WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:03.700 Google's Gemini AI just hit 1 billion monthly users. 00:03.900 --> 00:07.260 And in the same week, Google gave it 13 new powers. 00:07.420 --> 00:08.260 That's the story today. 00:08.660 --> 00:11.760 Google's Gemini AI just crossed 1 billion people 00:11.760 --> 00:12.740 using it every month. 00:13.140 --> 00:14.720 Sundar Pichai announced it himself. 00:15.080 --> 00:16.780 He called it the fastest growing product 00:16.780 --> 00:18.260 in Google's 28 year history. 00:18.380 --> 00:21.580 Not the fastest AI product, the fastest product, period. 00:21.940 --> 00:25.400 Faster than search, faster than Gmail, faster than YouTube. 00:25.820 --> 00:26.500 Here's how fast. 00:26.500 --> 00:29.700 In May last year, Gemini had 400 million users. 00:30.000 --> 00:32.000 By this May, it hit 900 million. 00:32.320 --> 00:34.900 Then in July, it was at 950 million. 00:35.220 --> 00:37.380 And in less than a month after that, it crossed 1 billion. 00:37.620 --> 00:40.380 That last stretch from 950 million to 1 billion 00:40.380 --> 00:42.300 took Gemini about two weeks. 00:42.640 --> 00:44.280 Two weeks to add 50 million people. 00:44.880 --> 00:48.840 A year ago, an AI app crossing 400 million users felt huge. 00:48.920 --> 00:50.940 Now, Google is adding tens of millions of users 00:50.940 --> 00:52.040 in a matter of days. 00:52.320 --> 00:53.380 That's the curve we're on. 00:53.580 --> 00:55.520 It's not slowing down, it's speeding up. 00:55.520 --> 00:57.180 And Google isn't just celebrating the number. 00:57.180 --> 01:00.480 They use that same week to roll out two big changes 01:00.480 --> 01:02.440 to what Gemini can actually do for you. 01:02.520 --> 01:04.900 The first change is inside Gemini Notebook. 01:05.020 --> 01:06.600 If you don't know Gemini Notebook, 01:06.740 --> 01:09.760 think of it as a folder where you dump all your research, 01:09.940 --> 01:10.880 documents and notes, 01:11.080 --> 01:13.300 and the AI reads through everything for you. 01:13.560 --> 01:15.240 It used to be called Notebook LM. 01:15.820 --> 01:17.280 Google renamed it back in July. 01:17.620 --> 01:18.540 Now, here's the new part. 01:18.720 --> 01:21.960 As of August 12th, you can copy someone else's entire notebook, 01:22.160 --> 01:24.400 not just their notes, their sources too. 01:24.400 --> 01:26.740 And any documents, guides, or summaries 01:26.740 --> 01:28.360 that AI already built for them. 01:28.840 --> 01:30.500 Think about what that actually means. 01:30.840 --> 01:33.320 Before this, if a colleague built a great research notebook, 01:33.580 --> 01:34.400 you could look at it, 01:34.460 --> 01:36.080 but you couldn't easily make it your own 01:36.080 --> 01:37.240 and build on top of it. 01:37.500 --> 01:38.420 Now, you click one button, 01:38.740 --> 01:41.000 and their whole notebook, sources, documents, 01:41.220 --> 01:42.800 everything becomes yours to edit. 01:43.100 --> 01:44.440 Here's a one-sentence example. 01:44.940 --> 01:46.540 Inside the AI Profit Boardroom, 01:46.820 --> 01:48.620 if one of our coaches builds a notebook 01:48.620 --> 01:50.200 packed with proven prompts 01:50.200 --> 01:52.680 and case studies for automating client outreach, 01:52.680 --> 01:55.040 any member can now copy that entire notebook 01:55.040 --> 01:57.580 in one click and start customizing it 01:57.580 --> 01:59.220 for their own business the same day. 01:59.460 --> 02:00.200 That's the shift. 02:00.500 --> 02:02.540 A notebook isn't just something you read anymore. 02:02.680 --> 02:03.800 It's something you can duplicate, 02:04.000 --> 02:05.360 like a template, and make your own. 02:05.740 --> 02:07.220 Now, if you're watching this and thinking, 02:07.380 --> 02:08.540 I don't even know where to start 02:08.540 --> 02:09.820 with tools like Gemini Notebook, 02:10.100 --> 02:12.740 that's exactly why we built the AI Profit Boardroom. 