Gemini Spark
Google · 24/7 Personal AI Agent for Google Apps

Frequently asked questions
What does Gemini Spark do?
Spark is a personal agent that runs continuously in Google's cloud. You give it one-time tasks, scheduled routines (time- or condition-triggered), or recurring custom skills, and it executes them across connected Google apps even when your devices are off.
How much does Gemini Spark cost?
Spark has no standalone price — it is included with Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscriptions. Plan pricing varies by country.
Does Gemini Spark read all my email?
Google states Spark does not read your emails indiscriminately: app connections are off by default, you enable each one, and it checks with you before major actions like sending email or spending money.
Gemini vs Gemini Spark: what is the difference?
Gemini is the conversational assistant you prompt and get answers from. Spark is a separate agent layer that keeps working in the background on standing tasks, schedules, and skills without an open chat session.

Paid
Manus
Professionals and teams who need AI to complete defined tasks end-to-end — research reports, data extraction, scheduled automation, presentations — rather than assist with each step manually
Freemium
Lindy
Individual professionals and small teams who want an AI assistant that works across their actual email, calendar, and CRM without building explicit automation flows
PaidAbout Gemini Spark
Spark shifts the assistant model from ask-and-answer to standing delegation. You hand it three kinds of work: one-time Tasks (organize my Drive, find internship openings), Schedules with time or condition triggers (every Monday at 9, scan my inbox and summarize), and Skills — custom behaviors that recur based on your patterns. Because it runs on Google's cloud infrastructure rather than your device, work continues after you close your laptop. It connects natively to Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, YouTube, and Google Maps, with every connection off by default until you enable it, and it checks with you before major actions. The tradeoff is ecosystem depth over breadth: it is built around Google apps, requires a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription, and is limited to users 18+ in supported countries.
