Google's confidence is reflected in its positive earnings call, where CEO Sundar Pichai reported that AI Overviews increased query engagement by more than 10 percent globally. This improvement in user engagement is particularly notable among younger users, who had been drifting away from traditional search methods. Google’s Gemini app has experienced a significant boost in engagement, with daily prompts increasing over 50 percent and monthly users surpassing 450 million. Additionally, Google has maintained strong talent retention and recruitment amidst competitive challenges in the AI sector.
During Google's earnings call, CEO Sundar Pichai announced that AI Overviews in search results are now driving over 10-percent more queries globally for the types of queries that show them.

Gemini app saw daily prompts increase by over 50 percent from the previous quarter, now with over 450 million monthly users.
Pichai stated that both retention metrics and new talent coming into Google are healthy, indicating confidence in their position amid the AI talent wars.
