Google is set to unveil its enhanced agent feature, now named “Gemini Spark,” as part of the upcoming I/O 2026. This follows the recent beta release of version 17.23 of the Gemini app, which includes the new branding after being previously known as “Gemini Agent.”
The app leverages user data from various sources, such as connected applications and user preferences, to provide a more personalized experience. Users can expect features that adapt based on their activities, including the ability to manage tasks with a new two-tab interface for “Chat” and “Agent.”
Some early testers have begun to see Gemini Spark in action, which includes functionalities like summarizing emails and providing meeting briefs. However, Google has emphasized that the application is still experimental and may act autonomously in ways that require user oversight, such as sharing sensitive information or making purchases.
As Google continues to refine the application, users are encouraged to monitor its actions closely, particularly with respect to sensitive data management.
