Google's Gemini AI assistant has reached 950 million monthly active users, the company announced. The figure represents steady growth from 750 million users in February.

Gemini's user base has grown from 750M MAUs in February to 900M in May, and now to 950M, showing consistent expansion of Google's flagship AI product. The growth reflects Google's broader push to integrate Gemini across its suite of products. The AI assistant is now available through Google Search, Gmail, Docs, and Workspace applications, making it accessible to millions of users. Google has positioned Gemini as a core part of its AI strategy, competing with rivals like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Microsoft's Copilot. The company has rolled out updated versions of the model and expanded its capabilities to strengthen its market position. The milestone comes as large tech companies race to gain user adoption for their AI products. Gemini's 950M MAU count suggests strong traction, though the figure includes both dedicated users and those accessing the tool through integrated Google services.
