Google’s AI assistant, Gemini, now boasts 350 million monthly active users globally. This figure comes from internal documents revealed during the company’s ongoing antitrust trial, as reported by The Information.
The data shows impressive momentum for the platform. Back in October 2024, Gemini had around 9 million daily active users. By March 2025, that number had jumped to 35 million—a nearly fourfold increase in just five months.
While Google hasn’t detailed the reasons behind this surge, several major updates likely played a role. Since October, the company launched Gemini Live, a voice interaction mode; rolled out a dedicated app for iOS; and unveiled more powerful model families, including Gemini 2.0 and 2.5.
These improvements suggest Google is doubling down on AI as it competes in a rapidly evolving digital assistant landscape.
ChatGPT Still Dominates AI Assistant Market, But Competition Is Growing
While there’s no centralized database to track the exact number of users across all AI platforms, the consensus remains clear: ChatGPT continues to lead the market.
According to internal documents revealed during Google’s antitrust hearing, OpenAI’s flagship tool has approximately 600 million monthly active users. However, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently told Fortune that “about 10% of the global population” uses the company’s systems. This figure suggests around 800 million users, though the company hasn’t officially confirmed this estimate.
Meanwhile, Meta has emerged as another key player. The assistant has seen rapid adoption since integrating Meta AI into WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. In October 2024, CEO Mark Zuckerberg reported that Meta AI had reached 500 million active users.
While ChatGPT maintains its position at the top, the AI landscape is evolving fast, with tech giants like Google, Meta, and OpenAI each pushing forward to capture a larger share of this booming sector.
Google Faces New U.S. Trial Over Search Monopoly—Chrome Sale on the Table
Google is again under legal fire in the United States, this time in a follow-up trial to determine the penalties for its previously confirmed illegal monopoly practices in the online search market.
Although the verdict declaring Google’s unlawful dominance was issued in August 2024, the latest proceedings aim to decide the consequences the company will face. Among the most dramatic possibilities being considered is the forced sale of Google Chrome, the world’s most widely used web browser.
This development could mark a major shift in the tech landscape, especially if regulators pursue aggressive remedies to rein in Google’s power. Stay tuned—what happens in this courtroom could reshape how billions of people search and browse online.
