Google’s Gemini AI app passed 1 billion monthly active users, becoming the 14th Google product to hit that threshold. It had 750 million monthly users by February, after reaching 650 million in October and exceeding 950 million in July quarter results. Google says the app’s growth is tied to voice and automations and is continuing with updates such as support for more regional dialects, broader app actions, and new study tools.
Google’s Gemini reached 1 billion monthly active users, with CEO Sundar Pichai saying it became the fastest-growing Google product to hit that milestone. The milestone is 1B monthly active users. Google ties this growth metric specifically to people using the Gemini app or Gemini web interface, even as Gemini is embedded across Gmail, Drive, and Search.
Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai announced that the Gemini app passed 1 billion monthly active users. The Gemini milestone is the 14th Google product to reach 1 billion. Google says it will keep expanding Gemini across Search, Workspace, Android, and Pixel, alongside new features like Gemini 3.5 Flash and updated usage-driven rollout.
AMIE advanced from text-based clinical reasoning to a real-time video configuration that can observe non-verbal cues, guide physical examination maneuvers, and deliver diagnostic dialogue. In a randomized OSCE study with 100 scenarios, 300 live consultations, and 30 board-certified primary care physicians, AMIE (Video) was rated on par with PCPs across core clinical competencies and higher than both PCPs and AMIE (Text) for physical observation and examination. This shift changes the system from discarding visual and audio information in text chat to using synchronous audio-visual inputs, with results still limited to simulated patient actors and requiring validation on real patients before real-world use.
Gemini and ChatGPT both reached 1 billion monthly users, as Google reported Gemini’s user milestone and OpenAI had already crossed it for ChatGPT. Gemini hit the mark with a billion users every month, according to Sundar Pichai’s post. The result is that two leading AI chat products have now publicly joined the 1 billion-user club, with OpenAI’s timing confirmed on August 6.
