Gemini hits 1 billion users, becoming Google's fastest-growing product ever

Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced that Gemini has reached 1 billion monthly active users, making it the fastest Google product ever to hit that milestone. The AI assistant is now deeply integrated across Gmail, Drive, and Search, with AI Mode and AI Overviews becoming increasingly visible. However, this metric counts only users who actively open the Gemini app or website to submit a prompt or use Gemini Live—not those who encounter Gemini through other Google services.
