4. AI Chatbots Index Cambodia 🇰ðŸ‡
To give a clearer picture, this report uses an index that combines three key signals:
- Search interest (30%) – shows what people are interested in
- App usage (40%) – shows real usage, especially on mobile
- Web usage (30%) – shows how people use AI on the web
To combine different data sources, each metric is converted into a comparable 0–100 scale. App rankings are averaged across platforms and converted into scores, while search and web data are already comparable.
Index Formula: Final Score = (Search × 30%) + (App × 40%) + (Web × 30%)
| Rank | Tool | Search | App | Web | Final Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ChatGPT | 51 | 100 | 83 | 80 |
| 2 | Gemini | 32 | 85 | 8 | 46 |
| 3 | Claude | 2 | 70 | 1 | 29 |
| 3 | Grok | 2 | 70 | 0 | 29 |
| 5 | DeepSeek | 4 | 50 | 0 | 21 |
| 6 | Copilot | 1 | 30 | 4 | 14 |
| 7 | Perplexity | 1 | 20 | 3 | 9 |
Note: App scores are estimated from combined iOS and Google Play rankings. Tools with similar positions, such as Claude and Grok, receive the same score and share the same rank. Final scores are weighted combined values and are not normalized to 100.
