Google Launches 24/7 Gemini Spark Agent for Workspace
Google has launched the AI agent Gemini Spark in South Korea. The service operates around the clock in the background and is integrated 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 24/7 within Google Workspace tools such as Gmail, Google Docs, and Google Sheets without the need for separate configuration. It can perform background tasks even when the user’s computer is closed or the mobile phone screen is locked.

Why it matters
The launch represents a shift towards more integrated background agents that automatically manage administrative tasks, such as transferring data from booking confirmations in emails to spreadsheets. However, the agent requires user approval for sensitive tasks and does not operate entirely autonomously.
Who is affected?
The initial launch affects users in South Korea who subscribe to Google AI Pro or higher subscription tiers. Long-term, the feature is aimed at individual users and professionals seeking to automate routine tasks in their digital work environment.
Impact on the EU
The service is initially being rolled out in South Korea. Google has not announced a launch date for the EU market.
What else you should know
The launch is occurring in phases for users with a Google AI Pro subscription or higher. The agent performs tasks via Google’s cloud infrastructure, meaning processes run independently of the user’s own devices.
