After launching in May with AI Ultra, Gemini Spark is now rolling out to Google AI Pro subscribers in the US. It will “soon” be available to AI Pro members in other countries.
Gemini Spark is Google’s personal AI agent for automating complex tasks. On the web, you’ll see a new tab at the top of the navigation drawer, while it’s a new page on Android and iOS.
Spark uses Connected Apps like Google Workspace and Search, Personal Intelligence, remote web browser and computer with code execution, chats, Canvas, and location to accomplish workflows.
With Spark, Google is introducing the concept of Skills (reusable instructions with additional context) and Schedules (automated triggers like time or conditions), with a Task being the high-level goal you want accomplished.
You can “have up to 15 tasks running at a given time,” with Spark using the same compute-based usage limits as the rest of Gemini.
Since launch, Google has expanded what Spark can do, with the Workspace functionality getting particularly big updates. The Gemini macOS app lets you start tasks, like browsing files, from your phone.
Important: To edit shared documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, you’ll need to review and confirm Gemini Spark’s planned edits.
Important: Gemini can perform bulk actions on private tasks in Google Tasks without your confirmation. Please review your request before you submit or manage directly in Google Tasks.
