Google AI Overviews: Usage Stats & Growth

Google's AI Feature Adoption Surges

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet and Google, recently provided an update regarding the increasing adoption of AI-powered applications and functionalities aimed at consumers. This includes features like Google Search’s AI Overviews, Gemini, and AI Mode.

AI Overview Growth

During the Q2 2025 investor call, Pichai revealed that AI Overviews, a Google Search feature delivering AI-generated summaries of search results, now boasts 2 billion monthly users. This represents a substantial increase from the 1.5 billion users reported in May 2025.

Gemini and AI Mode User Base

Furthermore, the Gemini application has experienced significant growth, reaching 450 million monthly active users. Pichai highlighted that daily requests to the app are increasing by over 50% compared to the first quarter.

AI Mode, which allows users to interact with Google Search through an AI chat interface for more detailed responses, has surpassed 100 million monthly active users. Currently available in the U.S. and India, its rollout is ongoing.

Future Enhancements

The AI Mode experience is slated for upgrades, including the integration of Deep Search, an advanced research tool, and the delivery of more personalized responses.

Developer Engagement

On the developer side, Google reports that over 9 million developers are currently building with Gemini. Additionally, more than 70 million videos have been created using the Veo 3 AI model since May.

Google Vids, a Veo-powered text-to-video AI generation tool within Google Workspace, has attracted nearly 1 million monthly active users.

AI in Google Meet

Over 50 million individuals have utilized AI-powered meeting notes within Google Meet, according to the company.

Impact on Search Queries

These statistics aim to demonstrate the growing consumer demand for AI features. Google noted that AI Overviews are contributing to a more than 10% increase in Google Search queries for relevant searches.

However, determining the extent to which users are actively choosing AI in Search is complex, given the assertive implementation of these features.

Token Processing Growth

Across Google’s platforms, growth is quantified by monthly tokens processed. The company announced 480 trillion monthly tokens at its May developer conference; this number has now doubled to 980 trillion monthly tokens.

Investment and Future Outlook

“We are seeing significant demand for our comprehensive AI product portfolio,” Pichai stated to investors. He emphasized that this progress is a direct result of long-term investments in a differentiated, full-stack AI approach.

Investor Reaction

Despite the positive user growth, investors reacted negatively to Google’s plans to increase capital expenditure to maintain its position in the AI race, leading to a decline in the company’s stock price following the earnings announcement.