02:12.940 --> 02:14.840 It's a community built around 02:14.840 --> 02:16.940 learning to use tools like this the right way, 02:17.000 --> 02:18.620 so you save real time in your business 02:18.620 --> 02:20.800 instead of wasting hours figuring it out alone. 02:20.800 --> 02:22.640 If you want to walk through on copying 02:22.640 --> 02:25.020 and customizing an AI notebook for your own business, 02:25.160 --> 02:26.700 specifically how to set it up 02:26.700 --> 02:29.020 so it saves you hours on research and content planning, 02:29.160 --> 02:31.740 that's inside the AI Profit Boardroom right now. 02:31.840 --> 02:32.960 Links in the comments and description. 02:33.400 --> 02:34.920 Okay, back to the second big change. 02:35.020 --> 02:35.760 This one is bigger. 02:36.200 --> 02:39.080 Google is connecting Gemini to 13 outside apps, 02:39.140 --> 02:41.340 not next year, over the next few weeks. 02:41.540 --> 02:43.300 Google announced this on August 12th 02:43.300 --> 02:44.620 at their Made by Google event. 02:45.160 --> 02:47.540 Here's the full list, broken into four groups. 02:47.540 --> 02:52.100 For work, Gemini connects to Granola, Otter, Dot AI, and Wix. 02:52.440 --> 02:54.300 For booking things, it connects to Fever, 02:54.460 --> 02:57.320 Get Your Guide, Localizer, Open Table, and Ticketmaster. 02:57.580 --> 03:00.160 For music, it connects to iHeartRadio and Pandora. 03:00.520 --> 03:02.280 And for everyday life, it connects to Angie, 03:02.700 --> 03:04.140 Thumbtack, and ZocDoc. 03:04.280 --> 03:05.480 Let me explain why this matters, 03:05.580 --> 03:08.020 because on its own, that list just sounds like logos. 03:08.180 --> 03:09.580 Right now, if you want concert tickets, 03:09.900 --> 03:12.680 you open Gemini, ask a question, then leave Gemini, 03:12.980 --> 03:14.700 open a browser, search Ticketmaster, 03:15.080 --> 03:16.680 find the show, and buy the ticket. 03:16.680 --> 03:18.500 That's five steps across two apps. 03:18.860 --> 03:21.740 Once this rolls out, you'll be able to just ask Gemini directly. 03:22.120 --> 03:24.320 Find me a concert this weekend under a certain price. 03:24.660 --> 03:26.700 And Gemini can pull real Ticketmaster listings 03:26.700 --> 03:28.260 without you leaving the conversation. 03:28.660 --> 03:31.080 Same idea with OpenTable for booking a table, 03:31.480 --> 03:32.700 ZocDoc for booking a doctor, 03:33.100 --> 03:34.620 and Wix for editing a website. 03:35.080 --> 03:36.800 Here's a one-sentence example. 03:37.260 --> 03:39.980 Say the AI Profit Boardroom wanted a new landing page. 03:40.260 --> 03:41.900 With Wix connected to Gemini, 03:42.240 --> 03:43.860 our team could simply tell Gemini 03:43.860 --> 03:45.320 to update the homepage headline 03:45.320 --> 03:47.920 to highlight our weekly automation coaching calls, 03:48.220 --> 03:49.600 and it edits the actual site. 03:49.880 --> 03:52.540 That's a real shift from an AI you talk to 03:52.540 --> 03:54.940 into an AI that can act on your behalf 03:54.940 --> 03:56.360 inside tools you already use. 03:56.700 --> 03:57.620 Now, one honest caveat, 03:57.820 --> 03:59.380 because I don't want to overhype this, 03:59.740 --> 04:01.520 Ticketmaster's OpenTable connection 04:01.520 --> 04:03.220 is UK only for now, 04:03.300 --> 04:04.660 and Google's own documentation 04:04.660 --> 04:06.560 says availability changes 04:06.560 --> 04:07.920 depending on your country, 04:08.300 --> 04:09.480 your device, and your account. 04:09.600 --> 04:11.600 So don't expect every one of these 13 apps 04:11.600 --> 04:12.740 to work for you on day one. 04:12.740 --> 04:15.280 Some will roll out slower depending on where you live. 04:16.060 --> 04:18.380 There's also a bigger reason Google is doing this. 04:18.460 --> 04:19.100 It's not random. 