Google expands Gemini Spark access to AI Pro subscribers as AI agent gains new capabilities

More people can now try Gemini Spark as Google broadens access

The rollout still excludes users in the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Nigeria. Google is significantly expanding access to Gemini Spark, its AI-powered task delegation feature, after introducing it to a limited group of users earlier this year. Starting today, Google AI Pro subscribers in the US will begin receiving Gemini Spark. At the same time, Google is also expanding access to AI Ultra subscribers worldwide, complete with local language support. However, the feature still won't be available in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, or Nigeria. Gemini Spark is designed to offload longer, more time-consuming tasks to AI. Rather than simply answering prompts like a chatbot, Spark can perform multi-step tasks on a user's behalf, helping with research, planning, and other complex workflows while users focus on other tasks. The broader rollout marks a notable expansion from Spark's initial availability, which was limited to AI Ultra subscribers in the US. By bringing the feature to AI Pro subscribers in the US and to AI Ultra subscribers in additional markets, Google is making one of Gemini's most advanced productivity features available to a much larger audience. Spark is also expected to land on macOS in a much bigger way later this summer. Spark will work inside the Gemini desktop app on macOS, allowing the AI agent to interact with local files and automate workflows directly across the desktop.

Gemini Spark rolling out to Google AI Pro users in the US

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. * Task: Plan and manage my business trip to London. * Schedule: When my flight is delayed (condition), notify me and propose an update to my itinerary (task). * Skill: Using a "Travel Booking" skill and a "Gmail Writing" skill simultaneously to rebook a room and send a confirmation. 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. Calendar * Manage your schedule: Check your calendar, RSVP to invitations, and schedule new events. * Reschedule & clean up: Update meeting times, change locations, or cancel events. * Smart scheduling: Check your calendar and suggest open slots that fit everyone's availability. Gmail * Search & summarize emails: Search across your email threads to find specific topics or summarize conversations. * Draft & reply: Compose email drafts, forward emails, or reply to existing email threads. * Use labels: Organize your inbox with labels. Docs, Sheets, Slides, & Drive Important: To edit shared documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, you'll need to review and confirm Gemini Spark's planned edits. * Search & manage your Google Drive files: Search for files, read file contents, rename or delete files, check metadata, and view recent documents. * Write & edit documents: Create documents in Google Docs or edit existing ones -- adding summaries, notes, or editing specific sections. * Read comments: Read comments in Google documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. * Create & edit spreadsheets: Build, format, and edit custom spreadsheets in Google Sheets with data, tables, and formulas. * Generate & edit presentations: Create presentations in Google Slides from a prompt, and edit, add, and remove slides in a presentation. * Add images to documents & presentations: Add an image to your prompt and ask Gemini to add it to a document or presentation. Google Keep * Find notes & lists: Search for and retrieve notes and lists across Google Keep. * Create notes & lists: Create private lists and notes in Google Keep. Google Tasks 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.
