A Look at How Many Prompts ChatGPT Handles Daily and Who’s Using It Most
ChatGPT isn’t just a viral tool anymore — it’s now handling billions of prompts a day and quietly becoming one of the most used technologies on the planet.
OpenAI has shared new data revealing just how many prompts ChatGPT handles daily — over 2.5 billion globally, with more than 330 million coming from U.S. users alone.
The company confirmed the figures this week, marking the first time it has publicly shared detailed usage numbers. The scale highlights just how deeply embedded the chatbot has become in daily digital routines around the world.
ChatGPT now has over 500 million weekly active users, according to OpenAI. Most of them rely on the free version, reinforcing how widespread access — not just enterprise use — is fueling the chatbot’s growth.
The newly released numbers paint a clear picture:
- 2.5+ billion prompts sent each day
- 330+ million daily prompts from the U.S.
- 500+ million people use ChatGPT weekly
- Free users make up the majority
While OpenAI didn’t specify how these prompts break down by use case, ChatGPT continues to be popular for tasks ranging from writing and coding to brainstorming, tutoring, and casual querying.
The figures suggest that ChatGPT isn’t just a passing novelty — it’s become a daily tool for hundreds of millions, across education, work, and life.
