Le chiffre d'un milliard publié par Sundar Pichai concerne exclusivement l'application dédiée Gemini et exclut l'usage de l'IA au sein du moteur de recherche Google.
Cette trajectoire confirme la neutralisation de l'avantage de distribution initial d'OpenAI par Google, poussée par l'intégration native sur Android et l'adoption massive des interactions vocales.
Sundar Pichai a annoncé sur X que l'application Gemini est devenue le 14e produit de Google à passer le cap du milliard d'utilisateurs actifs mensuels. Google précise que 63 % des utilisateurs emploient directement la commande vocale et que l'outil génère plus de 150 millions d'images par jour, avec une base dépassant les 100 millions d'utilisateurs sur iOS.
Impact concret
Les responsables de produits digitaux doivent concevoir leurs interfaces en priorité pour les interactions vocales, devenues le mode de commande principal sur mobile.
Applications concrètes
Interactions vocales en temps réel avec un assistant mobile et génération automatisée d'images pour le contenu quotidien.
In a significant milestone for Google, CEO Sundar Pichai announced via X that the Gemini app has become one of the company’s fastest-growing products, recently surpassing 1 billion monthly active users. Pichai also noted it was the 14th Google product to hit the 1 billion mark. With this rapid growth, Gemini is keeping pace with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which hit 1 billion monthly active users back in June. The company has been steadily integrating Gemini across its products, from Search and Workspace to Android and its standalone app. Google’s AI Mode in Search, in particular, has achieved a lot of success, with over 1 billion monthly active users globally. But today’s figure refers specifically to the Gemini app, and does not include AI users from other channels. The company also continued rolling out new models and features, including Gemini 3.5 Flash , which Google says is designed to improve coding and autonomous AI-agent tasks. Google also shared numbers of how people are actually using the chatbot, with 63% of Gemini users talking directly to the assistant using the voice feature. Plus, Gemini now generates more than 150 million images every day, according to Google. And Gemini’s growth isn’t limited to Google’s own products. The company says it now has more than 100 million active users on iOS. The milestone comes right after its Q2 2026 earnings call, where the company celebrated having over 950 million monthly users , with daily active users tripling this past year. The announcement also comes ahead of its Made by Google event, where it’s expected to have more Gemini-powered features launching across Pixel devices.
