WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000 Google's Gemini AI just hit 1 billion 00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:04.920 monthly users. And in the same week, 00:00:04.920 --> 00:00:07.680 Google gave it 13 new powers. That's the 00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:10.320 story today. Google's Gemini AI just 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:12.440 crossed 1 billion people using it every 00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:14.320 month. Sundar Pichai announced it 00:00:14.320 --> 00:00:16.160 himself. He called it the fastest 00:00:16.160 --> 00:00:17.960 growing product in Google's 28-year 00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:20.120 history. Not the fastest AI product, the 00:00:20.120 --> 00:00:22.600 fastest product, period. Faster than 00:00:22.600 --> 00:00:25.120 search, faster than Gmail, faster than 00:00:25.120 --> 00:00:27.200 YouTube. Here's how fast. In May last 00:00:27.200 --> 00:00:30.240 year, Gemini had 400 million users. By 00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:32.640 this May, it hit 900 million. Then in 00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:35.640 July, it was at 950 million. And in less 00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.120 than a month after that, it crossed 1 00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:39.560 billion. That last stretch from 950 00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.960 million to 1 billion took Gemini about 2 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.880 weeks. 2 weeks to add 50 million people. 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.160 A year ago, an AI app crossing 400 00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:49.520 million users felt huge. Now, Google is 00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:51.400 adding tens of millions of users in a 00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:53.160 matter of days. That's the curve we're 00:00:53.160 --> 00:00:55.320 on. It's not slowing down. It's speeding 00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:56.800 up. And Google isn't just celebrating 00:00:56.800 --> 00:00:59.000 the number. They used that same week to 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:01.520 roll out two big changes to what Gemini 00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:02.920 can actually do for you. The first 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:05.400 change is inside Gemini notebook. If you 00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:07.320 don't know Gemini notebook, think of it 00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:09.240 as a folder where you dump all your 00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:11.440 research, documents, and notes, and the 00:01:11.440 --> 00:01:13.680 AI reads through everything for you. It 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.120 used to be called notebook LM. Google 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.040 renamed it back in July. Now, here's the 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.160 new part. As of August 12th, you can 00:01:20.160 --> 00:01:22.520 copy someone else's entire notebook, not 00:01:22.520 --> 00:01:24.640 just their notes, their sources, too. 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:27.000 And any documents, guides, or summaries 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.080 the AI already built for them. Think 00:01:29.080 --> 00:01:31.160 about what that actually means. Before 00:01:31.160 --> 00:01:32.600 this, if a colleague built a great 00:01:32.600 --> 00:01:34.360 research notebook, you could look at it, 00:01:34.360 --> 00:01:36.280 but you couldn't easily make it your own 00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:37.960 and build on top of it. Now, you click 00:01:37.960 --> 00:01:39.840 one button, and the whole notebook, 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.200 sources, documents, everything becomes 00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:44.000 yours to edit. Here's a one-sentence 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.800 example. Inside the AI Profit Boardroom, 00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:48.920 if one of our coaches builds a notebook 00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:50.880 packed with proven prompts and case 00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:52.960 studies for automating client outreach, 00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:54.640 any member can now copy that entire 00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.680 notebook in one click and start 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.600 customizing it for their own business 00:01:58.600 --> 00:02:00.520 the same day. That's the shift. A 00:02:00.520 --> 00:02:02.160 notebook isn't just something you read 00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:03.360 anymore. It's something you can 00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:05.200 duplicate like a template and make your 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:06.840 own. Now, if you're watching this and 00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:08.200 thinking, "I don't even know where to 00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:10.080 start with tools like Gemini notebook." 