Google's Gemini has remained ad-free while other tools have explored paid placements. The company is considering monetization options, including ads in Gemini. Philipp Schindler mentioned that while the focus is on AI Mode, a successful ad format could transfer to Gemini. He acknowledged that ads are crucial for scaling products and can provide valuable information. Previously, Google stated it had no immediate plans for ads in Gemini, countering reports of client briefings on the topic. Competitors are also exploring various monetization strategies for AI chatbots.
