The open-source OpenClaw launched the start of the personalized AI agent craze, and now the major players are getting in on the action with their own walled-garden offerings. Enter Gemini Spark, Google’s “personal AI agent” offering announced during the company’s Google I/O developer conference on Tuesday. According to Google, Spark is designed to be a “personal AI agent that helps navigate your digital life.” It will ostensibly allow users to hand out more complicated, multi-step tasks and trust Gemini Spark to handle them autonomously in the background across multiple platforms. Gemini Spark is your new 24/7 personal AI agent. Give it a task and it works autonomously in the background, even if your phone and laptop are turned off. You choose to turn it on and it's designed to check with you before taking major actions. #GoogleIO — Google Gemini (@GeminiApp) May 19, 2026 In a demonstration of the agent’s capabilities, Google’s Vice President of Google Labs, Gemini, and AI Studio Josh Woodward showed Spark working to draft an email on his behalf. Seems simple enough. But Woodward tasked the agent with collecting information from Google Docs, emails, and chat conversations before running a skill designed to draft the email in Woodward’s voice. In a second demo, Woodward showed Spark compiling a list of people who RSVP’d to a block party and building a document that itemizes what each person is planning to bring. That document auto-updates when a new email related to the event comes into Woodward’s inbox.
