Gemini Spark, Google’s AI agent that can help you with aspects of your digital life, is now available on Mac.
The company on Wednesday. saying Spark is being added to the existing Gemini desktop app, as well as several new updates and features, including the ability to stay up to date on topics in real time and connect to more apps like Google Tasks and Google Keep.
The release of macOS allows Gemini Spark to better compete with desktop AI agents like Claude Desktop, Microsoft’s Copilot, OpenClaw, and others, as it will be able to work with files on the computer and subsequently handle remote tasks.
Although it’s not available at launch, Google says users will “soon” be able to assign multi-step tasks to Spark on their phones, such as calling the desktop agent to extract information from a file on their Mac.
In the meantime, you can use Spark to sort and organize files, or use files on your computer as a source for a new Google Workspace document or spreadsheet. For example, Google suggests that Spark can turn invoices on your computer into a budget worksheet.
Gemini Spark for macOS (beta) is available only to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US at the moment.
When Spark launched last month, specifically mentioned the lack of integration with KeepGoogle Notes app, as a big point of frustration during our first tests. It makes sense that short lists and other notes belong in apps like Google Keep, not Google Docs, which seems overkill for something like a simple vacation packing list.
We clearly weren’t the only ones to suggest this, as Google has now added support for Tasks and Keep. Spark now also integrates with other third-party apps, including Canva, Dropbox, Instacart, OpenTable, and Zillow Rentals.
That will allow Spark to perform all kinds of tasks, such as reserving tables, ordering weekly food, designing brochures, or booking apartment tours.
Additionally, Gemini Spark can now track topics and react to events in real time, which will improve its performance for tasks that involve things like tracking sports scores, stock market movements, or breaking news. Plus, it means Spark will be able to keep an eye on other areas, such as social media, blogging, online shopping, and the weather.
Additionally, Google says it is rolling out support for custom Model Context Protocol (MCP), which will let you connect your favorite apps directly to Spark to create an assistant that better suits your needs.
