Google launches Gemini Spark, a 24/7 personal AI agent

Your move: Runs in the background even when your phone and laptop are off

At Google I/O 2026 on May 19, 2026, Google introduced Gemini Spark, a 24/7 personal AI agent built into the Gemini app. Give it a task and it keeps working in the background around the clock, even when your phone and laptop are off, running on dedicated virtual machines on Google Cloud and powered by Gemini 3.5 with Google's Antigravity agent harness. It connects to Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, and Sheets, and checks with you before taking major actions. It launched to Google AI Ultra subscribers the week after the announcement, alongside a macOS app integration.

Why it matters

This puts Gemini Spark in the same category as OpenClaw and Grok Bot: an always-on background agent instead of a chat window you actively drive. Worth knowing about if you're comparing options in this space, especially if you're already deep in Google Workspace.
