Which AI chatbots do people use in the United States?

StatCounter lists 6 AI chatbot rows for the United States for October 2026, under its own product names. StatCounter does not describe how it measures AI chatbot share on the pages read, so no method is claimed here. Its product names are broader or narrower than the engine profiles on this site, so each linked name opens the engine profile it is matched to. StatCounter Global Stats
