Gemini app now has 950 million monthly active users: Sundar Pichai
New Delhi, July 23
Google's Gemini app has reached 950 million monthly active users, with its daily active users tripling over the past year, as the company continues to expand its artificial intelligence offerings across consumer and enterprise products, according to CEO Sundar Pichai.
In a blog post, Pichai said the rapid growth of the Gemini app has been fuelled by new AI-powered features such as Daily Brief and the personalised Gemini Spark assistant, which is now available in the US and several international markets.
He also highlighted the growing adoption of Google's AI-powered Search experience, saying AI Mode has crossed 1 billion monthly active users globally since its broader rollout last October. The feature is driving higher search activity while sending billions of clicks to websites every week.
Google has also expanded its AI model portfolio with the launch of Gemini 3.6 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite and Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber, while work has already begun on Gemini 4, the company's next-generation AI model.
According to Pichai, more than 9 million developers now build applications every month using Google's AI models, with the company's APIs processing around 22 billion tokens per minute, compared with 16 billion in the previous quarter.
The company is also witnessing strong enterprise adoption, with nearly 90 per cent of Fortune 100 companies now using Gemini Enterprise, contributing to the rapid expansion of Google Cloud.
Cloud revenue surged 82 per cent year-on-year, while its backlog grew to $514 billion, driven by rising demand for AI infrastructure and enterprise AI solutions.
Alphabet also reported 24 per cent year-on-year revenue growth, with Pichai saying the company's AI investments are reshaping its businesses across Search, YouTube, Cloud and developer platforms.

950 million users is no joke! I use Gemini Spark for my small business in Mumbai and it's been a game-changer for customer queries. The AI Mode in Search is also brilliant—saves so much time. Just wish the app was more optimized for slower internet connections in rural areas. Still, proud to see Indian engineers contributing to this! 🚀
I'm cautiously optimistic. The numbers are huge, but I've noticed Gemini sometimes gives inaccurate answers for niche queries. Still, it's better than a year ago. Looking forward to Gemini 4—hope it addresses these gaps. The 22 billion tokens per minute stat is mind-blowing!
As a student in Delhi, Gemini has been a lifesaver for research and assignments. The AI Mode in Search understands my questions better than ever before. But I wish the app had more Indian language support—I know many of my friends would use it more if it worked well in Hindi and Tamil. Still, great progress! 📚
The revenue growth is staggering—82% year-on-year for Cloud. But I'm concerned about the concentration of AI power in a few companies. Google's dominance in search and now AI raises antitrust questions. That said, the 9 million developers building on Gemini shows the ecosystem's potential. Let's hope competition keeps innovation healthy.
Am I the only one who finds the 'Daily Brief' a bit too intrusive? I disabled it after a week. But I get why others like it—personalization is key. The 90% Fortune 100 adoption is telling; enterprise AI is where the real money is. Just wish
