This means most of its total revenue — out of $102.3 billion — came from its ad business, which includes Google Search and YouTube ads. - Google Cloud – In the same quarter last year, Google Cloud earned about $11.35 billion. This year, it made $15.16 billion, which means its revenue grew by around 34%. That shows Google Cloud is becoming one of the fastest-growing parts of Alphabet’s business, powered by rising demand for AI and data services.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) – Alphabet is adding AI to products like Google Search, Workspace, and YouTube, which is helping it become a top AI-focused company.
