I found this post on X with the following caption:
"Gemini moved from 6% to 22% of GenAI web traffic in a year while ChatGPT dropped from 87% to 65% which to me shows user changing behavior. Gemini shows up where questions already live inside Search, Chrome, Android & Workspace so new AI usage does not require a new habit, a new app or a new URL but it simply shows up."

But I wonder the real reason behind this rise in traffic could be something else. Gemini has offered 1 year of free\* subscription to Pro for Indian users. And it's one of the largest markets. So the rise in traffic could simply be because of that.
So, it may not be because of Geminis superior tech or access to Search, Chrome, Android & Workspace. It's simply due to free subscriptions. In that case, there's a good chance that these numbers could drop once the free offering ends, given how price sensitive Indians are.
