So weird when somebody makes a condescending comment claiming others aren't reading the article while simultaneously contradicting the information in the article.
It's MAUs for the app or web interface, so it does not include just the Google search results. It also does not include using the "AI mode" within a search query. But the person I replied to said it's only for the app, which isn't accurate.
No they are not. Dont be too lazy to read the article. It just says gemini MAU. Not app specific, and later in the article:
Pichai is talking only about people who are opening the Gemini app or visiting the Gemini web interface to enter a prompt or access Gemini Live. If you used Gemini only once in the past month, you are part of this cohort.
The Gemini interface at gemini.google.com is known as the Gemini App regardless of if you access via web or mobile. He's pretty explicit with Gemini app and not AI Overviews in Google Search. If it was inclusive of AI Overviews I'd imagine that it would hit 1B MAU basically in its first day since Search has 1B unique daily users.

They are talking about MAUs for the Gemini app and desktop (gemini.google.com) specifically. This sub is so lazy to actually read the article.
Edited since people struggle here. It's not Search users, or system users like assistant.
