Google Launches Gemini Spark 24/7 Agent for Workspace
Google has launched the AI agent Gemini Spark in South Korea. The service operates around the clock in the background and integrates directly with tools such as Gmail and Google Sheets.
What happened?
Google Korea has announced the launch of Gemini Spark, a personal AI agent powered by the Gemini 3.6 model. The agent functions around the clock within Google Workspace tools like Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Sheets without requiring separate configuration. It can perform background tasks even when the user's computer is closed or the mobile screen is locked.

Why it matters
The launch represents a shift towards more integrated background agents that perform administrative tasks automatically, such as transferring information from email booking confirmations into spreadsheets. However, the agent requires user approval for sensitive tasks and does not operate entirely autonomously.
Who is affected?
The initial rollout targets users in South Korea who subscribe to Google AI Pro or higher subscription tiers. In the long term, the function is aimed at individuals and professionals looking to automate routine tasks within their digital workspace.
Impact on the EU
The service is currently being rolled out in South Korea. Google has not announced a launch date for the EU market.
What else you should know
The rollout is being conducted in phases for users with a Google AI Pro subscription or higher. The agent performs tasks via Google's cloud infrastructure, meaning that processes run independently of the user's own devices.
