The use of artificial intelligence technology is increasingly prevalent among developers, as they follow the trend to enhance their mobile apps and expand their user base. Recent data provided by Sensor Tower reveals a substantial rise in the number of productivity apps incorporating the term “AI” in their names. 

More developers using AI

In 2020, a mere 3% of such apps embraced this technology, while in the first quarter of 2023, that figure surged significantly to reach 34%.

Consequently, the Play Store and App Store saw a notable surge in downloads and revenue for these AI-powered apps throughout the initial three months of this year. The revenue generated soared to an impressive $20 million, marking a remarkable growth of 396% compared to the preceding quarter.

Is your privacy opt-in rate costing you $525,000 a year?

The gap between a 65% and 90%+ privacy opt-in rate can mean $525,000 in lost revenue annually for a 100K DAU app — and most teams have no idea where they stand.

This guide breaks down the true cost of consent debt, why the average app sits at just 80% opt-in, and the exact tactics top performers use to consistently hit 90%+: prompt timing, banner design, vendor list optimization, and more.

Simultaneously, the number of installations experienced a substantial upswing, surpassing 45.8 million, which represents a remarkable increase of 378% compared to the previous quarter.

Throughout this period, the US emerged as the leading market for these apps, witnessing a substantial number of downloads and revenue. Impressively, they garnered nearly 10 million installs in the country, marking an impressive quarter-over-quarter growth of 550%. Moreover, these apps generated a remarkable revenue of $8.3 million.

Chatbots come out top for downloads

The latest report also provided insights into the most popular AI-powered Android and iOS apps that experienced the highest number of downloads and revenue during the initial quarter of 2023. Leading the charts in both categories was the app “AI Chatbot” developed by Vulcan Labs, which amassed an impressive 9.5 million downloads and generated $3.3 million in gross revenue.

In terms of downloads, Microsoft’s newly introduced AI-powered Bing app claimed the second spot of the quarter, accumulating 7.3 million new installations. Following closely were “Genie – AI Chatbot” by AppNation, “AI Chat – Chatbot AI Assistant” by Social Media Apps, and “ELSA: AI Learn” by ELSA, securing the third, fourth, and fifth positions, respectively.
