Now lock your laptop, let AI handle the rest:Google introduces ‘Gemini Spark’ in India, an AI agent designed to handle digital tasks automatically

Imagine having an AI assistant that keeps working even after you lock your phone or shut down your laptop. That’s exactly what Google is introducing with ‘Gemini Spark,’ a new AI-powered assistant that can complete everyday digital tasks on its own.
Unlike a normal chatbot that waits for your questions, Gemini Spark works quietly in the background, helping you stay organised without constant reminders. What is Gemini Spark? Gemini Spark is Google’s newest AI agent designed to automate everyday tasks. Instead of simply answering questions, it can remember your instructions and continue working for you throughout the day.
Whether it’s checking your emails, organising documents, updating spreadsheets, or preparing travel plans, Spark works in the background without needing you to open the app every time. Google calls it a 24/7 AI assistant because it can continue processing tasks on Google’s cloud servers even when your phone is locked or your computer is turned off. How is it different from the regular Gemini chatbot? The regular Gemini chatbot only responds when you ask it something. Gemini Spark takes things a step further. Once you assign a task, it keeps working automatically until it’s completed. Instead of waiting for new prompts, it monitors information and performs routine jobs on its own. For example, if you ask it to track your emails or organise travel details, it will continue doing that without needing repeated instructions. Gemini Spark is currently rolling out in India for Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers. Google says eligible users will start receiving the feature over the coming weeks.

What can Gemini Spark do? Gemini Spark can handle a wide range of everyday tasks, including: How will it benefit Indian users? Google shared several examples of how Spark can make daily life easier. It could be especially useful for students, working professionals, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and small business owners in India. 1. Travel Planning If a flight confirmation email arrives in your Gmail account, Spark can automatically extract the details and add them to your travel itinerary stored in Google Sheets. 2. Event Management Planning a wedding or family gathering becomes easier as Spark can collect RSVP responses, organise guest details, and prepare summaries such as meal preferences. 3. Weekend Suggestions Every Friday, Spark can search for local events, suggest places to visit over the weekend, and even add selected plans to your Google Calendar. 4. Subscription Tracking Forgotten subscriptions often lead to unnecessary spending. Spark can scan your monthly invoices, alert you about price increases or free trials that are about to expire, and even prepare cancellation emails for your approval. 5. Smarter Email Writing For professionals, Spark studies your previous emails to understand your writing style. It can then draft replies that sound more like you, saving both time and effort. Google says users stay in control Google says Gemini Spark is designed with privacy and user control in mind. Users choose which Google apps Spark can access and can decide whether to enable the feature. For sensitive actions, such as sending emails or making purchases, Spark will ask for permission before taking action. This ensures users remain in control of important decisions.
