Summary

  • $20-a-month Google AI Pro subscribers in the US can now access Gemini Spark, while AI Ultra users are getting the assistant in more markets worldwide.
  • Spark still excludes free users and is not rolling out to Ultra subscribers in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the UK and Nigeria.
  • Gemini 3.5 powers the agentic assistant, which is built into Google Workspace and can handle recurring tasks such as prioritizing emails and calendars, drafting replies and summarizing threads.
  • Google first brought Spark to US AI Pro users after launching it with AI Ultra in May, and this expansion extends that push beyond the initial rollout.
