About Who is using AI?
Who is using AI? is a free, live world map of where AI coding tools are being adopted — a "Global AI Adoption Index" that lets anyone search their city and see how it stacks up against the rest of the planet.
How it works
Every city gets a 1–100 AI-adoption index built from two public signals:
- Developer density — how many developers are based in that city, from GitHub's public search.
- AI-tool interest — how much a country is searching for AI coding tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor, from Google Trends.
Those combine (and are log-normalized) into the heat you see on the map: cool blue where AI is just warming up, neon red where it's cooking. The data is refreshed daily, and you can search essentially any city on Earth on demand to get a live figure.
An honest note on the numbers
The index is an aggregated, public-data estimate — a playful proxy for "AI-coding energy," not a census or a precise headcount of individuals. It contains no personal data, and we're not affiliated with GitHub, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any tool it references.
Frequently asked questions
What is Who is using AI?
A free, live world map that shows where AI coding tools are being adopted, across 1,679 cities in 197 countries. Search any city to see how many developers are there and how it ranks globally.
Where does the data come from?
Two public sources: developer density per city from GitHub's public search, and interest in AI coding tools (GitHub Copilot and Cursor) per country from Google Trends — combined into a single 1–100 index.
How many cities and countries does it cover?
1,679 cities across 197 countries and territories, plus on-demand search for essentially any city on Earth.
Is the data real-time?
The map is refreshed daily; individual city searches are live.
Is it free?
Yes — completely free, no login, no account, no ads.
Who built it?
PIXIPACE. It isn't affiliated with any AI company or tool it references.
Is the AI-adoption number a real headcount?
No — it's a playful, aggregated public-data estimate of AI-coding energy, not a census of individual people.
