New OpenAI Signals data shows that people are using ChatGPT more often and for a broader range of tasks over time, while its user base is becoming more global and more diverse. Using aggregated data, OpenAI Signals measures how people interact with individual ChatGPT plans—Free, Go, Plus, and Pro—over time.
As individuals use ChatGPT for longer, they both send more messages daily and try more new capabilities. Six months after signing up, users sent 50% more messages per day than when they first signed up, and they doubled the number of distinct tasks they have tried on ChatGPT. Adoption has grown sharply across every continent since July 2023, with the fastest relative growth in Africa and Asia and in lower-Human Development Index countries, supported by low-cost access through free and Go plans.
Usage by people with typically-female names has increased and now represents most usage globally, with Brazil, Colombia, Poland, and Namibia among the countries where such usage most significantly exceeds typically-male usage, while Pakistan, Bangladesh, Angola, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Mali have the most concentrated typically-male usage. Non-English users now represent over half of active users, with Spanish, Portuguese, and Arabic the leading non-English languages and Uzbek, Kazakh, and Burmese showing the largest percentage increase in share of active users since July 2023.
