Google Gemini monthly activity exceeded 9

Google's Gemini monthly active users have exceeded 950 million, approaching the ChatGPT billion user milestone. Google's parent company Alphabet disclosed at the second quarter 2026 earnings call that the number of monthly active users of its AI assistant Gemini has exceeded 950 million, and it will soon join the billion-user super product camp consisting of search, Gmail, Drive, Android, YouTube and Chrome. Data shows that the user base of Gemini has doubled compared with last year (daily active users have tripled). Compared with the 750 million monthly active users announced in February 2026, the gap has further narrowed. This explosive growth is due to the deep integration of the ecosystem and the rapid iteration of functions. In addition to the Android camp, Gemini has performed well on the iOS platform, with over 137 million downloads in the past 12 months. New features such as the Nano Banana image generation model and Gemini Spark personalized assistant have significantly increased user stickiness. According to Sensor Tower's latest report on the first half of 2026, ChatGPT's share of the AI ​​assistant market fell below 50% for the first time, while Gemini rose to 27.7%. While promoting the rapid development of Gemini applications, Google's search business, which relies on AI-based transformation, also exceeded 1 billion users of the question-and-answer AI model this quarter, driving a steady increase in search query volume. Facing the cost pressure brought by large-scale reasoning, Google said it has successfully reduced the operating costs of AI models through hardware engineering means. Faced with the trend of AI assistants replacing traditional search, Google is continuing to consolidate its leading position in the consumer AI track with its huge ecological distribution engine and underlying computing power optimization. via AI News (author: AI Base)
