Google has launched Gemini Spark in the US, an autonomous AI agent for subscribers of Google AI Ultra. This tool operates in the background to perform complex tasks and manage external applications, going beyond simple text generation. It functions through three core mechanisms: Tasks for setting overarching goals, Schedules for defining when actions should occur (based on time or events), and Skills for teaching the agent how to use specific tools and perform jobs. Gemini Spark can manage calendars, create documents in Google Workspace, and browse the web to gather data or make purchases, with real-time progress monitoring and the option for user intervention.
