On May 18, OpenAI’s viral AI-powered chatbot ChatGPT was launched in the Apple Store. The app has been off to a fantastic start even though it is currently only available for U.S.-based iOS users. The application will expand to 11 other countries in the nearest future.
According to an analysis by app intelligence provider data.ai, the app has achieved half a million downloads in six days since its launch.

Aside from 480,000 iOS ChatGPT downloads compared with 250,000 for Bing and 195,000 for Edge, ChatGPT was even further ahead with 180,000 installs versus Bing’s 125,000 and 150,000 for Edge.
