Southeast Asia is experiencing a massive shift in how people interact with artificial intelligence, and Singapore is leading the charge on a global scale. Google has recently released The Gemini Report | Southeast Asia 2026, revealing that Singapore has achieved the #1 highest adoption rate per capita of Gemini globally, alongside the highest daily engagement in the region.
As of April 2026, Gemini has surpassed 900 million monthly users globally. The excitement is shared in Southeast Asia where the Gemini users are more than doubled in just 12 months. Sapna Chadha (Vice President, Google SEA) highlighted a massive milestone: “Gemini officially recognized as the best performing Large Language Model (LLM) for Southeast Asian languages overall. We are finally in a moment an AI that actually speaks our language—literally.”
How Singapore Leads the Region: Market Performance & Key Metrics
When compared to other LLMs, Gemini has rapidly pulled ahead as the most trusted AI assistant. Within this hyper-competitive landscape, Singapore has firmly established itself as the global pioneer of AI engagement.

A striking 58% of local Gemini prompts come from computers, signaling that users rely heavily on the tool within focused, heavy-duty professional environments.
- Driven by Young Professionals: The core engine behind this massive engagement is the workforce demographic, with 40% of the local user base consisting of 25 to 34-year-olds.
- Fueled by Productivity: Singaporeans heavily outpace the regional average in heavy-duty tasks, dedicating a combined 37% of their prompts to Coding (15%), Academic (12%), and Professional (10%) needs.
To visually put things into perspective, here is how Singapore’s specific user journeys compare to the broader Southeast Asian baseline:
