Information-seeking accounted for 20.2% of sampled messages from individual ChatGPT accounts in September 2026, up from 16.7% in July 2024. The percentage is a share of messages, not account holders or searches. Signals groups requests for specific information, purchasable products, cooking and recipes under the information-seeking label. The classification does not show whether a message used ChatGPT Search, accessed the web or led to an outside website. OpenAI updated Signals on Oct. 26. The sample covers July 2024 through September 2026 and includes individual use on ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus and Pro accounts. Organizational use is tracked separately.
