Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Google just announced Gemini Spark at Google I/O 2026, and it might be the most genuinely useful AI feature the company has ever shown off. Unlike most AI tools that wait on you, Gemini Spark takes a task and runs with it, handling multiple steps in the background without you having to babysit it. The biggest benefit of Gemini Spark is that it runs on dedicated virtual machines, so once you assign a task to it, you don’t have to keep your laptop or computer open.
