🤖 Google Just Announced a 24/7 Personal AI Agent ... and It Works While You Sleep

👑

🔥

Last week at Google I/O, they announced something called Gemini Spark ... and this one is worth paying attention to.

Spark is a personal AI agent that lives inside the Gemini app. But unlike a normal chatbot, it doesn't stop when you close your laptop. You give it a task, and it keeps working in the background ... even when your computer is off.

Here's what caught my eye:

It connects directly to Gmail, Docs, and Slides ... so it can actually read your emails, summarise threads, and pull out deadlines without you doing anything
You can set it to do recurring tasks ... like checking your inbox for something specific every day or flagging overdue items
It asks permission before doing anything high-stakes like sending an email or spending money
It's rolling out to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the US first, with a desktop version coming this summer

My honest take? This is where AI is heading. Not just answering questions when you ask ... but doing things for you in the background, on a schedule, across your apps. For accountants using Google Workspace, that's a big deal.

We're still early days, but this is the kind of shift that will change how firms work over the next year or two.

Have you tried any AI agents that actually do tasks for you (not just answer questions)? Or does the idea of AI working in the background make you nervous? I'd love to hear your take 👇
