Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai announced on Tuesday that Google’s artificial intelligence services are reaching unprecedented global usage levels, with AI Overviews — the company’s AI-powered search summaries — now serving 2 billion monthly users across more than 200 countries and territories.
The announcement came during Alphabet’s Q2 2025 earnings call, where Pichai outlined the company’s ongoing momentum in scaling consumer-facing AI products.
The new milestone marks a significant jump from the 1.5 billion monthly users recorded in May, highlighting how quickly AI Overviews has embedded itself into Google’s core search experience. The feature, which presents summarized answers to queries using generative AI, has become central to Google’s strategy to transform search from a traditional list of blue links to a dynamic, conversational interface.

“We continue to see strong growth and engagement,” Pichai said, adding that daily requests for Gemini — Google’s flagship generative AI model — have grown over 50% since Q1.
The Gemini app itself now boasts 450 million monthly active users, while AI Mode, a conversational layer embedded into Google Search, has surpassed 100 million monthly users. AI Mode was initially launched in the U.S. but has since expanded into India and is being rolled out in more regions.
In a move aimed at deepening user interaction, Google plans to upgrade AI Mode with new features such as Deep Search, which allows for more comprehensive research capabilities, and personalized responses based on user preferences and behavior — further tightening the integration between users and AI-generated content.
Beyond consumer tools, Google is also scaling its AI ecosystem for developers. The company reported that over 9 million developers have built applications using Gemini models, and interest continues to rise. Meanwhile, Google’s text-to-video tool, Veo 3, has been used to create more than 70 million videos since May. Within Google Workspace, Google Vids, powered by Veo, now has nearly 1 million monthly users.
AI-driven productivity tools are also seeing growing adoption. Over 50 million users have used AI-powered note-taking in Google Meet, which includes features like real-time summarization, follow-up task suggestions, and automated action items — all driven by Google’s in-house AI models.
To underscore the scale of its generative AI systems, Alphabet revealed that its infrastructure is now processing 980 trillion tokens per month — more than double the 480 trillion tokens handled in May. This metric illustrates the explosive growth in AI workload and the heavy computing demand these services now place on Google’s infrastructure.
Despite the remarkable growth, Alphabet’s Q2 2025 financial results presented a more complicated picture for investors. The company reported revenue of $84.7 billion, up 14% year-over-year, and net income of $23.7 billion. However, shares dipped more than 6% after Pichai confirmed that capital expenditures reached $11 billion for the quarter and would rise even further in the second half of the year to accommodate AI infrastructure expansion.
“We are seeing significant demand for our comprehensive AI product portfolio,” Pichai said. “This is all possible because of the long-term investments we’ve made in our differentiated, full-stack approach to AI.”
While investors remain cautious about the cost implications, the company’s AI bet is clearly gaining traction across both consumer and enterprise segments. From Search to Workspace, Gemini to Veo, Google is staking its future on building and scaling AI tools — and the numbers now prove that users are coming along for the ride.
