Google says Vietnam is Southeast Asia’s leading Gemini market for academic use, with learning-related prompts accounting for 17% of all activity in the country.
The figure comes from Google’s first Gemini Report: Southeast Asia 2026, released July 14. The company says Gemini’s active user base across Southeast Asia more than doubled over the past year, covering use in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The data is based on Google’s internal usage measurements, so it should be read as a company snapshot rather than an independent market study.
Vietnam also recorded the region’s highest local-language use: 89% of Gemini prompts were written in Vietnamese, ahead of Thailand at 87% and Indonesia at 84%. Google says nearly 70% of all prompts across the six markets were submitted in local languages.
Vietnamese students and educators are using Gemini heavily for study support, according to the report. More than 160,000 students reportedly use Gemini Canvas exam-preparation tools each month, while educators create roughly 55,000 teaching-support prompts per day.
Google also places Vietnam among the region’s leading markets for programming help and mathematical reasoning. Nearly one-third of Gemini interactions in Vietnam occur on computers rather than mobile devices, suggesting longer-form study, coding, document, and research tasks remain an important part of its use.
That desktop figure is notable for Windows users. Gemini is primarily accessed through the web and mobile app rather than as a native Windows desktop application, but its Canvas workspace and document-oriented tools fit naturally into browser-based study and productivity workflows on PCs. Schools and IT departments should nonetheless treat generated explanations, code, citations, and translations as material requiring verification—not authoritative source material.
Google separately reported in June that the Gemini app had surpassed 900 million monthly users globally, more than doubling over a year. The Southeast Asia report attributes regional growth to a young population—nearly 40% of residents are under 25—and better support for local languages.
For Windows students, educators, and administrators, the practical point is simple: Gemini is becoming a routine browser-based academic tool in Vietnam, so policies for acceptable AI use, source checking, and data handling need to keep pace.

A fast-growing regional market
Across Southeast Asia, Google says younger users submit more prompts, hold longer conversations, and write more detailed requests than older groups. Roughly three quarters of regional Gemini requests originate from mobile devices, while more than 40% involve voice, images, or video rather than text alone.Google separately reported in June that the Gemini app had surpassed 900 million monthly users globally, more than doubling over a year.
