Summary
Google is rolling out Chrome integration for Gemini Spark in the US, letting the AI assistant use logged-in accounts and saved passwords to carry out web tasks.
Spark is pitched for errands such as researching flights and starting bookings or scheduling apartment viewings, extending its existing links to Google Workspace apps.
Google said Spark will not complete payments on its own and instead returns checkout to users for review and final approval.
The company also said it has defenses against prompt-injection attacks, though it did not detail the safeguards beyond calling them layered deterministic and probabilistic protections.
The launch comes as Google broadens Spark availability to AI Pro subscribers in more than 160 countries, with additional regions for Chrome browsing still to come.
