Sundar Pichai says "much more to come" as Gemini app tops 1 billion monthly users

Sundar Pichai said on X that Google’s standalone Gemini app now has more than one billion monthly users. In announcing that milestone, he credited Josh Woodward and the Gemini team and thanked users, while signaling that more work lies ahead. The company says Gemini is its fastest-spreading product ever and the 14th to pass the billion-user mark. That figure places it roughly level with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which TechCrunch reports reached one billion monthly users in June. The count applies only to the Gemini app, not to AI features built into Google Search, Workspace, or Android. Google also pointed to recent model releases and heavy user activity, including voice use and image generation. Separately, investors have reportedly questioned Alphabet over delays affecting the flagship Gemini 3.5 Pro model.
