Gemini Spark macOS launch and app integrations

Key points

• 1

  MacOS desktop automation: Gemini Spark now works on macOS to handle file sorting and spreadsheet creation directly from your desktop. For example, you can ask it to sort PDFs in Downloads into folders or generate a budget spreadsheet using your saved invoices. This eliminates manual work by connecting your desktop files with Google Workspace, and requires only the files you explicitly grant permission to access. The feature is available in Beta for Google AI Ultra subscribers aged 18+ in the US starting today, with remote task execution coming soon to let you assign actions like finding sales reports from your phone while away.

  Expanded app integrations: Gemini Spark now connects with Google Tasks, Google Keep, Canva, Dropbox, Instacart, OpenTable, and Zillow Rentals. You can scan brain-dumps in Keep to create action items in Tasks, design flyers in Canva, order groceries via Instacart, or reserve apartments through Zillow Rentals—all without leaving Spark. These integrations roll out to macOS in coming weeks after initial web and mobile availability, and include custom Model Context Protocol support for building tailored app connections.

  Real-time topic tracking: Gemini Spark now provides instant updates on news, sports, finance, and weather without manual refreshing. For instance, it delivers soccer match highlights immediately after a game ends or sends financial reports when stocks hit thresholds. This real-time tracking covers blogs, social media, email, and specific domains, helping you stay informed without constant browser checks—starting today with gradual rollout across supported services.
