Use.ai Reaches 1 Million Monthly Users as the Average AI User Now Runs Three Assistants

Use.ai, a San Francisco-based company, has reached 1 million monthly active users less than a year after launch. The platform offers access to over 10 leading AI models through a single subscription and interface. The average American AI user now relies on three general-purpose assistants, up from 2.2 a year earlier. ChatGPT's share of worldwide generative AI web traffic has declined from 86.7% in January 2025 to 55.5% in August 2026, while Gemini climbed to 25.6% and Claude to 9.3%.

Consumers are spreading their questions across multiple models, making each new model release a decision point between staying with their preferred assistant or trying the best-performing one. Use.ai's workspace allows users to seamlessly switch between models like GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and DeepSeek in a single conversation, preserving context across conversations.

The company offers three pricing plans: a free plan, a Pro plan at $19.99 per month, and a Max plan at $116.99 per month. The free tier features an Answer Engine built on open-weights models, while the paid plans provide access to premium models from various providers. The share of users across the leading assistants has grown significantly, with ChatGPT's share falling from 86.7% in January 2025 to 55.5% in August 2026, while Gemini and Claude increased their market share.

This trend indicates that no single AI assistant is dominating the market, as users are increasingly utilizing multiple models to meet their needs.
