Google connected its Gemini Spark assistant to Chrome so it can carry out web tasks using a person's own logged-in accounts and saved passwords, with permission. Sensitive steps such as payments are handed back to the person, and the browsing feature starts in the United States only. Access to Spark also opened to Google AI Pro subscribers in over 160 more countries.
What changed
Spark could browse the web but could not act inside a person's logged-in accounts, and access was limited to fewer countries.
What it unlocks
Letting the assistant carry out multi-step web tasks such as booking research or scheduling appointments using saved logins, while handing payments back to the person.
