Google is calling Spark a “24/7 personal AI agent,” and it’s powered by the company’s latest Gemini 3.5 Flash model. It uses antigravity harnesses and is deeply integrated with workspace tools like Gmail, Docs, Slides, and others. Unlike traditional assistants, Spark isn’t tied to your device. It runs in the cloud, and it can continue working even after you turn off your laptop or lock your phone.
Google shared several examples of what Spark can do. Users can create recurring workflows that automatically scan credit card statements for hidden subscriptions, monitor school-related emails and mark important messages, summarize meetings, generate Google Docs, and even draft follow-up emails associated with ongoing projects.
The company is also expanding Spark through MCP integration with services like Canva, OpenTable, and Instacart. Google says more integrations are coming, along with future features like custom sub-agents that can work directly in your browser, as well as the ability to interact with Spark via email or text messages.
Google says Spark remains user-controlled. The company says users decide when Spark is enabled, which apps it can connect to, and the AI will ask for approval before performing high-risk tasks like spending money or sending emails.
Android Central’s Tech
This is probably the first time Google’s AI ambitions actually seemed useful to me. Gemini Spark feels less like another chatbot gimmick and more like something that can actually save time in daily life.
That said, the idea of Google constantly sitting in the background reading emails, tracking tasks, and managing workflows still seems a bit invasive. I still don’t completely know if I can trust it
