Google Announces Gemini Spark Agentic Assistant at I/O Conference
Google introduced Gemini Spark, an agentic personal assistant with Gmail integration. The product was announced at the company's I/O developer conference and is scheduled for release to Google AI Ultra subscribers next week.
EngadgetGoogle announced a new agentic personal assistant called Gemini Spark at the company's I/O developer conference on Tuesday. The product was built from Gemini base models and an agentic harness from Google Antigravity. Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai described Spark as the next evolution of smart digital assistants, using agentic AI to take on long-horizon tasks with minimal oversight.
"It's your personal AI agent that helps you navigate your digital life, taking action on your behalf and under your direction," Pichai told reporters during a pre-briefing of the product. Users can email Spark directly through a dedicated Gmail address, and the agent can interact with the web directly through Chrome.
On mobile, users can track the agent's progress through the new Android Halo system. A Google Labs vice president said small businesses are using Spark to watch over their inbox so they never miss a question from a customer. The agent can pull facts from emails, documents, sheets, and slides to write draft emails for users.
Spark is currently in testing at Google.
The company expects to make it available to Google AI Ultra subscribers next week. Like other agentic assistants, Spark can be integrated into a wide range of services over MCP, and Google expects to roll out more connections in the months to come.
