Google has its own OpenClaw: meet Gemini Spark

Google has jumped on the omnipresent virtual assistant bandwagon with Gemini Spark. This is Mountain View's answer to the Clawdbot/OpenClaw phenomenon — an AI agent that stays active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

With Gemini Spark, Google leverages two of its newest technologies: Gemini 3.5 Flash AI and the renewed version of Antigravity. This way, the California company claims the agent can not only remain in constant background execution but also complete long-running tasks.

One of the most interesting elements of Gemini Spark is that it "lives" inside the Gemini app. But it's not a locally available function on mobile devices or computers. The platform runs on virtual machines hosted on Google Cloud, enabling permanent availability. This is where Google can show its strength: it has its own cloud infrastructure and can connect it to its entire services suite — Gmail, Google Docs, and more — allowing the agent to access your email inbox, documents or calendar to complete automated actions.

But it doesn't stop there. Gemini Spark can also connect to third-party applications using the MCP protocol. This is how it will work with Canva, Instacart, DoorDash, Uber, Spotify and more platforms.

Future plans

Initially, this feature will be available in the Gemini mobile app, but Google plans to implement it in Chrome starting this summer, handling agentic navigation tasks. It will also come to the Gemini app for macOS, where it can access files stored on local media, enabling even desktop automation.

Finally, Google will implement a new interface on Android called Android Halo, from which users can interact with Gemini Spark and other agents to track their actions.

Daily Brief: the complementary morning summary tool

Gemini Spark isn't the only AI agent Google introduced during the I/O 2026 keynote. They also presented Daily Brief, a tool that extracts information from all connected services to generate a morning summary of the most relevant items: meetings, events, trips and other commitments, ordered by priority or urgency.

Availability

Gemini Spark will first be available as a beta for Google AI Ultra plan subscribers in the United States starting next week. Daily Brief is being enabled today for customers on AI Plus, Pro and Ultra plans, also limited to the US for now.
