In 2025, 70% of the world's top 100 AI applications are from China.
The influence of APP as a super entrance has deeply penetrated into the fabric of daily life. In the era of AI, the way people use APPs and tools is also changing. Combining various mainstream AI APP lists, APP traffic, user reviews, and other dimensions, Pengpai News selected the top 100 AI APPs globally worth paying attention to in 2025. Most of these APPs are from leading technology companies and internet giants both domestically and abroad. In addition, some startup AI companies have brought new AI product experiences, especially AI Agent products. Tianyancha data shows that the companies behind the top 100 global AI applications are mainly from Chinese enterprises. Chinese companies account for 71% of the AI applications developed domestically, including 15 that are AI applications going global like Manus and Dify. These applications cover a wide range of application scenarios, such as content creation, office work, and search research, building a vast product landscape. Among the top 100 AI APPs, 8% are products primarily serving enterprise users, like Huoyan Ark. The main players behind the top 100 global AI APPs are mainly Silicon Valley tech giants and domestic internet giants. ByteDance, Alibaba, Tencent, and Baidu, the four domestic internet giants, own nearly a quarter of the total number of AI APPs, with ByteDance leading with 12 of its own AI APPs. These giants' "own children" products are closely related to their own businesses, for example, AI APPs focusing on video generation Dream and Keling are respectively from two leading short video platforms ByteDance and Kuaishou, and these two companies are also considered powerful competitors in the field of multimodal large models domestically.
