grok is ranked “second” in some sources—although the number of visits is still very low, its growth rate is remarkable.
What made these changes possible?
The reach Grok received from social media platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) made it increasingly popular.

The addition of new‑feature‑updates, user‑interface improvements, and inclusion of special use‑cases have taken this chatbot forward rapidly.
At the same time, ChatGPT has maintained its technical superiority, but the rise of new players in the competition indicates it to be cautious.
Do users care about this?
Yes. If you use chatbots on a daily basis—for writing, information searching, support, etc.—it’s worth knowing that the options are growing, and one particular chatbot is competing with another.
For businesses, educational institutions, or independent professionals, it’s time to get strategic — deciding when and how to use which chatbot.
