Scope: A VPN changes the network path and exit IP. It does not change account country, payment, age, eligibility, subscription, feature entitlement, or platform rules.

Where Are Popular AI Tools Available? Use this dated index of sources, not a promise that a tool will work for every person. The same provider can expose different rules for its web app, API, mobile app, account type, plan, or feature rollout. Record the exact surface before you classify a result.

Key Takeaways

Availability can differ by web, API, mobile app, account, plan, and feature.

A provider’s dated source is stronger than a permanent country label.

A VPN can test only a permitted network-layer problem.

Account, payment, eligibility, and platform rules remain separate.

Where Are Popular AI Tools Available: source-indexed map

Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook in July 2026; the map keeps both names so readers can match the current product with older support pages.［6］

Tool	Primary source to check	What can differ
ChatGPT	OpenAI supported countries	ChatGPT, API, mobile app, account eligibility
Claude	Anthropic supported regions	Consumer app, API, account and workspace policy
Gemini	Web availability and mobile availability	Web, mobile, Google account, connected apps
Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM)	NotebookLM Help	Account type, workspace policy, uploaded-source features
GitHub Copilot	Copilot documentation	Organisation policy, model access, data-residency setting
Grok	About Grok	X availability, account, subscription and product surface
Perplexity	Perplexity Help Center	Search surface, plan features, app and account limits
Midjourney	Midjourney documentation	Web, Discord, subscription and community access
Suno	Suno Help	Account, plan, credits, licensing and feature rollout
Runway	Runway Help Center	Workspace, credits, model and regional rollout

The table tells you where to recheck; it does not mark a country as permanently supported or blocked. A provider list can be incomplete for a particular interface, and a blank result is not proof of unavailability.

Check a region without overclaiming

Use one row per product and region. Fill in the provider result and the exact product surface; leave a cell as “recheck” when the source does not answer it.

Region or account context	Provider list result	Network test	Account or plan caveat
United States	Recheck the provider list	Test only a permitted network path	Web, API, mobile and plan can differ
United Kingdom	Recheck the provider list	Test only a permitted network path	Check age, workspace and rollout
Japan	Recheck the provider list	Test only a permitted network path	Check language, app and account surface
Hong Kong	Recheck the provider list	Test only a permitted network path	Check account, billing and mobile store rules
Mainland China	Recheck the provider list	Test only a permitted network path	Local law and provider policy still apply
Russia	Recheck the provider list	Test only a permitted network path	Check provider, payment and account rules

A network test is diagnostic only. It cannot establish eligibility, change billing country, or bypass a provider restriction. For network-layer troubleshooting, see ChatGPT access checks and the AI-use guide; do not turn this map into a VPN guarantee.

The primary-source links in this table support the product rows and their scope caveats.［1］［2］［3］［4］［5］

Keep the map maintainable

Save the official URL, product surface, account context, and access date.
Separate “provider says supported” from “my request reached the service”.
Recheck fast-changing rows before publication or a consequential decision.
Remove a claim when the primary source no longer supports it.

What each availability row should record

A useful row is a small evidence record, not a green or red country label. Keep the product name, the exact surface being checked, the account or plan assumptions, the provider wording, the source URL, and the date of the check together. If any of those fields is missing, mark the row for recheck instead of filling the gap with a guess.

Field	Record	Why it matters
Product surface	Web app, API, mobile app, workspace, model, or feature	The provider may publish separate rules for each surface.
Identity and plan	Personal or organisation account, subscription, age or billing prerequisite	A supported country does not make every account or plan eligible.
Source wording	Quote or close paraphrase with the scope preserved	“Available” may mean only sign-up, not every feature.
Evidence date	The day the source and, where permitted, the test were checked	Availability and rollout facts can change without notice.
Result status	Source-confirmed, recheck, not stated, or network symptom	A blank source is not the same as a provider denial.
Next action	Official help page, account support, or a permitted network test	Readers need a safe next step, not only a label.

Do not mix a provider's supported-country list with a personal test result. The list answers what the provider says about a defined product surface; a test answers what happened for one account, network, device, and time. Both are useful, but they are different kinds of evidence.

A repeatable refresh workflow

Define the claim. Write “web sign-in for a personal account” or “API access for an organisation plan,” not simply “the tool works in this country.”
Open the first-party source. Prefer the provider's supported-region page, product help centre, terms, or account documentation. Do not replace a missing official answer with a search snippet.
Preserve the boundary. Record whether the page covers sign-up, login, payment, a model, an app store, an API, or a feature rollout. Keep exclusions and footnotes.
Record the date and uncertainty. Use “not stated” when the provider does not answer the exact question. Do not turn an old cached page into a permanent status.
Check the account separately. If the provider lists prerequisites, verify them through the account or support flow. Do not change billing country, age, identity, or organisation settings to make a test look successful.
Use a network test only when allowed. Keep the device, account, surface, and task fixed; test one permitted route and record errors. A route result cannot override eligibility or platform policy.
Publish the smallest supported claim. If the source confirms web access but says nothing about mobile or API, publish only the web claim and link the other surfaces to recheck.
Archive the change. When a source changes, record the old wording, new wording, date, and affected rows so a reader can see why the map moved.

How to read common outcomes

The provider says supported, but the page still fails

Check the exact surface, account, plan, age, billing and workspace conditions first. Then check the local network, DNS, browser session and service status. A failure in one path is not evidence that the provider's list is wrong, and a successful retry is not evidence that every account is eligible.

The web app works, but the app or API does not

Keep separate rows. Mobile distribution, API onboarding, model availability and workspace policies can have different prerequisites. Link to the platform-specific source rather than copying the web result into every column.

The source lists a country but not a feature

Use “country stated; feature not stated” and send the reader to the feature documentation or support channel. Do not infer that a newly released model, upload mode, payment option or quota is included.

No first-party list exists

Use “not stated” and explain what a reader can verify safely. A third-party test may be a lead for research, but it is not a provider guarantee and should not become a permanent map label.

Use the map to make a safe decision

Start with the provider row, then check the account and plan requirements. If those are satisfied but the request still fails, collect the exact error and perform only a permitted network diagnosis. If the error remains an eligibility or payment decision, stop changing routes and contact the provider. If the source is silent, choose a supported surface or postpone the task rather than treating uncertainty as permission.

This sequence also makes the map easier to maintain: every row has a defined question, a source boundary, an evidence date, and a stopping rule. It prevents the page from becoming a list of permanent promises while still giving readers a practical way to investigate a real failure.

Summary

Treat this as a source index with a date, not a static promise.
Compare web, API, mobile, account, plan and feature rules separately.
Use a VPN only to diagnose a permitted network-layer problem.

FAQ

Does this map guarantee access?

No. It points to current primary sources; account, plan, rollout, law and network conditions still apply.

Why are there no permanent green or red country labels?

Provider policies change and product surfaces differ. A dated source is safer than a stale universal label.

Should I use a VPN to test every row?

No. First check the provider, account and product surface. Use a VPN only where lawful and only for a network-layer diagnosis.

Does payment unlock an unsupported region?

Not necessarily. Payment, identity and account eligibility remain controlled by the provider.

How often should I refresh this map?

Refresh it whenever a provider changes its supported-country, account, plan, or feature documentation. Record the page and date instead of treating an old row as a permanent answer.
