Google Gemini Spark: 24/7 AI Agent Works Offline

Google is upgrading its Gemini platform with a new 24/7 AI agent called Gemini Spark. This agent will work even when your laptop and phone are turned off. Unveiled at the Google I/O 2026 event, Gemini Spark helps navigate your digital life. You give it a task, and it operates autonomously in the background, always under your direction. It's designed to check with you before taking major actions. Gemini Spark can handle recurring jobs, organize inboxes, summarize meetings, and create full workflows. For example, it can scan credit card statements for hidden subscription charges or send parents a daily digest of important school deadlines. The long-term goal is a 'universal assistant' that is personal, proactive, and powerful. Google also announced the new Gemini 3.5 Flash model. This model combines "frontier intelligence" with faster performance speed and will become the default in the Gemini app and AI Mode. It is described as Google's strongest agentic and coding model yet, outperforming previous versions and other frontier models in speed and intelligence. This means Google is working to make AI a more constant and integrated part of your daily digital life.
