## Summary

Andreessen Horowitz partner Olivia Moore says consumer AI still presents a major opportunity, despite revenue being concentrated in subscriptions and token usage. In her report on the top 100 consumer AI apps, ChatGPT is by far the leader; Suno and ElevenLabs show staying power, while roughly half a dozen categories still appear untouched by AI.

Moore says she does not necessarily want the share of U.S. households paying for AI to rise from 2.2%; she would rather see free access supported by ads, with subscriptions as an option. She also sees room for cheaper models and open source to reduce costs. According to Moore, companies such as Gamma, ElevenLabs and Cursor started as consumer-focused businesses and became majority-enterprise companies within 18 months, blurring the line between the two markets.

## Why it matters (editorial interpretation)

Olivia Moore’s analysis suggests that the consumer AI market may depend on monetization models beyond subscriptions, including advertising, while cheaper and open-source models could reduce costs. The rapid shift of companies such as Gamma, ElevenLabs and Cursor toward enterprise customers also suggests a less distinct boundary between the two segments.
