03 / BEHIND THE NUMBERS

Good data.
Clear boundaries.

This is a map of AI referral traffic — the visits that AI chatbots send to websites in Statcounter’s network.

It does not count users, subscriptions, app activity, or company revenue. A company’s share here is the share of its listed chatbot, not its entire AI business.

READ THE DATA CORRECTLY

What do these
numbers mean?

Each percentage is a chatbot’s share of measured AI referrals to websites in the selected country. These are not shares of total AI users.

One consistent snapshot

September 2026, all platforms. Values were checked on 6 October 2026. This site uses a saved snapshot and does not update automatically. Statcounter can revise recent data for 45 days. Rounding can cause totals to differ from 100%.

What is included?

ChatGPT → OpenAI; Gemini → Google; Claude → Anthropic; Copilot → Microsoft; Perplexity → Perplexity; DeepSeek → DeepSeek. Other products and unmeasured activity are outside this view. A dash means the source did not report a value. A displayed 0% is a source-rounded value, not proof of zero use.

Your starting country

A country in the page link takes priority. Otherwise, we use the approximate IP country supplied by this site’s hosting service. The site code does not save your IP address or request device location. VPNs can change the detected country. If detection fails or that country is not in this dataset, the view starts with Japan.

Read the original sources

Each country profile links to its source. Comparisons and CSV exports use the same saved values. Country sample sizes and referral habits can affect these results.
