Key Points:
- Google is reportedly preparing to unveil Gemini Spark at I/O 2026, an always-on AI agent designed to proactively handle digital tasks in the background without requiring manual prompts.
- Gemini Spark can access data from linked apps, chat history, schedules, websites, and location information to automate workflows across Google services and third-party platforms.
- The AI agent aims to evolve Gemini from a chatbot into a co-pilot that actively completes multi-step tasks, potentially including managing inboxes and finishing online workflows.
- Google warns users about privacy risks, noting that Gemini Spark may share sensitive information with third parties or make purchases autonomously, but settings will allow data clearing and service disconnection.
- Competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic are developing similar agent-style AI systems, and Gemini Spark may feature modular "skills" to expand its capabilities, possibly making it a key announcement at Google I/O on May 19.
