At its recent I/O developer conference, Google unveiled Gemini Spark, an always-on AI agent designed to connect with personal data, complete online tasks, and automate daily interactions. The agent is part of Google's AI Ultra plan, which starts at $100 per month, and is currently in beta. Users can access Gemini Spark through a new tab in the Gemini chatbot, using both mobile and desktop devices. The AI agent can create calendar events, send emails with user approval, and operate a remote browser to navigate the internet. Commands are referred to as 'tasks,' rather than prompts, according to the source. *Source: [wired](https://www.wired.com/story/google-gemini-spark-ai-agent-hands-on/)* During a test, the author provided Gemini Spark access to personal data, including Gmail, Docs, and Calendar. The agent then generated a detailed birthday itinerary, including a guest list, venue rules, and nearby dining spots. The AI also suggested specific venues like Toad Hall and OASIS, which were found in the user's Google Workspace history. The agent's recommendations were based on exact keywords, past itineraries, and transactions, rather than inferences about the user's identity. *Source: [wired](https://www.wired.com/story/google-gemini-spark-ai-agent-hands-on/)* However, the AI struggled with booking dinner reservations, triggering a six-digit verification code but failing to complete the task. The user had to manually call the restaurant to secure spots. The AI-generated email to guests included venue rules that were overly strict, prompting the user to request a more casual tone. After approval, the agent sent the email automatically. *Source: [wired](https://www.wired.com/story/google-gemini-spark-ai-agent-hands-on/)* Google warns users about potential security risks, such as prompt injection attacks, where malicious instructions could lead to data leaks. The company's help page provides an example of how an attacker might trick the agent into exposing private information. Despite its capabilities, the AI lacks common sense, as seen when it failed to recognize the user's relationship with their boyfriend. *Source: [wired](https://www.wired.com/story/google-gemander-gemini-spark-ai-agent-hands-on/)*
