According to YugaTech, Google has announced that the number of active users of its Gemini app in Southeast Asia more than doubled over the past year. The Philippines recorded the highest proportion of female users among the countries in the region.
The growth highlights the increasing adoption of AI-powered assistants in Southeast Asia. Google did not disclose absolute user numbers but emphasized the doubling trend across the region, with the Philippines emerging as a standout market for gender parity in AI app usage.
The company credited the user surge to expanded language support and local partnerships. Gemini, Google's multimodal AI model, competes with other chatbots in the region, and the Philippines' female user lead suggests strong engagement among women in the country.
