Overview
Gemini Spark is a **24/7 personal AI Agent** released by Google at the I/O conference on May 20, 2026, built on the Gemini 3.5 Flash model and the Antigravity agent infrastructure, serving as the core product of Google's 'Agentic Gemini Era' strategy.
Unlike traditional conversational AI, Gemini Spark **works continuously in the background**—it actively monitors your emails, calendar, tasks, and provides suggestions or automatically executes actions at the right time: handling email replies, booking trips, organizing materials, tracking project progress, etc. Spark is not 'ask and answer,' but 'assist you around the clock.'
