Sensor Tower 2025年《State of AI Apps Report》显示,AI应用市场已跨越早期采用阶段,进入主流渗透期。ChatGPT在2025年7月成为最快达到10亿全球下载量的应用(iOS+Google Play),且MAU突破5亿的速度同样创下纪录。用户行为数据揭示了重要趋势:ChatGPT的周末使用率显著上升,工作周与周末的活跃度差异大幅收窄,表明其从生产力工具演变为类似Google的日常依赖型应用。美国用户提示词分析进一步佐证,2024Q2至2025Q2期间,生活方式与娱乐类提示词份额增长最快,其中健康与健康类增幅居首,而编程辅助、语言学习等传统强用例的份额则有所萎缩。
垂直应用领域的AI渗透已不可逆转。2023年ChatGPT发布后,提及AI相关术语(如"AI"、"machine learning"、"LLM")的应用数量激增。健康与健康、职业与教育、生活服务、金融服务四个类别在2025上半年均有超过200款应用新增AI关键词。AI助手正在侵蚀教育、营养与饮食、预算管理等细分市场,迫使各垂直应用必须嵌入差异化的AI功能以维持竞争力。例如,营养与饮食类应用已将AI卡路里扫描仪设为标配,以避免被ChatGPT等通用AI替代。
从广告技术视角看,生成式AI品牌的数字广告支出正处于快速增长期。头部AI助手(如ChatGPT、DeepSeek)的UA策略正从早期的高效用户获取转向更广泛的休闲用户触达。广告主需要关注AI应用在SKAN环境下的归因挑战和MMP适配,同时利用AI技术优化投放策略,实现增量提效。报告涵盖24个市场的动态数据,涉及受众洞察、垂直AI应用、App Store优化及广告趋势四大板块,为UA经理和产品运营提供了从用户画像到竞价策略的完整决策参考。
Banking apps are vital digital channels requiring granular measurement to optimize user acquisition, engagement, and retention amid strict privacy regulations. Key challenges include measuring sensitive conversions, preventing fraud, and personalizing experiences without compromising compliance. Granular event tracking, deep linking, and anti-fraud solutions are essential. Banks must measure early-funnel milestones, re-activate dormant users, and leverage owned media for cost-effective re-engagement. Advanced attribution methods like SKAdNetwork, probabilistic modeling, and data clean rooms help navigate privacy changes. Effective measurement drives long-term customer value and validates mobile's impact on business outcomes.
Generative AI app downloads hit 1.7B in H1 2025 (+67% HoH), with IAP revenue near $1.9B (double HoH). ChatGPT dominates at 63% of revenue, but Asia (80% growth) and emerging apps like DeepSeek signal market shifts. For ad ops, this means expanding inventory in fast-growing regions and competing with AI chatbots for user attention.
OpenAI's Instant Checkout and Apps SDK transform ChatGPT into an operating system for human-app interaction, blurring lines between search, apps, and commerce. For ad ops decision-makers, this means a shift from app installs to intent-driven conversations, requiring new attribution models focused on completed actions, not downloads. Brands must build API-first, conversation-ready services, comply with ChatGPT standards, and optimize for agentic commerce, where measurement and feedback loops become critical for targeting and personalization.
Most marketing AI fails due to poor data foundations: fragmented, unstructured, or inconsistent data leads to flawed insights. AI needs governed, contextual, and real-time data to function reliably. For ad ops decision-makers, ensuring data completeness, consistency across sources, and governance is critical before scaling AI. Richer, well-documented data improves attribution, fraud detection, and automation. The key takeaway: AI is only as smart as the data it consumes.
AI assistants are becoming integral to daily routines, with ChatGPT users averaging 13 monthly sessions, rivaling platforms like X and Reddit. While Google remains dominant for information seeking (18 days/month), ChatGPT's use cases are diversifying, with lifestyle and entertainment prompts rising from 22% to 35% of total in one year. Work and education still account for 60% of prompts, but growth in niche categories signals expanding consumer comfort. For ad ops, this indicates opportunities for targeted campaigns across varied use cases and the importance of integrating AI into digital strategies.
Meta launches Business AI, a turnkey sales concierge for WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook/Instagram ads, and websites. Early adopters like Julep (13% ROAS lift) and Solgaard (6x higher conversion rates) show strong results. Setup is stress-free—AI learns from existing posts and ads. Business AI is free for ads and affordable for messaging/websites. For ad ops decision-makers, this means scalable, 24/7 personalized customer engagement that drives conversions and lowers costs, with easy integration and no technical expertise required.
TikTok's full-funnel automation, integrating creative, media, and measurement, addresses fragmentation in AI tools. Brands using Smart+ and GMV Max see improved ROAS and CPA. Case studies show Naturium achieved 3.5x ROAS, PHLUR 191% higher ROAS, and Leatherman 97% revenue increase. Symphony and Content Suite enable scalable, authentic content. The key is pairing automation with strategic storytelling.
LLMs like ChatGPT are becoming a primary discovery channel, driving higher-intent traffic than traditional search. Marketers face challenges in visibility, attribution, and optimization. Key strategies include writing for AI with concise answers, using UTM tracking, leveraging deep linking (e.g., AppsFlyer OneLink), implementing schema markup, and establishing web-to-app attribution flows to measure and optimize AI-driven growth.
