- ChatGPT has reached 1.2 billion weekly active users, according to consumer product lead Adam Fry.
- Adam Fry said the assistant added 200 million weekly users over the past two months, underscoring how quickly the consumer base is expanding.
- Google's search volume is now roughly five times ChatGPT's, per Fry — putting a 1.2B-weekly-user assistant at about a fifth of the search leader's query footprint.
- Alex Kantrowitz interviewed Fry for Big Technology about ChatGPT's growth, the cost of personal agents, and plans for personal agents, an agent-economics angle the growth figures eclipse.
Why it matters: Google's query footprint is about five times ChatGPT's, while the assistant behind it added 200 million weekly users in two months. Fry himself addressed the less-touted side of that growth: what personal agents cost, which the user-count headline leaves in the shade.