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.000 That's exactly why we built the AI 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.440 Profit Boardroom. It's a community built 00:02:14.440 --> 00:02:16.400 around learning to use tools like this 00:02:16.400 --> 00:02:18.080 the right way, so you save real time in 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:19.880 your business instead of wasting hours 00:02:19.880 --> 00:02:21.560 figuring it out alone. If you want a 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:23.400 walk-through on copying and customizing 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.320 an AI notebook for your own business, 00:02:25.320 --> 00:02:26.840 specifically how to set it up so it 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:28.680 saves you hours on research and content 00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:30.880 planning, that's inside the AI Profit 00:02:30.880 --> 00:02:32.160 Boardroom right now. Link's in the 00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:33.959 comments and description. Okay, back to 00:02:33.959 --> 00:02:35.440 the second big change. This one is 00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:37.680 bigger. Google is connecting Gemini to 00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.560 13 outside apps, not next year, over the 00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:42.360 next few weeks. Google announced this on 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.280 August 12th at their Made by Google 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.959 event. Here's the full list broken into 00:02:46.959 --> 00:02:49.160 four groups. For work, Gemini connects 00:02:49.160 --> 00:02:52.560 to Granola, Otter.ai, and Wix. For 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.320 booking things, it connects to Fever, 00:02:54.320 --> 00:02:56.840 GetYourGuide, Localizer, OpenTable, and 00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:58.880 Ticketmaster. For music, it connects to 00:02:58.880 --> 00:03:00.720 iHeartRadio and Pandora. And for 00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:02.560 everyday life, it connects to Angie, 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:04.800 Thumbtack, and Zocdoc. Let me explain 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:06.560 why this matters because on its own, 00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:08.320 that list just sounds like logos. Right 00:03:08.320 --> 00:03:09.920 now, if you want concert tickets, you 00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:12.239 open Gemini, ask a question, then leave 00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:14.120 Gemini, open a browser, search 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.320 Ticketmaster, find the show, and buy the 00:03:16.320 --> 00:03:18.200 ticket. That's five steps across two 00:03:18.200 --> 00:03:20.160 apps. Once this rolls out, you'll be 00:03:20.160 --> 00:03:22.280 able to just ask Gemini directly, "Find 00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:23.640 me a concert this weekend under a 00:03:23.640 --> 00:03:25.720 certain price." And Gemini can pull real 00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:27.280 Ticketmaster listings without you 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.480 leaving the conversation. Same idea with 00:03:29.480 --> 00:03:31.840 OpenTable for booking a table, Zocdoc 00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:33.800 for booking a doctor, and Wix for 00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:36.320 editing a website. Here's a one-sentence 00:03:36.320 --> 00:03:38.640 example. Say the AI Profit Boardroom 00:03:38.640 --> 00:03:40.880 wanted a new landing page. With Wix 00:03:40.880 --> 00:03:42.959 connected to Gemini, our team could 00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:44.440 simply tell Gemini to update the 00:03:44.440 --> 00:03:46.239 homepage headline to highlight our 00:03:46.239 --> 00:03:48.480 weekly automation coaching calls, and it 00:03:48.480 --> 00:03:50.400 edits the actual site. That's a real 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.640 shift from an AI you talk to into an AI 00:03:53.640 --> 00:03:55.720 that can act on your behalf inside tools 00:03:55.720 --> 00:03:57.800 you already use. Now, one honest caveat 00:03:57.800 --> 00:03:59.680 because I don't want to overhype this, 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.080 Ticketmaster's OpenTable connection is 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.080 UK only for now, and Google's own 00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.880 documentation says availability changes 00:04:06.880 --> 00:04:08.880 depending on your country, your device, 00:04:08.880 --> 00:04:10.440 and your account. So, don't expect every 00:04:10.440 --> 00:04:12.320 one of these 13 apps to work for you on 00:04:12.320 --> 00:04:14.240 day one. Some will roll out slower 00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:16.120 depending on where you live. 00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:17.840 There's also a bigger reason Google is 00:04:17.840 --> 00:04:20.000 doing this. It's not random. Google has 00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:22.200 a separate project called Gemini Spark. 00:04:22.200 --> 00:04:24.240 Spark is built to work in the background 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:27.040 for you using tools like Gmail, Docs, 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:29.040 and now these connected apps without you 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.880 having to ask for every single step. 00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:33.320 Spark can even use something called MCP, 00:04:33.320 --> 00:04:34.800 which just means it can plug into other 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:36.280 tools that weren't built by Google at 00:04:36.280 --> 00:04:38.400 all. Put those two things together, 1 00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:40.840 billion users, and an AI that can now 00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:43.320 act inside real apps, and you can see 00:04:43.320 --> 00:04:45.200 where this is heading. Gemini isn't 00:04:45.200 --> 00:04:46.640 trying to be the smartest chatbot 00:04:46.640 --> 00:04:48.400 anymore. It's trying to become the one 00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:50.400 place you go to get anything done. Let's 00:04:50.400 --> 00:04:51.840 talk about who this actually helps 00:04:51.840 --> 00:04:53.280 because that's more important than the 00:04:53.280 --> 00:04:55.240 tech itself. If you're a student, 00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:57.480 imagine your professor shares one master 00:04:57.480 --> 00:04:59.320 notebook with every lecture, every 00:04:59.320 --> 00:05:01.160 reading, and a study guide already 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:02.720 built. You copy the whole thing in one 00:05:02.720 --> 00:05:04.480 click and build your own study plan 00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.160 around it that night. 