AI trends in Germany: what is in demand.
Every week we look at how often people in Germany search for the AI tools in our directory and how often their Wikipedia articles are viewed. The figures show what many people are interested in right now, not which tool is best.
Updated weekly
The figures come from Google Trends (search interest in Germany, last 7 days compared with the 7 days before) and from the Wikimedia Foundation’s view counts for the German and English Wikipedia articles. We update the page once a week, together with the AI weekly review.

On the rise
Tools gaining ground right now.
At least 25% more search interest or Wikipedia views than the previous week. For Wikipedia we count the German and English articles together or the German article alone, as it reflects interest in German-speaking countries. For Google we only count tools with enough search interest, for Wikipedia only from 300 views a week, so small random swings do not show up as trends.
Ranking
Search interest in Germany.
Google Trends does not publish search counts but an index. We set ChatGPT to 100; a value of 10 means roughly a tenth as many searches. The bars use a square-root scale so small values stay visible.

Method
How the figures are made.
Google Trends
Search interest in Germany for the tool’s name, summed per week and compared with the same query for ChatGPT. We retrieve the data through a service provider (SerpApi) and leave out the current, incomplete day.
Wikipedia
Views by people (excluding detected bots) according to Wikimedia, for the German and English articles. The figures appear with a delay of 2 to 3 days; we use the last 7 days with data.
Ambiguous names
If a tool is named like an everyday word (such as Make, Gamma or Cursor), Google also counts every other search for it. For these tools we show no Google value, only Wikipedia views.
What the figures do not say
How good a tool is, whether it is privacy-compliant and whether it suits your company. We assess that tool by tool in the AI tools directory.

Which AI tool fits your workflows?
In demand does not mean the right fit. We work out with you which tools solve your tasks, what they cost to run and how to introduce them in a privacy-compliant way.
