A new personal AI agent reached 10.9 million downloads in just six weeks following its September 8 launch, according to Sensor Tower data reported by Yahoo Finance.
More than 10.2 million of those downloads came from the United States alone, signaling powerful domestic appetite for next-generation AI assistants.
Sensor Tower estimates the new agent hit approximately 2.5 million daily active users for the first time on October 16, with daily users climbing 15% week over week.
Only 11 other apps in history have reached 10 million U.S. downloads within 40 days, placing this launch among the fastest consumer technology rollouts on record.
A Deutsche Bank analyst projected the product could account for as much as 8% of its parent company’s revenue by 2030, roughly $36 billion, with a low-end estimate of $2.4 billion.
Over the past 30 days, U.S. downloads of a leading competing chatbot app fell 25% from the prior 30-day period, underscoring how unsettled the AI assistant market remains.
