New Delhi: Google began rolling out Gemini Spark in India on Thursday, giving paid Gemini users access to a personal AI agent that can perform tasks in the background around the clock.<\/p>\n
The feature is being released to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers over the coming weeks and may not appear immediately for every eligible user. Google has positioned Spark as a move beyond chatbots that respond to individual prompts towards AI systems that can complete longer workflows under a user\u2019s direction.<\/p>\n
Unlike the standard Gemini experience, Spark runs through Google\u2019s cloud infrastructure and can continue working after a user closes a laptop or locks a phone.<\/p>\n
A user could, for example, ask the agent to monitor incoming emails, update a spreadsheet, prepare a weekly briefing, maintain an itinerary or draft responses to customer enquiries.<\/p>\n
How Gemini Spark works<\/p>\n
Spark operates through three main components: Tasks, Skills and Schedules.<\/p>\n
Tasks define the broader objective assigned to the agent. Skills contain reusable instructions explaining how a recurring job should be performed, while Schedules determine when or under what conditions the work should begin.<\/p>\n
A schedule could instruct Spark to review emails every Monday morning or take action when a message matching specified conditions reaches Gmail.<\/p>\n
Google said the agent can handle multi-step assignments rather than merely generate text. It can gather information from connected services, organise it and perform follow-up actions across different applications.<\/p>\n
The India rollout is powered by Gemini 3.6 Flash, according to Google\u2019s announcement. The agent can work with Google services including Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, YouTube and Maps.<\/p>\n
Google\u2019s integration with these services gives Spark access to the information and tools required to complete tasks without users manually copying material from one application to another.<\/p>\n
What users can ask it to do<\/p>\n
Google has suggested several early use cases for Indian subscribers.<\/p>\n
Travellers can ask Spark to detect booking-confirmation emails and add flight and hotel details to an itinerary. It can also find events at a destination and place selected activities on the user\u2019s calendar.<\/p>\n
For professionals, it can scan past emails, learn a user\u2019s writing pattern and create a reusable instruction set for future drafts.<\/p>\n
Small-business owners can use it to identify customer enquiries, prepare draft responses and recommend relevant services or prices based on the content of an email.<\/p>\n
Spark can also examine digital invoices, flag subscription-price increases and prepare cancellation emails for services nearing the end of a trial period.<\/p>\n
These examples show the difference between scheduled automation and a normal AI conversation. The user does not have to return with the same instruction each time; the task can continue according to a predefined schedule or trigger.<\/p>\n
User controls and privacy<\/p>\n
Spark is not activated automatically. Users choose whether to turn it on and decide which applications it can access.<\/p>\n
Connections to Google apps are disabled by default and must be enabled through settings. Google says Spark remains under the user\u2019s direction and is designed to seek confirmation before taking major actions.<\/p>\n
The company also says the agent does not indiscriminately read emails merely because it can operate continuously. Its access is tied to tasks and permissions given by the user.<\/p>\n
However, the increased ability to read private files, operate across applications and act while a user is offline also raises the consequences of errors.<\/p>\n
Google advises users to check Spark\u2019s responses, supervise its work closely and interrupt it when required. Compatibility and availability may also vary by account, language and feature.<\/p>\n
Available through paid plans<\/p>\n
Google AI Pro is priced at Rs 1,950 per month in India. The plan offers higher usage limits and access to additional Gemini capabilities.<\/p>\n
Google AI Ultra starts at Rs 6,500 per month, with a higher tier priced at Rs 19,500 per month. Ultra offers greater limits and earlier access to some advanced features.<\/p>\n
Spark is not currently part of Google\u2019s free AI plan or the lower-priced Google AI Plus subscription.<\/p>\n
The rollout expands Google\u2019s agentic AI strategy in India after the company introduced Personal Intelligence in the country in April. That feature allows users to connect information from Gmail, Google Photos, YouTube and Search to receive more personalised responses.<\/p>\n
Spark takes the next step by using connected information not only to answer questions, but also to carry out tasks.<\/p>\n
The immediate test will be whether users trust an AI agent with sufficient access to their emails, documents and schedules to make its round-the-clock operation genuinely useful.<\/p>\n
