ChatGPT Goes Personal; Claude Used for Coding
17 Sep 2025- OpenAI and Anthropic usage reports show Claude users focus on coding, ChatGPT on writing and advice, rising personal use (53%→73%) and rapid growth in low/middle‑income countries, and increasing information‑seeking/task delegation.
OpenAI and Anthropic published new usage data showing how people actually use conversational AI across their platforms. The reports highlight clear differences in workloads: Claude users skew toward coding tasks, while ChatGPT conversations lean more toward writing, decision support and advice-seeking rather than pure content generation.
One striking trend: ChatGPT’s non‑work (personal) traffic rose sharply — from about 53% of messages in June 2024 to roughly 73% by 2025 — meaning everyday, non‑professional use is growing faster than workplace use. Geographically, adoption diverges too: ChatGPT is expanding rapidly in low‑ and middle‑income countries (growing ~4x faster), whereas Claude usage remains concentrated in wealthier regions.
Both platforms also show users increasingly delegating tasks to models and using them more as information‑seeking/search tools than simply generators of outputs. Taken together, the findings suggest AI is spreading beyond enterprise workflows into daily life, with regional and demographic patterns shaping which platforms gain traction and for what use cases.
