Google’s Gemini AI Reaches 350 Million Monthly Users, Shows Significant Growth

In a recent court hearing, Google disclosed that its Gemini AI now has 350 million monthly active users, with 35 million using it daily. These numbers mark significant growth from October 2024, when Gemini had only 90 million monthly users and 9 million daily users. The information was presented in the context of an ongoing antitrust case, where the US Justice Department argues that Google should not extend its dominance from search engines into the AI space. While Google’s figures are growing, the company still trails behind competitors like OpenAI and Meta. OpenAI has claimed over 400 million weekly active users, and Meta’s AI platforms were reported to have nearly 500 million monthly users as of late 2024. However, it’s unclear if Google’s figures include integration with products like Gmail and Workspace, which have large user bases. This comparison indicates that, although Gemini is growing rapidly, Google still faces a tough challenge in catching up with its rivals in terms of AI usage.
