How we counted
The numbers come from the bots' action log, which records the type, size, duration and outcome of each event — no file contents, texts or names. Only totals are published. The log starts on 24 October 2026; days are counted in UTC.
“New people” are those who opened at least one of the bots for the first time in the period; “got a result” — those who received at least one finished file. Shares are rounded to whole percent.
