This puts Gemini in direct competition with OpenAI's ChatGPT, which hit 1 billion monthly active users in June 2026. Gemini's market share among AI assistants rose to 27.7%, while ChatGPT's share fell below 50% for the first time. Google also highlighted new agentic features like Daily Brief and Gemini Spark, and noted that its AI-overhauled Search mode separately crossed 1 billion users this quarter. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
