The personal AI assistant market supports this trend by offering intelligent, context-aware assistants that learn user preferences, integrate with multiple platforms, and deliver real-time, actionable insights. For instance, in December 2025, according to Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, 20% of enterprises with 10 or more employees reported using artificial intelligence technologies in their operations in 2025, representing a 6.5 percentage point increase from 13.5% in 2024. Therefore, the increasing adoption of AI-driven productivity is driving the growth of the personal artificial intelligence (AI) assistant market.

Major companies operating in the personal artificial intelligence (AI) assistant market are concentrating on the development of technologically advanced solutions, such as autonomous task-executing AI agents, to boost productivity by enabling direct interaction with software applications, web browsers, and files. Autonomous task-executing AI agents are software systems that can independently plan, make decisions, and execute multi-step tasks to achieve specific objectives with minimal human intervention. For example, in July 2025, OpenAI, a US-based artificial intelligence research company, introduced the ChatGPT Agent, an autonomous task-executing personal assistant capable of interacting with files and web browsers. This AI assistant extends beyond conversational capabilities by allowing users to access local files, manage documents, and perform web-based actions through natural language commands. It is designed to bridge the gap between information retrieval and actionable system control, helping users streamline workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and efficiently navigate both local and online environments.

In December 2025, ServiceNow Inc., a US-based provider of cloud-based workflow automation and digital enterprise solutions, acquired Moveworks Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, ServiceNow seeks to strengthen its personal AI assistant capabilities by integrating Moveworks’ AI-driven natural language automation, conversational bot technologies, and real-time support workflows. This integration is intended to deliver more intuitive and automated assistance for employee and IT service experiences across enterprise environments. Moveworks Inc. is a US-based AI platform company that specializes in autonomous, natural language personal assistant solutions designed to improve workplace support and operational efficiency.
