Today on the podcast, we're joined by A16Z partners Olivia Moore and Justine Moore to get the latest consumer AI 100, their bi-annual ranking of the most used AI-native products across web and mobile.

They discuss how real users are adopting, what's fading, and where the next wave of opportunities might be.

Let's get into it.

Hi, I'm Justine. And I'm Olivia. And welcome back to the A16D podcast. Today, we're going to be discussing the Consumer AI Top 100 list.

So, Olivia, let's start because you are compiling the list and you've been doing this for a while.

What is this list and kind of what's the purpose of it?

So this is our fifth time doing this list. We do it every six months. We started at basically

the dawn of the consumer gen AI era. And the purpose is just to get a sense of what real consumers

are actually using an AI. As a sample set, we take every website and every mobile app in the entire world.

And we sort them in descending order of usage.

So for websites, this is monthly visits globally.

For mobile apps, this is monthly active users.

We use similar web and sensor towers, these two data sources.

And then we grab the top 50 from each of those sources that are AI-native companies.

So you'll notice that this captures usage, not revenue.

So it's not paid usage only.

It's all usage, even people who are using the products for free,

which to me gives an even better and I think kind of more real sense

of what is capturing

consumer imagination in AI.

Totally.

Yeah.
