Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai recently provided an update on the growing adoption of Google’s AI-powered consumer features, including AI Overviews in Search, the Gemini app, and AI Mode. Speaking during the company’s Q2 2025 earnings call, Pichai revealed that AI Overviews, which deliver AI-generated summaries within Google Search are now available in over 200 countries and territories and serve 2 billion users each month, a jump from 1.5 billion in May.
The Gemini AI assistant has also shown significant growth, now boasting 450 million monthly active users. “User engagement remains strong, with daily requests up more than 50% from Q1,” Pichai noted.
Google’s AI Mode, which offers a conversational search experience for deeper answers, has surpassed 100 million monthly users. Initially launched in the U.S. and recently introduced in India, the feature is still being rolled out globally. Pichai also hinted at upcoming enhancements, including integration with Deep Search and more tailored responses.
On the developer side, over 9 million developers have built applications using Gemini, and more than 70 million videos have been created using Google’s Veo 3 AI model since May. Additionally, Google Vids, a text-to-video feature in Workspace powered by Veo now reaches nearly 1 million monthly users.
In Google Meet, AI-driven tools are also seeing traction, with over 50 million users utilizing AI-powered meeting notes.
These figures highlight the growing demand for AI across Google’s products. For example, AI Overviews have reportedly led to a 10% increase in specific types of search queries. However, it remains unclear how much of this growth is due to user interest versus the aggressive rollout of AI features across the platform.
Google also shared a notable metric: its systems now process 980 trillion tokens monthly it is more than double the 480 trillion reported during its developer conference in May, showcasing the scale of AI activity on its platforms.
“We’re witnessing strong interest in our full AI product ecosystem,” Pichai told investors, attributing the momentum to Google’s strategic, long-term investments in AI infrastructure and innovation.
Despite these milestones, Google’s stock dipped following the earnings call, as investor concerns grew over the company’s rising capital expenditure to stay competitive in the AI space.
