The AI tools market just had its most dramatic year ever. ChatGPT lost nearly 20 points of market share. Google Gemini doubled its user base to 750 million.
Claude became the most valuable AI platform per user, generating $2.2 billion in enterprise revenue. And a free, open-source model from China called DeepSeek proved you don’t need billions of dollars to build competitive AI.
In this special season break episode, Carlo Thompson delivers a complete market report on every major AI tool: ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Grok, GitHub Copilot, and AI image generators.
But this isn’t a product review. It’s a threat assessment. Each tool is mapped directly to the job functions it’s automating and the sectors where displacement is already happening.
