A compact reference for publicly sourced statistics about AI use and AI search in Indonesia. Each number below keeps the source's original population and scope. Secondary reporting is labelled as such, and a source should not be treated as primary unless it publishes the underlying study.

AI use in Indonesia

71%
of all 1,423 respondents in Jakpat's 2025 survey had used AI. This is not the share of AI users who use ChatGPT. Source: Jakpat survey reported by DailySocial, 2025 (retrieved July 2026)
74%
of AI users in the same Jakpat survey selected ChatGPT. The denominator is the survey's AI-user subgroup, not all Indonesians. Source: Jakpat survey reported by DailySocial, 2025 (retrieved July 2026)
#14
Indonesia's position in the cited Katadata 2025 country dataset, which reported a 37.9% metric. The source does not support a top-five claim. Source: Databoks / Katadata, 2025 (retrieved July 2026)
43.7%
the share of active AI users attributed to Gen Z in APJII's 2025 survey reporting, compared with 22.3% for millennials. Source: APJII findings reported by UGM, 2025 (retrieved July 2026)

AI search milestones in Indonesia

  • October 2024: Google expanded AI Overviews to Indonesia and Indonesian-language queries (Google).
  • September 9, 2025: Google Indonesia published its announcement that AI Mode was available in Indonesia and supported Bahasa Indonesia (Google Indonesia).

Global research that can inform an Indonesian test

These studies are not Indonesia-specific. They are useful for forming hypotheses, not for claiming that Indonesian users or queries behave identically.

43.8%
of citation types in Ahrefs' narrow study were best-list pages. The study covered 750 top-of-funnel prompts in software, products, and agencies, with 26,283 cited URLs. It should not be generalized to every query or local market. Source: Ahrefs, 2025 (retrieved July 2026)
37.9%
of Google AI Overview citations in a later Ahrefs sample ranked in Google's top 10. This was a sample result, not a universal rule or a causal test. Source: Ahrefs (retrieved July 2026)
87%
of citations in one historical Seer study of 500-plus SearchGPT citations matched leading Bing organic results. The study shows overlap in that product snapshot, not ChatGPT Search's complete current mechanism. Source: Seer Interactive (retrieved July 2026)
r ≈ 0.66–0.74
reported correlations between brand mentions and AI visibility in Ahrefs' brand study. Correlation does not establish that creating mentions will cause the same visibility change. Source: Ahrefs, 75,000 brands (retrieved July 2026)

What is not included

We removed a previously published statistic about Indonesian consumers using AI for product research. The linked article did not expose enough study methodology to independently confirm the sample, fieldwork, institutional attribution, or subgroup figures. It can be restored if the original report and methodology are made available.

How to use these numbers

Preserve the denominator, market, date, and study design whenever you cite a number. For brand decisions, use these findings to design a local measurement panel rather than treating a global correlation as an Indonesian forecast. Our GEO service page explains the measurement-first approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Indonesians in the cited Jakpat survey used AI?

Jakpat surveyed 1,423 respondents in 2025. DailySocial's report says 71% of all respondents had used AI. Among respondents who used AI, 74% selected ChatGPT. Those are two different denominators and should not be combined.

What is the most-used AI assistant in the Jakpat survey?

ChatGPT. It was selected by 74% of the survey's AI users, according to DailySocial's reporting of Jakpat's 2025 survey.

Is Indonesia a top-five ChatGPT market?

Not according to the Katadata source previously cited on this page. That article placed Indonesia 14th in its 2025 dataset, so we do not describe Indonesia as a top-five market.

Is Google AI search available in Bahasa Indonesia?

Yes. Google expanded AI Overviews to Indonesia and Indonesian-language queries in October 2024. Google Indonesia published its AI Mode launch announcement on September 9, 2025.
