Summary
Google rolled out new Gemini Spark upgrades that let the personal agent open and edit Google Docs and handle more actions across Workspace.
Workspace additions include editing private and shared spreadsheets, presentations and documents, reading comments, adding images, and refining files through the Canvas panel.
Spark is now more than 50% faster, with parallel source retrieval aimed at shortening long-running tasks and enhanced notifications giving more detail when user input is needed.
Google also stopped sending mobile alerts when users are already active in a Spark thread on the Gemini web app.
Gemini Spark is now reaching Google AI Ultra subscribers in supported Gemini Apps markets, excluding the EEA, Nigeria, Switzerland and the UK, while AI Pro access was teased for later.
