Google has started launching Gemini Spark, its AI-centric personal agent for automating everyday tasks, to Google AI Pro subscribers in the United States.
Initially, the feature was only launched in May as an exclusive for AI Ultra users, but Google says it will soon become available to AI Pro subscribers in more countries.
What is Gemini Spark?
Gemini Spark is particularly designed to handle complex workflows by combining Google’s AI with connected services like Google Workspace, Google Search, Personal Intelligence, location data and remote browser capabilities.
It is able to automate multi-step tasks, assisting users complete work with very minimal effort.
As per the Alphabet-owned Google, users can have nearly 15 active tasks running at the same time, with Spark using the same compute-based usage limits as the rest of Gemini.
New skills and schedules
Spark launches two latest automation tools:
Skills: Reusable instructions that assist Gemini perform certain tasks with added context.
Schedules: Automated triggers depending on time or conditions such as reacting to a delayed flight or reminding users about forthcoming events.
For example, Spark can automatically update a travel itinerary if a flight is delayed or use multiple skills to rebook a hotel and draft a confirmation email.
