## Company & launch

*Who makes it and when it arrived. Company type and funding are context, not a quality score: an open-source project and a public company carry different risks, not better or worse ones.*

- **Company type** `documented` — Public company · part of Alphabet [11]
- **Company stage** `documented` — Public · NASDAQ: GOOGL / GOOG [11]
- **Disclosed funding** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Launch date** `documented` — May 19, 2026 · Announcement · Introduced as Gemini Spark [12]

**Launch history**

- 2026-05-19 · Announcement · Introduced as Gemini Spark [12]

## What it can do

*What this agent can actually operate — a machine of its own, yours, or neither. Computer control is three separate questions, and most products answer only some of them.*

- **What stands out** `documented` — Deep Gmail, Docs, and Sheets integration; trigger workflows from incoming email. [3]
- **Computer use** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Cloud agent; desktop control through the macOS app was announced, but completion of that rollout is not established by the reviewed sources. [4]
- **Controls your computer** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Desktop control through the macOS app was announced, but completion of that rollout is not established by the sources reviewed. [4]
- **Its own computer** `documented` — Dedicated Google Cloud virtual machines. Whether you can watch or drive one is not specified. [2]
- **Works while your computer is off** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Browser control** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Chrome auto browse works with signed-in accounts; the feature initially rolled out in the US. [5]
- **Voice & ambient listening** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Background work & triggers** `documented` — Tasks can run on a schedule or an event trigger, with up to 15 tasks executing concurrently. A scheduled run does not start if all 15 slots are occupied. [8]

## Apps & access

*Where you reach it and on what. A messaging integration is not a native app, so the two are tracked apart; an app listed here is a real first-party client.*

- **Native desktop apps** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Gemini has macOS and Windows apps; Tasks support on the desktop was announced as a later rollout. Web access is available. [4, 15]
- **iPhone & Android apps** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Task management in the Gemini apps for iOS and Android; account and feature availability apply. [6, 7]
- **Web & messaging** `documented` — Gemini app with Workspace integrations [1]
- **Messaging services** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Native hardware** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Developer API** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".

## Models & plans

*What you pay and what runs underneath. Where an agent is bundled into a larger subscription, the price shown is that subscription's — there is no separate fee for the agent.*

- **Models & providers** `documented` — Gemini 3.6 Flash in July rollout [3]
- **Bring your own model** `documented` — Gemini model usage included through Google AI plans; BYO model keys are not listed for Spark. [3]
- **Included in another plan** `documented` — Included with Google AI Pro or Ultra on eligible personal Google accounts. [8]
- **Price & usage costs** `documented` — Google AI Pro is US$19.99/month in the US. Tasks are also included with Google AI Ultra; Ultra's current price varies by tier and market. [8, 9, 10]

## Vendor lock-in

*How hard it is to leave, and what survives if the company does. Almost no hosted vendor publishes a shutdown commitment, so an answer here is usually read from the architecture rather than from a promise.*

- **If the vendor stops** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Provider-hosted, so the service depends on the vendor's servers. The company has not published what happens if it shuts down. [2]
- **Remote shut-off** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **What you keep** `documented` — Export through Google Takeout. Deletion generally takes around two months; temporary chats and those recorded with Keep Activity off are held 72 hours, and reviewed chats up to three years. [16, 17]

## Ownership & control

*What it asks before acting, what it remembers, and who else can see it. These are the questions that decide whether you would hand it your inbox.*

- **Open source & license** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Where it runs** `documented` — Dedicated Google Cloud virtual machines [2]
- **Passwords & credentials** `limited` (partial or conditional only) — Uses saved passwords through Chrome with permission; no separate Spark vault is described. [5]
- **Approval before actions** `documented` — Asks before sensitive actions such as spending money or sending email; Chrome hands sensitive steps back to you. [3, 5]
- **What it remembers** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Edit & export your data** `unknown` — Not specified — no reviewed source answers this, which is a gap in the catalogue rather than a "no".
- **Privacy & isolation** `documented` — User-controlled connections; approval for high-stakes actions [3]
- **Availability & access** `documented` — Available to adults with eligible personal Google accounts, Google AI Pro or Ultra, Keep Activity enabled, and Personal Intelligence enabled. Excludes EEA, Nigeria, Switzerland and the UK. [8]
