Gemini Spark: Google's New 24/7 AI Assistant for Gmail

Google has unveiled Gemini Spark, a new AI assistant designed to work continuously in the background. This 24/7 personal AI agent aims to actively handle tasks for users, moving beyond simple query responses. What's interesting is that Spark runs on Gemini 3.5 and uses Antigravity technology, allowing it to continue processing tasks even when devices are offline because it's cloud-based. It will also be deeply integrated with Workspace applications like Gmail, Docs, and Slides. For example, Spark can analyze monthly credit card statements for new subscriptions or monitor school emails to compile daily summaries. It can even gather information from emails and chats to create organized documents and draft related emails for new projects. Google plans to expand Spark's abilities, with new connections to services like Canva and Instacart. The company states Spark operates under user control and will ask for permission for high-stakes actions. The rollout begins with trusted testers this week, and a beta version for Google AI Ultra subscribers in the United States is expected next week. This could change how you manage your digital life by automating many daily tasks.
