Google’s Gemini AI Now Has 650 Million Users—And It’s Growing Fast

 October 30, 2025

Big news from Google: its Gemini AI assistant now has 650 million monthly active users—up from 450 million just three months ago. That’s a 44% jump in a single quarter!

The surge comes as Google reported its first-ever $100 billion quarter in revenue, with AI playing a major role in that success.

 

How Did Gemini Grow So Fast?

A lot of the credit goes to Nano Banana—Google’s fun and wildly popular AI image generator. Launched in August, it has already created over 5 billion images. At first, it was only in the Gemini app, but now you can use it in Google Search, NotebookLM, and soon even Google Photos.

In September alone, Nano Banana brought in 23 million new users to the Gemini app.

CEO Sundar Pichai said during Google’s earnings call:

“Queries to Gemini have tripled since last quarter. People aren’t just signing up—they’re using it for real tasks.”

More Than Just Chat: AI Is Everywhere in Google

Gemini isn’t just a chatbot. It’s built into many Google products:

• Google Search now has an “AI Mode” used by 75 million people every day

• This smart search works in 40 languages and lets you ask questions like you’re talking to a friend

• Usage of AI Mode has doubled since launch—and it’s bringing in more searches than ever

Winning Over Businesses Too

It’s not just regular users. Companies are jumping on board:

• 70% of Google Cloud customers now use Google’s AI tools

• Revenue from AI products has grown over 200% compared to last year

• Google signed more $1 billion+ cloud deals this year than in the past two years combined

How Does Gemini Compare to ChatGPT?

OpenAI’s ChatGPT is still ahead, with about 800 million weekly users (yes—weekly, not monthly). It holds roughly 60% of the AI assistant market, while Gemini has 13.5%.

But Google has a secret weapon: it’s everywhere.
You can use Gemini on Android phones, in YouTube, Gmail, Search, and more. ChatGPT mostly lives in its own app or website.

That built-in reach gives Google a huge advantage in getting new users—without them even trying.

What’s Next?

Both companies are racing ahead:

• OpenAI is working on GPT-5

• Google promises Gemini 3 “later this year”

One thing’s clear: AI isn’t just a trend anymore. It’s becoming part of how we search, create, work—and even play.

And with 650 million people already using it every month, Gemini is proving that Google is all in.
