ChatGPT Search Queries Reach 20% of Google’s Volume
OpenAI says ChatGPT’s search usage has climbed to one‑fifth of Google’s query volume, according to consumer product lead Adam Fry.
OpenAI announced that the number of search queries processed through ChatGPT now equals 20 percent of the volume handled by Google. The figure was disclosed by Adam Fry, OpenAI’s consumer product lead for ChatGPT, during a press event on Monday.
Fry highlighted the shift in user behavior, noting that the phrase “Ask Chat” is increasingly replacing the traditional “Google it” in many circles. This milestone reflects growing confidence in conversational AI as a primary tool for information retrieval.
The announcement underscores OpenAI’s strategic focus on integrating search capabilities into its conversational platform, positioning ChatGPT as a viable alternative for everyday queries.
While Google remains the dominant search engine, the reported 20% share signals a notable rise in AI‑driven search adoption. OpenAI plans to continue expanding ChatGPT’s search functionality to capture a larger portion of the market.
