Gemini Spark rolls out to Google AI Pro users in the US

Gemini Spark is now rolling out to Google AI Pro subscribers in the US, widening access to Google’s personal AI agent after its first launch in May with AI Ultra. The move opens the tool to a larger group of users who can now start using it for complex tasks that run across apps and services.

The timing matters because Spark is one of the clearest examples yet of Google pushing Gemini beyond chat and into automation. It appears as a new tab on the web and as a new page on Android and iOS, and it can use Connected Apps such as Google Workspace and Search, along with Personal Intelligence, a remote web browser, a computer with code execution, chats, Canvas and location, to carry out workflows.

Google is also using the rollout to define how the system works. A Task is the high-level goal a user wants accomplished. Skills are reusable instructions with extra context, while Schedules can trigger work automatically based on time or conditions. Users can have up to 15 tasks running at once, and Spark uses the same compute-based usage limits as the rest of Gemini.

The practical tradeoff is easy to miss if you only look at the headline. To edit shared documents, spreadsheets and presentations, users have to review and confirm Spark’s planned changes first. But the system can still make bulk actions on private tasks in Google Tasks without confirmation, which gives it more freedom in some places than others.

That split shows where Google is drawing the line as it expands the feature set. Spark has grown since launch, especially for Workspace-related work, and Google is now positioning it as part of Gemini’s broader automation push rather than a single experimental tool. The Gemini macOS app can also be used to start tasks like browsing files from a phone, adding another path into the same workflow system.

Google says Spark will soon be available to AI Pro members in other countries, but it has not said which markets will follow or when they will be switched on. For now, the story is simple: AI Pro users in the US are first in line, and the next expansion is promised but still undefined.
