Top Tier: 20 Gen AI Consumer Apps
In February 2026, ChatGPT is still the internet's default AI.
5.72B monthly web visits. 297M active users on mobile.
But zoom out, and the picture gets more interesting: AI photo, video, and image tools occupying top spots. A meme generator reaching 1.5M monthly active users. A regional chatbot outpacing global players in mobile traction.
LLM giants like Grok, DeepSeek, and Claude maintain a strong user pull on the web. However, on mobile, more variety is emerging with roleplay platforms, image generation sites, and dev tools gaining noticeable traffic.
This underscores how geography, device habits, and use case preferences are carving out distinct winners in consumer AI.

Breakout Stars
Mobile and web apps growing remarkably in the last three months.

Co-founded by Mark Manson (The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fck* fame) and Raj Singh, Purpose helps users cut through mental clutter via reflection, chat, and actionable steps. It learns user patterns over time and gets more personalized. Its hyper-growth is majorly driven by Manson’s audience, viral sharing, and strong fit in the booming AI self-improvement category.
Anything: AI app builder
50K total visits, up 12,681% in 3 months
Founded by former Google product leaders Dhruv Amin and Marcus Lowe (formerly Create.xyz), Anything turns a plain-language prompt into a full-stack app: UI, backend, database, auth, and payments included.
Driven by viral momentum ($2M ARR achieved just weeks after launch) and $19.5M funding from Footwork and Bessemer, Anything is benefiting from the “vibe coding” boom.
DressX: AI stylist and virtual try-on
26.9K total visits, up 2,857% in 3 months
Founded by Daria Shapovalova and Natalia Modenova, DressX Agent lets users build a digital twin from one selfie, then shop and style across 200+ luxury brands and 1M+ products. Backed by $19.2M in funding, including a $15M Series A led by Greenfield.
Fueled by the launch of DRESSX Agent in late 2025 (with $2M in luxury merchandise) and a strong product-market fit in the ballooning virtual try-on market.
Kling AI: AI video and image generation
2.3M active users, up 127% in 3 months
Launched in June 2024 by Kuaishou Technology, one of China's largest short-video platforms, Kling AI generates production-ready video from text, images, or reference footage, directly competing with Sora, Runway, and Veo on product depth, not just price. Its latest model, Kling 3.0 (launched early 2026), adds multi-scene narrative control, multilingual audio, and character consistency across shots—capabilities previously locked behind professional post-production tools.
Kling has rapidly grown to 60M+ creators since launch and hit a $240M annualized revenue run rate in December 2025.
