Key Observations
- Consumer products dominate — Gemini App and mobile apps have highest growth indices due to massive user bases
- Search integration is force multiplier — AI Overviews reaches 2B users through existing Search traffic
- Workspace bundling works — March 2025 mandatory bundling created instant enterprise scale
- Developer tools lag consumer — 13M developers is large but dwarfed by 650M consumer users
- New products (2025 launches) can't be ranked yet: Jules, AgentSpace, ADK, Nano Banana, Gemini 3
- Gemini 1.5 is declining — deprecated models show negative growth as users migrate
