The Gemini app has reached the milestone of a billion monthly users. Google presents its AI assistant as the product with the fastest growth in its history and reveals several figures detailing how it is now used daily.
Core Usage Metrics and Functionality
Voice plays a significant role in these usages: 63% of users now speak directly to Gemini, while Google also observes an increase in the number of people who use only voice interactions.
Beyond simple speech exchange, Gemini Live offers advanced functionality. One in five interactions utilizes the live camera or screen sharing feature, allowing the assistant to analyze the environment or displayed content and help the user in real time.
Creative functions are also scaling rapidly. Gemini now generates over 150 million images every day. Google specifically highlights that small businesses are leveraging its image, video, and audio generation tools to create various marketing assets.
Platform Expansion and Automation
Gemini’s usage extends far beyond the core Google mobile ecosystem. The app currently boasts over 100 million active users on iOS. Furthermore, power users of Gemini on macOS submit about twice as many prompts compared to those using other platforms.
On Android, Google is focusing simultaneously on expanding the assistant's action capabilities. Users can now automate tasks in over 40 popular apps, enabling features such as booking a trip or reserving a table.
Looking ahead, Google plans to continue this evolution by developing new features dedicated to academic use and further expanding Gemini's automation capabilities across Android devices.
After surpassing a billion monthly users, Google is focused on evolving Gemini from a primarily conversational assistant toward a tool that can interact more deeply with the user's applications, screen, and environment.
