Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai has disclosed sizeable growth figures in regard to the consumer-facing artificial intelligence programs at Google, shining light on the rapid expansion of Google AI Mode and other AI-driven capabilities within the company offerings.

Google AI mode becomes a key search experience

Google AI Mode, which is at the center of Google AI push, is a conversational search feature where users can obtain in-depth answers on their questions in a chat-like format but not in lists as in the traditional search results. It has also gotten over 100 million monthly active users since its introduction in the U.S. and subsequently in India. Pichai added that the service will soon acquire more powerful research tools such as Deep Search and sophisticated response capacity, which is an indication that Google wants AI Mode to be the default interface on web searching in the coming generation.

Currently, AI Overviews provides searchers with AI-composed summaries in 200 different countries, which contributed to the massive increase in the number of user adopters to 2 billion per month, compared to 1.5 billion in May 2025. Such integration is promoting an increase of more than 10 percent search queries to the types of results that suggest AI Overviews, which indicates intensified involvement between users and AI-augmented results. Sundar Pichai (CEO, Alphabet & Google) said on a LinkedIn Post “Google AI Mode is reshaping how billions approach search—making information access more conversational, personalised, and powerful. The explosive growth in users and queries reflects the future of AI-infused everyday tools.”

Gemini App and Google AI platform 

In addition to search, the Gemini app, or Google in its latest AI assistants, has grown 450 million active monthly users with Pichai reporting that active time per day increased more than 50 percent compared to the previous three months. And on the developer side, there is now also an 8 million-strong legion of developers who have created with Gemini, and above 70 million videos so far have been created with Google and its Veo 3 AI video model since May. Google Vids, which is an AI tool in the Workspace text-to-video tool, has almost a million monthly active users.

Google is experiencing mass appeal to use AI in our daily life. Google Meet where more than 50 million users have been able to take advantage of AI-enhanced meeting notes to demonstrate the demand in business-related settings on either side of the customer experience fence by wanting to use productivity-enhancing tools.

The AI infrastructure used by Google is now larger than ever, with the company currently churning 980 trillion tokens per month; this is a 100 percent growth since it announced the numbers on its developer conference two months ago. This figure supports this figure not only as the level of usage in Google AI arsenal but also as the company being in the driver seat in the AI arms race.

Although the sheer statistics and expansion of AI Mode and AI engagement on Google are testament to the company making good momentum, the news of its planned rise in capital expenditure to help fund such AI activities alarmed investors. Stocks fell shortly after the Q2 earnings call, as Wall Street considered the high expenses of staying in front of the artificial intelligence arms race. Rohit Verma (Tech Analyst) tweeted on X (Twitter) “Google’s AI Mode crossing 100 million MAUs in such a short span proves that smart AI searching is the future. Adding tools like Deep Search will only deepen user engagement.”

The diversity of the Google AI products, as Sundar Pichai has pointed out, is now at the essence of company development stories, ranging between the AI Mode in search, Gemini, Veo, or Workspace tools. And with hundreds of millions of active contributors continuing to interact with Google AI monthly and much more still to come, Google AI Mode will become the game-changer in the daily search and productivity experience of users across the world. All Google paid is worth it even though the price of acquisition was causing jitters to many investors.