04:19.520 --> 04:21.880 Google has a separate project called Gemini Spark. 04:22.300 --> 04:24.580 Spark is built to work in the background for you, 04:24.920 --> 04:26.820 using tools like Gmail, Docs, 04:27.060 --> 04:28.420 and now these connected apps, 04:28.700 --> 04:30.660 without you having to ask for every single step. 04:31.100 --> 04:33.080 Spark can even use something called MCP, 04:33.360 --> 04:35.140 which just means it can plug into other tools 04:35.140 --> 04:36.480 that weren't built by Google at all. 04:36.480 --> 04:37.880 Put those two things together, 04:37.880 --> 04:39.160 one billion users, 04:39.560 --> 04:42.260 and an AI that can now act inside real apps, 04:42.580 --> 04:44.160 and you can see where this is heading. 04:44.540 --> 04:46.980 Gemini isn't trying to be the smartest chatbot anymore. 04:47.240 --> 04:48.720 It's trying to become the one place 04:48.720 --> 04:49.900 you go to get anything done. 04:50.220 --> 04:51.860 Let's talk about who this actually helps, 04:51.960 --> 04:53.940 because that's more important than the tech itself. 04:54.140 --> 04:55.000 If you're a student, 04:55.360 --> 04:57.820 imagine your professor shares one master notebook 04:57.820 --> 04:59.720 with every lecture, every reading, 04:59.900 --> 05:01.480 and a study guide already built. 05:01.580 --> 05:03.060 You copy the whole thing in one click 05:03.060 --> 05:05.360 and build your own study plan around it that night. 05:05.360 --> 05:07.260 If you run a small business, 05:07.520 --> 05:09.480 imagine connecting Gemini to Granola 05:09.480 --> 05:11.920 so every client call gets summarized automatically 05:11.920 --> 05:14.480 with the action items ready before your next meeting. 05:14.920 --> 05:16.100 If you're planning your weekend, 05:16.320 --> 05:18.580 you can just tell Gemini what kind of evening you want, 05:18.820 --> 05:20.360 and it can check real event listings 05:20.360 --> 05:21.800 and real restaurant openings 05:21.800 --> 05:23.720 without you juggling four different apps. 05:24.060 --> 05:25.900 None of this needs you to know how to code. 05:26.260 --> 05:27.640 None of it needs a technical background. 05:28.060 --> 05:29.820 That's actually the point of connected apps. 05:30.240 --> 05:32.860 Google built this for regular people, not developers. 05:33.020 --> 05:34.080 Now, here's the bigger picture, 05:34.080 --> 05:36.160 because I think this is the part people miss. 05:36.500 --> 05:38.160 For years, AI meant one thing. 05:38.420 --> 05:39.220 You type a question. 05:39.480 --> 05:40.340 It gives you an answer. 05:40.520 --> 05:40.980 That was it. 05:41.100 --> 05:43.980 Now we're watching AI move from just answering questions 05:43.980 --> 05:47.140 to actually doing tasks inside the apps you already use, 05:47.460 --> 05:51.000 booking, editing, summarizing, all from one conversation. 05:51.700 --> 05:53.440 And Google didn't get here by accident. 05:53.780 --> 05:55.540 They got here because Gemini already has 05:55.540 --> 05:57.180 one billion people using it every month. 05:57.440 --> 05:59.600 That's the distribution most companies would need 05:59.600 --> 06:00.460 years to build. 06:00.620 --> 06:01.520 Google already had it. 06:01.520 --> 06:03.660 So when they add a new connected app, 06:03.780 --> 06:05.660 it doesn't launch to a small test group. 06:05.980 --> 06:08.000 It launches to a huge chunk of the world at once. 06:08.320 --> 06:09.780 If you're a business owner watching this, 06:10.060 --> 06:11.000 here's the honest takeaway. 