Google Gemini Spark, an always-on personal AI agent, was introduced at Google I/O in May 2026 and expanded to Australia on July 29, 2026. Unlike traditional conversational AI, Spark operates persistently on dedicated Google Cloud virtual machines, allowing tasks to continue even after a user session ends or their device is closed. Developers must carefully consider the execution model, tool integration, and security boundaries, establishing clear permissions, failure handling, and evidence preservation for these persistent runs.