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:07.880 If you run a small business, imagine 00:05:07.880 --> 00:05:10.160 connecting Gemini to Granola so every 00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:11.360 client call gets summarized 00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.160 automatically with the action items 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:14.880 ready before your next meeting. If 00:05:14.880 --> 00:05:16.640 you're planning your weekend, you can 00:05:16.640 --> 00:05:18.160 just tell Gemini what kind of evening 00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:19.960 you want, and it can check real event 00:05:19.960 --> 00:05:22.000 listings and real restaurant openings 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:23.400 without you juggling four different 00:05:23.400 --> 00:05:25.400 apps. None of this needs you to know how 00:05:25.400 --> 00:05:27.240 to code. None of it needs a technical 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:29.080 background. That's actually the point of 00:05:29.080 --> 00:05:31.440 connected apps. Google built this for 00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:33.040 regular people, not developers. Now, 00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.680 here's the bigger picture because I 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:36.560 think this is the part people miss. For 00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:38.800 years, AI meant one thing. You type a 00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.640 question, it gives you an answer. That 00:05:40.640 --> 00:05:42.840 was it. Now, we're watching AI move from 00:05:42.840 --> 00:05:44.680 just answering questions to actually 00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.760 doing tasks inside the apps you already 00:05:46.760 --> 00:05:50.120 use, booking, editing, summarizing, all 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.480 from one conversation. And Google didn't 00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.280 get here by accident. They got here 00:05:54.280 --> 00:05:56.000 because Gemini already has 1 billion 00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:57.800 people using it every month. That's the 00:05:57.800 --> 00:05:59.800 distribution most companies would need 00:05:59.800 --> 00:06:01.720 years to build. Google already had it. 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:03.880 So, when they add a new connected app, 00:06:03.880 --> 00:06:05.840 it doesn't launch to a small test group. 00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:07.600 It launches to a huge chunk of the world 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.160 at once. If you're a business owner 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:10.600 watching this, here's the honest 00:06:10.600 --> 00:06:12.840 takeaway. The businesses that figure out 00:06:12.840 --> 00:06:15.000 how to use tools like Gemini early are 00:06:15.000 --> 00:06:16.760 going to move faster than the ones who 00:06:16.760 --> 00:06:18.600 wait and see. Not because the tool is 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.640 magic, but because every week you're not 00:06:20.640 --> 00:06:22.520 using it, someone else in your space 00:06:22.520 --> 00:06:24.280 already is. So, what should you actually 00:06:24.280 --> 00:06:25.960 do with this? If you're just getting 00:06:25.960 --> 00:06:28.400 started with AI, open Gemini notebook 00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:30.800 this week and try copying a public 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:32.840 notebook on a topic you care about just 00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:35.320 to feel how the copy feature works. 00:06:35.320 --> 00:06:37.280 If you already use Gemini regularly, 00:06:37.280 --> 00:06:39.080 check your connected app settings over 00:06:39.080 --> 00:06:41.000 the next few weeks as these 13 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:42.919 integrations roll out and turn on the 00:06:42.919 --> 00:06:44.640 ones that match tools you already use 00:06:44.640 --> 00:06:46.760 daily. If you run a business, start 00:06:46.760 --> 00:06:47.919 thinking about which one of these 00:06:47.919 --> 00:06:50.440 connected apps could remove a repetitive 00:06:50.440 --> 00:06:52.480 task from your week. Meeting notes, 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.160 bookings, website edits, pick one and 00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:56.120 test it. And if you manage a team, this 00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.240 is worth a 5-minute conversation in your 00:06:58.240 --> 00:07:00.280 next meeting. Not because everyone needs 00:07:00.280 --> 00:07:02.280 to become an AI expert, but because the 00:07:02.280 --> 00:07:04.480 tools your team uses every day are 00:07:04.480 --> 00:07:06.520 quietly getting more capable. And it's 00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:08.280 worth knowing what's available before 00:07:08.280 --> 00:07:10.320 someone on your team stumbles onto it by 00:07:10.320 --> 00:07:12.320 accident.
