Google's Gemini Spark AI assistant could book flights and manage your inbox automatically

Google's upcoming 'Gemini Spark' could soon book your flights and handle your inbox

Google has experimented with AI agents before with internal projects like "Remy," but the current Gemini Agent tools have been largely confined to paying AI Ultra users. Spark looks like the next step in that evolution, but this time with a wider consumer-facing angle. Meanwhile, Google is also warning users about the risks. The onboarding screen says Gemini Spark can share sensitive information with third parties or make purchases without asking for confirmation in some situations. The system can also store remote browser session data, including login information and remote execution states, so that workflows can keep running in the background. The Gemini settings will apparently allow users to clear that data or turn off connected services.
