Gemini’s new AI agent is about as good as Google’s demo

A Verge reviewer tested Google’s Gemini Spark AI agent on real-life tasks modeled after Google I/O demos.

Spark found emails, spreadsheets, and spending totals, and even drafted a personalized email with useful accuracy.

It also helped with planning by creating docs, spreadsheets, and calendar reminders, though some steps were clumsy or off.

The review suggests strong multi-step automation across Google apps, but raises concerns about cost, privacy, and broad data access.
