About ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a generative chatbot from OpenAI, the San Francisco research lab Wikipedia dates to a December 2015 founding with Sam Altman among the co-chairs, and the search series has held in the 70s and 80s for most of 2026.
OpenAI published the product on November 30 2022 as a free research preview on GPT-3.5. Reuters, citing a UBS note on February 1 2023 and Similarweb traffic, estimated 100 million monthly active users in January 2023, two months after launch, then the fastest ramp a consumer app had posted. Wikipedia says weekly active users reached 900 million in February 2026, lists a June 18 2026 stable release on engine GPT-5.6, and counts 59 languages. ChatGPT Plus launched in February 2023 at $20 a month. iOS and Android apps arrived between May and July 2023. People search chatgpt to open the product, to compare models, and to chase whatever OpenAI shipped that week. The query will still be typed in November. The 2022 zero is gone.
What the time series shows
The stored Google Search series for chatgpt runs 261 weeks from August 28 2021 at 0 to August 22 2026 at 80, a 1,820-day window that stays at 0 until 4 on December 10 2022, the first week after launch.
Same-week prints tell the adoption curve: 15 on August 19 2023, 29 on August 24 2024, 87 on August 23 2025, then 80 this week. The series peaks at 100 on September 20 2025, with 94 on September 13 and 99 on November 22 2025. April 5 2025 printed 94, an earlier local high. Winter break still cuts it: 64 on December 27 2025 and 60 on January 3 2026, then 73, 84, and back into the 70s and 80s. August 2026 is 75, 73, 73, then 80. growth_label is regular because +3.9% over 30 days sits under +100% and -2.44% over 90 days is not a 500% surge. speed_label is stationary because the absolute 30-day percent change is under 10%. seasonality_label is low: the curve is a single multi-year rise from zero, then a plateau in the 70s and 80s, not a repeating holiday mountain. volatility_label is low; last-52 week-over-week sample standard deviation is 7.87% (n=52, skip 0). The four labels are derived from this series. Google Search data is the source behind every percentage on this page.
