Google has launched Gemini Spark – a new 24/7 personal AI agent that doesn’t just answer questions but can get things done on your behalf.
Gemini Spark will be available to Google AI Pro subscribers in Australia in the coming weeks.
It is designed to work quietly in the background even when your laptop or desktop is asleep and when your phone is locked.
Driven by Gemini 3.5, Gemini Spark can handle time-demanding tasks and other digital chores to give you time to focus on more important matters.
For example, a busy parent might get Gemini Spark to sift through school emails to ensure they never miss a permission slip.
Gemini Sparks is shift for AI away from just being a reactive assistant into an active partner that can get real work done even while you’re sleeping.
And it always works under your direction and you can choose which apps you want it to connect with.
It will ask for your approval before sending emails and spending any of your money.
Here are some great prompts to try with Gemini Spark:
– Free-spirited traveller: “Whenever a new flight or hotel booking confirmation email arrives, automatically add the details to my ‘My Bali Trip Itinerary’ Google Sheet.” and “Find interesting local events and activities happening in Bali when I’m there and add them to my calendar on days I’ve got nothing else planned.”
– Weekend life-maxxer: “Every Friday at 8AM, find local events that you think I’d be interested in and add them to my rolling ‘Weekend plans’ Google Doc that I can check for inspiration on things to do. Include key info about the events or activities, including links to learn more. If there are 1-3 events that you highly recommend, go ahead and add them to my calendar.”
– Wedding party maestro: “Find my wedding RSVPs in Gmail, organise the dietary restrictions into a table, and draft a summary email to our caterer.”
– Savvy dollar-saver: “Every month on the 1st, audit my digital invoices in Gmail from the last month. Notify me about any subscription price hikes, or trials that are about to end and pre-draft cancellation emails.”
– Hustling entrepreneur: “Scan my inbox for customer inquiries. Automatically draft an email response recommending my services and pricing packages based on their request, and save it to drafts for my review.”
– Productive professional: “Read through the last 50 emails that I wrote and turn it into a style guide for how I write emails. Turn that into a skill that gets used every time I ask you to draft emails for me. Call that skill ‘ghostwriter’.”
