Google Gemini Passes 1 Billion Monthly Users
Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced that the company's AI assistant Gemini has surpassed 1 billion monthly active users, making it the 14th Google product to reach that milestone and the fastest-growing in the company's history. The announcement came via a post on X. Gemini launched in 2023 and has since been integrated across nearly all Google services, including Search, Workspace, and Android. The 1 billion figure applies to the Gemini app alone and does not include users of Google Search's AI mode, which Google says also exceeds 1 billion monthly users. Google also released usage data showing that 63 percent of Gemini users interact with the assistant directly by voice, the app generates over 150 million images per day, and iOS active users exceed 100 million. The company reported Gemini's daily active users have roughly tripled over the past year. This growth follows ChatGPT reaching 1 billion monthly users in June, and Google is expected to announce new Gemini features at its upcoming Made by Google event.
