Google just unveiled Gemini Spark, an AI agent that doesn’t sleep, doesn’t take breaks, and apparently still can’t figure out who your best friend is. The tool, announced at Google I/O on May 19, represents the company’s most aggressive push yet into autonomous AI, moving well beyond chatbots that wait for you to type something into territory where the AI just goes ahead and does things on your behalf.
Gemini Spark runs continuously on cloud virtual machines, connecting to Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, and third-party tools. It stays active even when your phone is off and your laptop is closed.
What Gemini Spark actually does
The agent operates on Gemini 3.5 Flash and Google’s Antigravity platform, a dedicated infrastructure layer built specifically for persistent AI workloads.
Its capabilities span summarizing email threads, prioritizing to-do lists, drafting documents, managing recurring tasks, and learning user-specific workflows over time.
