Read time: 2.5 minutes

Welcome back, superhuman

Every now and again you hear a statistic that truly blows your mind.

This week I found an AI app where tens of millions of users are spending more time on average than Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter — combined! And this app is giving ChatGPT some serious competition.

I’ve also got a hilarious AI musical mashup at the end of today’s issue to get your weekend started right.

THE BIG INSIGHT

Character AI is the next big thing in AI — and it’s taking over the internet

If you asked the average person walking down the street what the most popular AI chatbot in the world was, chances are 99% of them would say ChatGPT.

Well, turns out that might not be entirely true.

While ChatGPT’s parent website OpenAI is the AI website getting the most visitors every month, there’s another AI chatbot with hundreds of millions of monthly visitors that are on average spending ~8x as much time compared to ChatGPT.

Character AI is an AI chatbot that lets you chat with historical, fictional, celebrity, or other characters via text. Unlike ChatGPT, the conversations sound more natural, and you can chat with multiple characters at the same time.

Popular chatbots include Einstein, Ronaldo, and Taylor Swift. You can also chat with a therapist, a language teacher, or a popular video game character.

Here are some statistics from SimilarWeb to understand how popular Character AI is on the internet:

The average visitor spends a whopping 34 minutes on Character AI

For comparison, the average visitor spends 20 minutes on YouTube, 10 minutes on Facebook, 8 minutes on Instagram, and 4 minutes on Open AI (ChatGPT).

Character AI’s users are predominantly male and under the age of 24

Character AI’s users are interested in video games, news and tech

They also spend time on Roblox and Discord

Character AI has taken a clear lead over every other AI chatbot to establish itself as the clear competitor to ChatGPT
