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.

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.
