Runs Search and YouTube and builds Gemini AI
Chrome has grown into one of the world's most popular products, driven by the interdependent evolution of the highly capable web platform that enables developers to build great sites and the simple, fast, secure browser that helps users experience those sites. While our core mission remains unchanged – to make the web work better for you – the ecosystem is undergoing a profound shift with the rapid rise of AI and agentic task delegation.
Google runs the world's most used search engine and free services such as YouTube, Android, and Gmail, and it builds the Gemini AI models that work inside them. In 2017, its researchers invented the transformer, the neural network design behind ChatGPT and most other AI chatbots. People use these services without paying, and Google earns most of its money from ads placed beside search results and YouTube videos. Businesses rent computing power and Gemini models through Google Cloud, and Google also sells subscriptions and Pixel phones. Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google in 1998 as Stanford PhD students; it is based in Mountain View, California, United States, and is the main business of parent company Alphabet.
