FROM THE FRONTIER

Microsoft analyzed 37.5 million Copilot chats. Here’s what it learned about how people use AI.

One of the largest AI usage studies yet. Microsoft recently analyzed 37.5 million de-identified Copilot conversations from January through September of 2025. It’s one of the first large-scale looks at how people are actually using AI — here’s what they found.

Three topics dominate. Health & wellness ranked #1 every single month and was the only topic that never fluctuated — a sign that people consistently turn to Copilot for support in living healthier lives. Society, culture, & history took second place, with technology rounding out the top three.

AI usage mirrors human rhythms. The data reveals fascinating patterns: religion and philosophy questions spike during the early morning hours when people presumably can't sleep and start pondering life's biggest questions. Meanwhile, travel conversations peak during afternoon commutes as people plan logistics and trips.

From search engine to confidant. Searching for information is the primary way people use Copilot, but Microsoft reports a measurable increase in people seeking personal advice — navigating relationships, making life decisions, even planning Valentine's Day activities. The data suggests that people are increasingly looping AI in on their most personal decisions.
