From PC Mag: Gemini Spark was one of the most exciting announcements at I/O 2026, unveiling what Google calls a “24/7 personal agent," but until now, it has been locked to an expensive subscription tier. Now, Google is allowing anyone in the US with an AI Pro subscription to use Gemini Spark.
The feature is rolling out in the US, with a promise to be available in other countries “soon." However, it won’t be coming to the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, Switzerland, or Nigeria, according to Google’s documentation.
Gemini's agentic Spark tools launched exclusively on the expensive $99.99-per-month AI Ultra plan, but they're now available to those paying $19.99 per month for the AI Pro tier. Spark isn't yet available to free users or to those on an AI Plus subscription for $7.99 a month, and it's unclear whether Spark will ever be available on either service.
Spark allows Gemini AI to complete tasks in the background with minimal input from you, meaning you can set it up to work on your behalf. You can instruct it to complete recurring tasks and triggers, such as running the same project on a regular schedule, or teach it new skills to repeat regular tasks without your involvement.
