Google Announced Gemini Spark, But Left Out an Uncomfortable Warning

TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Google unveiled Gemini Spark at I/O 2026 as a cloud-based AI agent, positioning it as a major step toward more capable assistant features.
Hidden Google App strings suggest the agent may be able to make purchases without asking first, raising questions about user authorization and safety.
The code also indicates Ultra subscribers could still hit reset-based usage limits, with no clear top-up option available.
The findings contrast with Google’s public messaging about safe, user-approved AI actions and have sparked concern among paying users.
