Google has launched Gemini Spark in India, bringing a new kind of artificial intelligence experience to its paid subscribers. Rather than functioning as a chatbot that waits for prompts, Gemini Spark is designed to act more like a digital assistant that can carry out tasks independently. From organising travel plans and drafting emails to monitoring subscriptions and updating calendars, the AI agent is built to automate everyday work with minimal user intervention.

The feature is powered by Google’s Gemini 3.6 Flash model and will begin rolling out over the coming weeks to Google AI Pro subscribers in India. According to Google,
Gemini Spark represents a shift in how people interact with AI, moving beyond conversations towards software that can actively complete work on a user’s behalf.
Here’s everything you need to know about Google’s latest AI offering.
What is Gemini Spark?
Gemini Spark is Google’s new always-on AI agent that is designed to perform tasks instead of simply responding to questions.
Unlike the standard Gemini chatbot, which generates answers during an active conversation, Gemini Spark can remember instructions, carry out recurring actions and complete workflows in the background without requiring users to repeatedly interact with it.
Google says the idea is to transform AI from a reactive assistant into a proactive one capable of handling routine digital tasks automatically.
The service is powered by Gemini 3.6 Flash, Google’s latest AI model optimised for speed and efficiency. Instead of requiring users to manually switch between Gmail, Google Docs, Sheets and Calendar, Gemini Spark can work across these applications to complete multi-step requests.
For example, rather than asking Gemini to draft an email every time, users can assign ongoing tasks that the AI continues to execute independently.
How does Gemini Spark work?
Unlike many AI tools that rely on a user’s device, Gemini Spark runs on Google’s cloud infrastructure.
That means it can continue processing requests even when a laptop has been closed or a smartphone has been locked. Users do not need to keep an application open for the AI agent to continue working.

“It operates on Google’s secure cloud infrastructure, which means it connects natively with your Google Workspace tools like Gmail, Docs, and Sheets with zero setup required,” Google said while announcing the feature.
The AI agent integrates directly with Google’s productivity suite, allowing it to access applications such as Gmail, Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Calendar once users grant permission.
Google says subscribers remain in control of the system. Users can choose whether to enable Gemini Spark and decide which apps and services it is allowed to connect with.
The company says this approach allows people to automate repetitive digital tasks while retaining control over their personal data and permissions.
Who can use Gemini Spark in India?
Gemini Spark is not available to all Google users. The feature will be rolled out gradually over the next few weeks and will be exclusive to Google AI Pro subscribers. This includes users subscribed to both Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra plans in India.
Google has not announced plans to make the feature available to free Gemini users.
The staggered rollout means eligible subscribers may receive access at different times over the coming weeks.
What can Gemini Spark do?
Google has demonstrated Gemini Spark through a range of real-world examples that show how the AI agent can automate both personal and professional tasks.
For travellers, it can detect flight and hotel confirmation emails arriving in Gmail, extract the booking details and automatically build a travel itinerary inside Google Sheets. It can also search for events happening at a destination and schedule recommended activities in Google Calendar when it detects free time.

For users planning their weekends, Gemini Spark can search for nearby events every Friday morning, compile recommendations into a Google Doc and even add selected activities directly to the calendar.
The AI agent is also designed to simplify event planning. Google says it can scan wedding RSVP emails, organise guests’ dietary preferences into a structured table and prepare summary emails for caterers.
It also offers tools for managing finances. Users can ask Gemini Spark to review monthly invoices stored in Gmail, identify subscription price increases or free trials that are about to expire, notify them of those changes and prepare cancellation emails ready for approval.
Professionals and business owners can use the AI agent to monitor customer enquiries, draft replies based on requested services or pricing packages and save them as email drafts before they are sent.
Google also showcased a personalised feature that allows Gemini Spark to analyse a user’s previous emails and build a custom writing style profile. By studying the last 50 emails written by a user, the AI can generate future drafts that closely match the person’s preferred tone and communication style.

With Gemini Spark, Google is betting that the next generation of AI will spend less time answering questions and more time completing work. As technology companies increasingly compete to build autonomous AI agents, the company’s latest launch signals a broader shift towards assistants that quietly manage routine digital tasks in the background while users focus on more important work.
