📈 Summary

In June 2025, Gemini Advanced recorded a massive surge of over 120 million desktop visits—ranking #1 in month-over-month absolute growth among AI tools.

  • Released stable Gemini 2.5 Pro with advanced reasoning + coding support
  • Launched lightweight Gemini Flash / Flash-Lite for broader access
  • Deepened integration into Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets)
  • Introduced Scheduled Actions, Gemini Live, and multi-modal sharing
  • Gemini CLI and 3rd-party integrations (e.g. Spotify) expanded use cases

🚀 Gemini Leads June Growth Rankings

Based on public web traffic data, Gemini outpaced all other AI applications with over 120M net new visits in June 2025. This spike comes at a critical time: ChatGPT faced rare outages mid-month, and Google strategically released multiple Gemini updates in parallel.

In addition to Gemini, tools like Lovable, Claude 3, and Glasp also saw notable growth—though at much smaller scales. Gemini’s rise signals both product maturity and ecosystem advantage.

🔍 Strategic Drivers of Gemini's Growth

Several key updates drove Gemini’s June breakout:

  • Core Model Upgrade: Gemini 2.5 Pro rolled out with major improvements in coding, reasoning, and multimodal input handling.
  • Broader Access: Google released Gemini Flash / Flash-Lite for faster, cheaper inference—widening its developer appeal.
  • Workflow Integration: Gemini now deeply integrates into Google Docs, Sheets, and Calendar, driving daily usage among Workspace users.
  • Feature Innovation: “Scheduled Actions” and “Gemini Live” enable task automation and webcam/screen-share multimodal interactions.

Combined with a brief ChatGPT service disruption mid-June, Gemini capitalized on attention and availability gaps in the market.
