Gemini Spark is Google's new 24/7 agentic assistant designed to help users "navigate your digital life" — getting online to-dos done, summarizing unread items like an entire inbox, or organizing tasks that would otherwise involve screen-time-heavy manual labor. The service was introduced at Google's I/O developer conference in May, where CEO Sundar Pichai joked that Spark means "yes, you can close your laptop" — comparing it to other agentic AI systems like OpenClaw that require keeping a machine awake. Spark runs on virtual machines in the cloud, making it agentic AI for users who'd rather get things done without setting up an always-on AI machine. Hands-on testing showed Spark helping with inbox summaries, local event planning, and personal expense spreadsheets. The service is part of Google AI Ultra at $100/month. The key question remains: why Google made it a separate product rather than integrating it into existing Google Workspace tools.
