GoKawiila16z partner Olivia Moore publishes report on top 100 consumer AI apps
Andreessen Horowitz partner Olivia Moore released a report ranking the top 100 consumer AI apps, finding ChatGPT remains dominant while smaller apps like Suno and ElevenLabs retain strong usage. The report also identifies several consumer categories that remain largely untouched by AI products. In an interview, Moore argued consumer AI's revenue model needs to move beyond subscriptions and API fees to find new monetization paths.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The report arrives amid growing pessimism about consumer AI economics, as OpenAI shifts emphasis toward enterprise customers and subscription-based revenue remains concentrated among a small share of households. Moore's framing suggests that growth may come less from expanding paying subscribers and more from alternative monetization models, which could reshape how investors value consumer AI startups. Her identification of untapped categories hints at where new entrants might find opportunity, though this remains speculative until products emerge.
