Google Rolls Out Gemini Spark to Mac, Bringing AI-Powered File Automation to Desktop
Summary
Google rolls out Gemini Spark to macOS, enabling AI-powered local file automation, folder organization, and document building on desktop — with remote triggering from a phone coming soon — but access requires a Google AI Ultra subscription starting at $99 per month.
Key Points
- Gemini Spark is now rolling out to the macOS app, enabling the AI agent to handle local file tasks and automate desktop workflows, including organizing folders and building documents from local files.
- The update, available in version 1.80.15.516, introduces a new Spark tab in the sidebar, customizable connected folders, schedule and skill management, and settings to keep the Mac awake during tasks — but requires a Google AI Ultra subscription at $99+ per month.
- A future update is coming soon that will allow users to trigger Gemini Spark tasks on their Mac remotely from a phone or the web, enabling multi-step automation like locating files and sending emails while away from the computer.
