Google's AI chatbot Gemini has surpassed 750 million monthly active users (MAUs), according to the company's fourth-quarter 2025 earnings. This figure illustrates the rapid consumer adoption of Gemini, which has quickly become a prominent player in the AI space. Last quarter, Google reported 650 million monthly active users for Gemini, indicating substantial growth in a short period. In comparison, Meta AI has reported nearly 500 million monthly users.
I founded my startup, Forage, around 18 months ago. Besides myself, I have one full-time employee who has been with the company for eight months. My business is in the marketing technology space, and I needed someone with a deep connection to modern culture and social media. So, I hired a 24-year-old growth and brand specialist from my neighborhood. She's a college graduate with less than two years of experience, whom I started mentoring.
Google changes the AI coding landscape again. On November 18, 2025, Google introduced Antigravity - an AI-first development platform built for the agentic era. While tools like Cursor helped bring AI into the editor, Antigravity rethinks what the IDE itself should be in a world where agents don't just assist, but act. What exactly is Google Antigravity? Built around Gemini 3, Antigravity isn't just a smarter code editor.
Hundreds of billions of dollars have been invested in AI, OpenAI founder and CEO Sam Altman became the face of AI, and billion-dollar AI companies seem to be minted at will. As an early investor in OpenAI, Microsoft has been changed as much as any company by the genAI revolution. The tech giant's value has skyrocketed to between $3 trillion and $4 trillion depending on the day, and it's become the premiere AI firm in the world.
Hello, fellow humans! AI chatbots will soon replace us. They have access to more knowledge than our puny brains can hold, and they can easily be turned into powerful agents that can handle routine tasks with ease. Or so we are told. I keep trying Microsoft Copilot, which uses OpenAI's GPT-5 as its default LLM, and I keep being disappointed. Occasionally, it gets things right, but just as often -- or so it seems -- it face-plants in spectacular fashion.
Agentic AI is all the buzz in the business world as people envision creating and using special AI agents to carry out both routine and complex tasks on their behalf. Now, Google is launching a new product for Workspace users who want to see if they can benefit from such agents.
After ChatGPT blindsided the company in 2022 and turned OpenAI into the face of generative AI, Google spent three years working to regain its footing. The company launched Gemini 3, calling it its most advanced model yet. The positive reviews the AI bot has received since its debut could be the clearest sign yet that Google's turnaround is real. Now, it's OpenAI that appears to be on its heels.
And in the coming weeks, we're also enhancing our automatic model selection in Search with Gemini 3. This means Search will intelligently route your most challenging questions in AI Mode and AI Overviews to this frontier model - while continuing to use faster models for simpler tasks. This will be rolling out to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the U.S.
When I walked into a conference room in Google's San Francisco building last week, I expected to find the typical tech briefing setup with rows of chairs facing a wall of screens and a corporate voice managing a slide deck. Instead, I found myself in what looked more like group therapy with a large circle of cozy chairs arranged around the center of the room.
