Google announces “Gemini Spark,” an upcoming agentic AI assistant built for use inside the Gemini app as part of its preparations for Google I/O 2026. Multiple outlets describe Gemini Spark as an always-on (“24/7”) cloud-based assistant designed to carry out tasks for users rather than only answering questions like a traditional chatbot. TechCrunch and The Next Web report that Google builds Gemini Spark from Gemini base models and combines them with an agentic harness associated with Google’s Antigravity project. The Next Web and Engadget say the assistant includes Gmail integration, allowing it to interact with email and potentially operate in a workflow-like way with Google Workspace tools. CBS News frames the development as a step toward more autonomous AI tools that can perform actions on users’ behalf. Engadget reports that Gemini Spark rolls out to testers first, while other coverage indicates availability through Google’s AI Ultra subscription tier. Google also positions the feature as part of a broader set of AI announcements made at I/O 2026.
