Gemini Spark, Google’s AI agent that can help with aspects of your digital life, is now available on Mac.

The company on Wednesday said Spark is being added to the existing Gemini desktop app, as well as several updates and new features, including the ability to stay up to date on topics in real time, and connect to more apps like Google Tasks and Google Keep.

The macOS launch allows Gemini Spark to better compete with desktop AI agents like Claude Desktop, Microsoft’s Copilot, OpenClaw, and others, as it will be able to work with files on the computer, and later, handle remote tasks.

Though not available at launch, Google says users will “soon” be able to assign multi-step tasks to Spark on their phones, such as calling up the desktop agent to pull information from a file on their Mac.

In the meantime, you can use Spark to sort and organize files, or use files on your computer as the source for a new Google Workspace doc or spreadsheet. For instance, Google suggests Spark can turn invoices on your computer into a budgeting worksheet.

Gemini Spark for macOS (beta) is available only to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. for the time being.

When Spark was launched last month, we specifically called out the lack of an integration with Keep, Google’s notes app, as a big point of frustration during our early tests. It makes sense that short lists and other notes belong in apps like Google Keep, not in Google Docs, which seems like overkill for something like a simple vacation packing list.

Clearly we weren’t the only ones to suggest this, as Google has now added support for Tasks and Keep. Spark now also integrates with other third-party apps, including Canva, Dropbox, Instacart, OpenTable, and Zillow Rentals.

That will allow Spark to perform all sorts of tasks, like reserving tables, ordering weekly groceries, designing flyers, or booking apartment tours.

In addition, Gemini Spark can now track topics and react to events in real time, which will improve its performance for tasks that involve things like tracking sports scores, stock movements, or breaking news. Plus, it means Spark will be able to keep an eye on other areas, like social media, blogs, online shopping and weather.

Plus, Google says it’s rolling out support for custom Model Context Protocol (MCP), which will allow you to connect your favorite apps directly into Spark to build an assistant better tailored to your needs.