06:11.420 --> 06:13.660 The businesses that figure out how to use tools 06:13.660 --> 06:15.940 like Gemini early are going to move faster 06:15.940 --> 06:17.360 than the ones who wait and see. 06:17.820 --> 06:19.020 Not because the tool is magic, 06:19.480 --> 06:21.220 but because every week you're not using it, 06:21.560 --> 06:23.100 someone else in your space already is. 06:23.320 --> 06:24.940 So what should you actually do with this? 06:25.080 --> 06:26.880 If you're just getting started with AI, 06:26.880 --> 06:28.920 open Gemini Notebook this week 06:28.920 --> 06:31.260 and try copying a public notebook 06:31.260 --> 06:32.440 on a topic you care about 06:32.440 --> 06:34.480 just to feel how the copy feature works. 06:35.300 --> 06:37.000 If you already use Gemini regularly, 06:37.380 --> 06:38.840 check your connected app settings 06:38.840 --> 06:39.860 over the next few weeks 06:39.860 --> 06:42.160 as these 13 integrations roll out 06:42.160 --> 06:43.920 and turn on the ones that match tools 06:43.920 --> 06:45.000 you already use daily. 06:45.380 --> 06:46.180 If you run a business, 06:46.560 --> 06:48.780 start thinking about which one of these connected apps 06:48.780 --> 06:51.740 could remove a repetitive task from your week, 06:51.860 --> 06:53.640 meeting notes, bookings, website edits, 06:53.780 --> 06:54.640 pick one and test it. 06:54.640 --> 06:55.880 And if you manage a team, 06:56.020 --> 06:57.680 this is worth a five minute conversation 06:57.680 --> 06:58.920 in your next meeting. 06:59.380 --> 07:01.400 Not because everyone needs to become an AI expert, 07:01.720 --> 07:04.080 but because the tools your team uses every day 07:04.080 --> 07:05.980 are quietly getting more capable 07:05.980 --> 07:07.680 and it's worth knowing what's available 07:07.680 --> 07:09.200 before someone on your team 07:09.200 --> 07:10.780 stumbles onto it by accident. 07:10.960 --> 07:12.380 If you want help figuring out 07:12.380 --> 07:14.620 exactly how to use tools like Gemini Notebook 07:14.620 --> 07:16.400 and connected apps to save time 07:16.400 --> 07:17.220 and grow your business, 07:17.380 --> 07:18.800 that's what we do every week 07:18.800 --> 07:20.300 inside the AI Profit Boardroom. 07:20.500 --> 07:21.920 We're already building a walkthrough 07:21.920 --> 07:24.160 on setting up Gemini's connected apps 07:24.160 --> 07:26.680 specifically for lead generation and client bookings. 07:26.680 --> 07:27.760 So you're not guessing 07:27.760 --> 07:28.980 when it rolls out to your account. 07:29.480 --> 07:30.760 Four coaching calls every week, 07:30.920 --> 07:32.460 daily step-by-step tutorials, 07:32.800 --> 07:35.080 the moment new AI features like this launch, 07:35.380 --> 07:37.540 a prompt library built for real business use, 07:37.880 --> 07:38.960 not generic examples, 07:39.280 --> 07:41.160 and a member map so you can connect 07:41.160 --> 07:42.980 with other business owners near you 07:42.980 --> 07:44.440 who are testing the same tools. 07:44.800 --> 07:46.020 Link is in the comments and description 07:46.020 --> 07:48.720 or head to AIprofitboardroom.com. 07:48.720 --> 07:50.960 And if you just want to start smaller, 07:51.220 --> 07:52.320 free, no pressure, 07:52.640 --> 07:53.800 join the AI Success Lab. 07:54.040 --> 07:54.960 It's our free community. 07:55.320 --> 07:56.660 And if you want the full process, 07:56.980 --> 07:59.640 the SOPs and over 100 AI use cases 07:59.640 --> 08:01.080 like the ones I covered today, 08:01.240 --> 08:02.580 that's exactly what's inside. 08:02.760 --> 08:04.320 You'll get all the notes from this video there, 08:04.580 --> 08:07.180 plus access to a community of 75,000 members 08:07.180 --> 08:09.980 who are already using tools like Gemini to get ahead. 08:10.300 --> 08:11.540 Links in the comments and description. 08:11.980 --> 08:14.140 Gemini just crossed 1 billion users 08:14.140 --> 08:16.420 and it's only getting more capable from here. 08:16.420 --> 08:18.260 The question isn't whether tools like this 08:18.260 --> 08:19.660 become part of how you run your day, 08:19.820 --> 08:21.380 it's whether you start using them now 08:21.380 --> 08:22.520 or catch up later.
