Google’s artificial intelligence agent, Gemini Spark, now has broader availability for users. The new feature, announced on July 24, 2026, comes with the condition that the service, designed to perform tasks and monitor activities in the background, will not be offered free of charge. The expansion reinforces the technology giant’s strategy of monetizing its advanced AI tools, directing them to users looking to optimize productivity.
Plans and subscriptions to use Gemini Spark
For users located in the United States, Gemini Spark is accessible through the Google AI Pro plan, which has a monthly cost of US$20. Globally, access to the tool requires a Google AI Ultra subscription, which starts at US$100, varying depending on the market. This distinction in prices and plans highlights the market segmentation that Google is adopting for its AI services.

How Google’s artificial intelligence agent works
Based on Gemini 3.5 technology, Spark is designed to operate autonomously and discreetly. Its main function is to act as a digital assistant in the background, organizing information and offering daily summaries. The tool can analyze data from calendars, documents, notes and email inboxes, transforming a significant amount of information into actionable insights and reminders. For professionals and companies, this represents an advance in time management and the automation of routine processes, freeing up hours for more strategic tasks.
Countries with restricted access to new technology
Despite the expansion, some regions still do not have access to Gemini Spark. Users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Nigeria are among those who are currently unable to use Google’s AI agent. The company did not detail the specific reasons for these restrictions, but it is common for global technology launches to face different regulations and implementation deadlines.
Next steps in AI service expansion
Support documents released by Google indicate that the company is working to accelerate the availability of Gemini Spark. Access is expected to be quickly expanded to more users and companies in the coming weeks. This progression shows Google’s commitment to solidifying its position in the artificial intelligence market, especially in the autonomous agents segment that promises to transform the way individuals and organizations manage their digital routines.
