Details
Gemini launched publicly in February 2024 (rebranding from Bard), with the Gemini 2.0 family released in December 2024 and Gemini 3 in late 2025. As of Q4 2025, the Gemini app surpassed 750 million monthly active users, up from 450 million at the start of 2025. It is available in free and paid tiers (Google AI Pro and AI Ultra). In 2024, a commercial for Gemini aired during the Olympics but was pulled after backlash over replacing human creative expression with AI-generated letter writing. Gemini is also embedded in Android Auto, Chrome, and across Google Workspace.
