Google has introduced a new AI assistant named Gemini Spark, described as a “24/7 personal AI agent” that functions as an “active partner” instead of a conventional assistant. The new assistant is powered by Gemini 3.5 and is integrated with Google Workspace applications, including Gmail, Docs, and Slides.
Users can teach Gemini Spark to perform various tasks, such as creating lists of deadlines in Gmail and summarizing lengthy email threads. The assistant can also be programmed for recurring tasks, such as identifying hidden fees in credit card bills each month. Additionally, Spark can execute interconnected tasks; for example, it can generate reports in Google Docs based on meeting notes and draft related emails.

Gemini Spark is rolling out to testers this week and will be available to Google AI Ultra beta users in the United States next week. The usage of Spark is opt-in, allowing users to decide whether to enable the assistant and select which applications it can connect to.
In addition to Google Workspace apps, Spark currently supports integrations with Canva, OpenTable, and Instacart, with more partner applications expected in the coming weeks. Google aims to release additional features for Spark in the future, including the capability to send texts and emails and to control the browser.
The company stated that Spark will prompt users before performing significant actions, such as spending money or sending emails. Furthermore, Gemini Spark will be incorporated into the Gemini desktop app this summer, enabling it to access files and perform tasks directly on users’ computers.
