“As a result of its unwillingness to share hard numbers, all we have to look at are numbers like those I've received from Similarweb and Sensor Tower, and it's fair to suggest that Gemini and its associated products have been a complete flop.”
Our reading:
Given Google's refusal to share hard numbers and the Similarweb and Sensor Tower data, it is fair to suggest that Gemini and its associated products have been a complete flop.

Why
He hedged this claim: he said it is 'fair to suggest' Gemini has been a 'complete flop', based on the limited third-party data he had. He gave no measure for a flop and did not say which 'associated products' count. Grading it would mean picking a success bar and a product set he never stated. For context, court data showed Gemini at 9 million daily users in October 2024, rising to 35 million by March 2025, so the numbers could be read either way. Because the claim is hedged and has no stated measure, it is not graded.
Caveats
- Usage data is given as context only and does not grade the claim.

How we judged it
- Kind of claim
- Observation
- Deadline
- None given. We don’t add one.
Conditions
- fair to suggest (their words)
- based on Similarweb and Sensor Tower data (their words)
Where we had to interpret
- The claim is hedged ('it's fair to suggest') and is framed as an inference from the limited third-party data he had.
- 'Complete flop' has no stated threshold, and 'associated products' is undefined. Grading it would mean choosing a success bar and a product set the speaker did not give.
- For these reasons it is treated as a hedged judgment, not a firm factual claim.
We don’t grade claims like this. We only check the quote and who said it.
What would settle it
A firm restatement with a defined product set and success threshold could be tested against Google's reported usage and revenue.
