Anish Acharya: 我认为我们仍然处于早期采用阶段。许多类别才刚刚开始,甚至仍在基础设施建设阶段向应用建设阶段过渡。许多看似正确的假设最终会被证明是错误的,例如AI擅长交易互动,但人际关系仍需人类;人类将工作委托给AI,但AI也可能将工作委托给我们。AI视频生成技术正在成熟,并涌现出新的视频模型,例如Hailuo、Kling和Sora。我们还看到“vibe coding”产品(如Cursor和Bolt)的兴起,它们降低了代码创建的成本,让更多人能够创建应用。 Olivia Moore: Gen AI 100榜单的排名完全基于数据,网络榜单基于SimilarWeb的月访问量,移动榜单基于Sensor Tower的月活跃用户数,今年首次增加了基于收入的排名。ChatGPT的网站访问量在2023年2月至2024年2月期间保持平稳,之后出现大幅增长,周活跃用户数在过去六个月从2亿增长到4亿。本榜单首次对移动应用的收入进行了排名,发现收入排名和用户使用排名之间存在显著差异,用户规模较小的应用,其每用户收入往往更高。照片和视频生成器、编辑器以及美颜滤镜是主要类别。移动应用中,照片和视频生成器、编辑器以及美颜滤镜是主要类别。视频应用更多的是移动优先现象,因为许多视频应用都与手机的便捷性有关。 主持人: 过去六个月,消费者AI领域发生了巨大变化,一些产品快速增长,一些产品停滞不前,一些意外的参与者彻底改变了排行榜。本期节目将探讨最新的排名和过去几年的AI关键时刻,以及哪些应用位居榜首,以及哪些应用正在悄然崛起。消费者行为通常滞后于研究进展6-12个月,许多看似正确的假设最终会被证明是错误的。

Shownotes Transcript

This month, a16z’s Consumer team released the fourth edition of the GenAI 100 — a data-driven ranking of the top 50 AI-first web products and mobile apps, based on unique monthly visits and active users.

In just six months, the consumer AI landscape has shifted dramatically. Some products surged ahead, others plateaued, and a few unexpected players reshaped the leaderboard entirely.

In this episode, a16z General Partner Anish Acharya and Partner Olivia Moore join us to unpack the latest rankings and explore the key cultural and product moments that brought us to this point.

Which applications are leading the pack — and which ones are quietly on the rise? What do trends like AI video, companion apps, and “vibe coding” reveal about the future of consumer AI? And for the first time, the team also analyzed which products aren’t just gaining users, but generating real revenue.

If you’re looking to understand where we are in the GenAI adoption cycle — and what might come next — this episode offers a data-backed view into one of the fastest-moving corners of technology.
