Google’s AI platform Gemini has lost traffic share to OpenAI’s ChatGPT for the second consecutive month, according to digital intelligence data from SimilarWeb. The platform's declining web engagement comes amid intensifying global competition among leading foundation model providers in both consumer and enterprise generative AI markets. While Google continues to integrate Gemini capabilities across its broader product ecosystem, including Search and Android, standalone traffic metrics indicate that ChatGPT retains a dominant lead in user adoption, posing sustained competitive challenges for Google's core generative AI consumer offerings.
