02 · country shifts
Top 10 per-country tool moves of the month. share of Google search interest — relative preference, not usage counts.

04 · the news that moved markets
Correlation, not causation — a share move next to a headline is circumstantial evidence, not proof.
reaction = the linked tools’ combined global search-share move over the 7 days after publication. Of the month’s 181 archived items, these 5 sat next to the largest moves. The full wire is at /tracker/news.
05 · methodology
This page is generated by a script, on the day stamped above, from the tracker’s own data files — no human wrote these numbers and no language model summarized them. Shares are anchor-normalized Google Trends search interest across 26 AI tools and 85 countries (share of Google search interest — relative preference, not usage counts). The race table reads the global daily series; country shifts read the daily snapshot archive; records read the record book; news reactions read the wire’s baked 7-day deltas. This month is closed: the report is frozen — the numbers on this page no longer change.
