Google 即将在其拥有超过十亿用户的庞大产品名单上再添一员,这份名单上目前已有搜索、Gmail、Drive、Android、YouTube 和 Chrome。该公司在 2026 年第二季度财报电话会议上表示,AI 助手 Gemini 目前的月活跃用户已超过 9.5 亿。
该公司指出,Gemini 的用户数量较去年增长了两倍。此前,该公司在 2 月份曾表示,Gemini 应用的月活跃用户已突破 7.5 亿。凭借这一增长势头,Google 的这款助手有望与 OpenAI 的 ChatGPT 展开更激烈的竞争,后者在 6 月份月活跃用户达到了 10 亿。
“用户非常喜欢新的智能体功能,比如 Daily Brief,以及我们的个性化智能体 Gemini Spark,该功能现已在美国及国际市场上线。我们一直在以惊人的速度推出诸如此类的实用新功能,”Alphabet 首席执行官 Sundar Pichai 在电话会议上表示。
除了 Android 用户之外,Gemini 应用凭借 Nano Banana 图像生成模型等功能的推出,在 iOS 平台也积累了庞大的用户基础。据 Appfigures 统计,在过去 12 个月里,该应用在 iOS 上的下载量已超过 1.37 亿次。
在最新的“AI 现状”报告中,分析公司 Sensor Tower 指出,ChatGPT 在 AI 助手市场中的份额首次跌破 50%。这份针对 2026 年上半年的报告还指出,Gemini 的市场份额已上升至 27.7%。
许多人已经将 AI 助手应用当作搜索的替代品。然而,Google 报告称其搜索业务依然强劲,部分原因在于以 AI 为核心的全面改造。在本季度,其问答式 AI 模式的用户数突破了 10 亿。该公司表示,这一模式正在推动搜索查询量“实现增量增长”。Google 还指出,通过硬件工程方面的努力,尽管推出了新模型和新功能,公司仍降低了 AI 模式的运营成本。
Google is about to add another name to its long list of products with more than a billion users, a list that already includes Search, Gmail, Drive, Android, YouTube, and Chrome. The company said during its Q2 2026 call that the AI assistant Gemini now has over 950 million monthly users.
The company noted that Gemini users have tripled from last year. Earlier, in February, it said that the Gemini app crossed 750 million monthly active users. With this growth, Google’s assistant is in line to compete more closely with OpenAI’s ChatGPT, which hit 1 billion monthly active users in June.
“Users love new agentic features like Daily Brief and our personalized agent, Gemini Spark, which is now available in the U.S. and internationally. We’ve been shipping helpful new features like this at an incredible pace,” Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai said during the call.
Apart from users on Android, the Gemini app has found a strong user base on iOS with launches like the Nano Banana image generation model. According to Appfigures, the app has been downloaded over 137 million times on iOS in the last 12 months.
In its latest “State of AI” report, the analytics firm Sensor Tower noted that ChatGPT’s market share among AI assistants fell below 50% for the first time. The report, which looked at H1 2026, also noted that Gemini’s share rose to 27.7%.
Many people already use AI assistant apps as a substitute for search. However, Google reported that its search vertical is going strong, partially thanks to the AI-centric overhaul. During this quarter, its Q&A-style AI mode crossed 1 billion users. The company said that it is driving “an incremental increase” in search queries. Google also noted that through hardware engineering, it has reduced the cost of AI mode for the company, despite introducing new models and features.
