Google Launches Gemini Spark in India: a Background Agent on Gemini 3.6 Flash That Runs With Your Laptop Closed
Announced July 29, Gemini Spark is a persistent personal agent that executes on Google's cloud infrastructure rather than the device, so it keeps working when a laptop is shut or a phone is locked, and connects natively to Gmail, Docs and Sheets with zero setup. Driven by Gemini 3.6 Flash, it handles standing tasks such as triaging email into documents, adding conditional calendar events, monitoring subscriptions and price changes, drafting emails for review, and scanning an inbox for customer inquiries. Google explicitly gates high-stakes actions, saying Spark asks first before spending money or sending emails, and it is rolling out to AI Ultra and Pro subscribers in India over the coming weeks.
