Overview
- Gemini Spark is now built into Chrome for eligible subscribers and can run background, multi‑step web tasks that continue even when you close the browser.
- Hands‑on testing shows Spark can autonomously navigate sites, compare products, add items to carts and fill forms but it pauses and requests user approval before purchases or other sensitive actions.
- Google has said Spark will reach users in Canada in the coming weeks and has staged regional rollouts and subscription gates for access.
- APK and app teardowns reveal Google is testing full Skill management inside the Gemini Android app and an AI Setup Assistant for Android that would guide phone setup and account recovery, but those features are still in development and not yet widely available.
- Access and safety controls include subscription tiers (Google AI Pro/Ultra and certain Workspace plans), Chrome Safe Browsing settings, and explicit approval prompts, raising questions about enterprise admin controls and how consent will be managed as the features expand.
