Gemini Spark Rolls Out to Google AI Ultra Subscribers

Google's 24/7 AI agent, Gemini Spark, is now rolling out to US-based Google AI Ultra subscribers. This agent can work on tasks in the background, even when a phone is locked. Spark appears on Android, iOS, and the web. On the web, it's in the side panel. On mobile, it's between Search chats and Daily brief. The description says Spark helps navigate digital life, operating autonomously but always under user direction. It will check with you before major actions. Spark has three components: Tasks, Skills, and Schedules. Tasks connect it to Google Workspace apps like Gmail and Calendar. Skills allow you to define how Spark takes actions on frequent tasks, creating a tailored experience. Schedules let users automate workloads with time-based or conditional triggers. Google plans to add new features to Spark this summer, including the ability for it to spend money. This could significantly change how users manage their digital lives.
