  "textContent": "\n\n\n\nGemini Spark is a brand-new Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool from Google that wants to be your __ personal assistant.\n\nAvailable as part of the existing Gemini app on Android or iOS, as well as the standalone desktop app, Gemini Spark is designed to toil away in the background to solve multi-step queries. It's tied into _all_ of your existing Google services, including Gmail, Google Photos, and Google Docs, so it can pull out information or make edits. Google says Gemini Spark won't take any major actions without consulting you.\n\nFor example, you could ask Gemini Spark to trawl through your Gmail to find any upcoming deadlines and put them in a list.\n\nUnlike Google Gemini, there's no need to stick around and wait for the AI to finish its answer. You can lock your smartphone or switch off your laptop, and Gemini Spark will continue working in the background until it's done. Everything is synchronised across devices, so you could set the AI a complex task on your laptop, switch off that device, then check on your smartphone and make some adjustments.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nGemini Spark can perform recurring tasks, like spotting hidden fees in credit card bills every month. You can also daisy-chain multiple tasks together across several apps.\n\nFor example, you could ask Gemini Spark to read meeting notes across your chats and emails, bringing relevant information together into a polished report — written by Artificial Intelligence — that is saved in your Google Docs. It can also write the opening lines of an email and attach that Google Doc to the email, so that it's ready to send to anyone who couldn't make the catch-up.\n\nIf it works as promised, Gemini Spark promises to be a personal assistant for _everyone_.\n\nIn addition to Google's own apps — Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, Google Meet, Google Chat, Tasks, Keep, Google Calendar, Google Sites, and Google Drive — it'll also link with Canva, OpenTable, and Instacart. Google says more partner apps will be announced in the coming weeks.\n\n### LATEST DEVELOPMENTS\n\n\n\n\n  * **10 exciting new Android 17 features confirmed by Google**\n  * Best VPN deals\n  * **Spotify breaks silence over controversial Disco Ball logo change**\n  * **Googlebook is a new type of AI-packed laptop to challenge Windows 11**\n  * **Google brings the fight to Whoop with affordable Fitbit Air**\n  * iPhone 17 Pro review\n\n\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n> Google stressed that Gemini Sparks will _never_ perform \"high-stakes actions like spending money or sending emails\" without checking with you first.\n\nThe new agentic AI was unveiled during the Google I/O developer conference, where the Californian firm reveals its upcoming features and functionality to those who build the apps and products that millions of us rely on every day.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\nSumming up Gemini Spark, Google posted on X: \"Give it a task and it works autonomously in the background, even if your phone and laptop are turned off. You choose to turn it on and it's designed to check with you before taking major actions.\n\nGemini Spark will start to roll-out as a beta for US-based Google AI Ultra subscribers next week. We'd expect Gemini Spark to trickle down to those on more affordable plans, and across other countries, in the coming weeks and months.\n\n###\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter**",
