Key Finding 1:

High Daily Usage and Tool Diversity Among Professionals

The data shows a high level of daily AI tool engagement across both user groups, with particularly strong usage among working professionals. Among the 75 non-student respondents, 55 reported using AI tools daily, representing 73.3% of the group. This suggests that AI tools have become embedded in the everyday workflows of professionals, supporting a wide range of tasks from productivity and content creation to research and analysis.

In contrast, 50% of student respondents reported daily usage. While this indicates growing familiarity and interest in AI within academic environments, the frequency of use among students appears less consistent and more situational.

When examining how many tools are used concurrently, nearly half of professional respondents (43%) reported using multiple AI tools, while 52% said they typically rely on a single tool. A small minority (5%) indicated that they are not currently using AI tools. This distribution reflects a spectrum of behaviours within the professional segment, ranging from tool loyalty to ongoing experimentation.

While students were more likely to explore different tools across categories, their usage behaviours appear more exploratory and less anchored to daily routines. This group may still benefit from improved ways of managing and revisiting tools, especially when experimenting across platforms.
