Microsoft has a problem: lack of demand for its AI products

> FirstPageSage AI Chatbot Usage Chart (December 3, 2025)

What a bizarre way to organize the chart. Clearly Anthropic is leading -- their early bet on "programming" as the main use case is paying off.

The recent report from Openrouter [1] confirms as much: coding is the number one use case, with role playing / fantasy writing in second place.

I have a feeling the remaining use cases will never dominate, instead they will slowly mature into acceptable practices across the various industries. That will probably take longer than the investment bubble can hold though.

Claude Code usage probably isn't counted as "chatbot" use. Also, I think you're overestimating how many people program vs. how many people are using AI chatbots as the new websearch. Orders of magnitude more of the latter.
