Google launches Gemini Spark in India with always-on AI agent capabilities
Google has started rolling out Gemini Spark in India for AI Pro and AI Ultra subscribers. The new always-on AI agent can continue working in the background on long-running tasks, marking Google's latest push into autonomous AI assistants.
Google has begun rolling out Gemini Spark in India, introducing an AI agent designed to work continuously in the background instead of waiting for users to type prompts. The rollout started on July 29 and is gradually reaching Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers across the country. The launch is significant because it moves Gemini beyond a chatbot into an AI assistant that can complete tasks over time even after users close their laptops. It also puts Google in direct competition with AI coding and productivity agents from rivals such as Anthropic and OpenAI.
What is Gemini Spark?
Google describes Spark as a 24/7 personal AI agent that works under a user's instructions. Instead of answering a single question, Spark can take on longer tasks, continue working in the background and notify users when the job is complete. The idea is to reduce repetitive work while allowing people to focus on more important tasks. According to Google, Spark is built to handle the "heavy lifting", making Gemini less like a chatbot and more like a digital assistant that works independently.
More than an AI chatbot
Gemini Spark represents Google's broader push into agentic AI systems capable of planning, executing and managing tasks with minimal human intervention. Unlike traditional assistants that require constant prompts, Spark can keep working after a task has been assigned. That makes it useful for research, document preparation, coding workflows, information gathering and other time-consuming activities. The launch also reflects an industry-wide shift from conversational AI to autonomous AI agents that can complete real-world work.
Who can use it?
Gemini Spark is currently rolling out in phases to Google AI Pro and Google AI Ultra subscribers outside the US, including users in India. Google says availability will expand gradually over the coming weeks, meaning some eligible users may receive access before others. With Spark, Google is signalling its ambition to make Gemini a full-time AI assistant rather than just another chatbot. As competition intensifies between Google, OpenAI and Anthropic, always-on AI agents could become the next major battleground in generative AI.
