Gemini Spark rolling out Google Photos control for automated editing, sharing, & more

The latest first-party app that Gemini Spark can control is Google Photos. The personal agent can “handle complex, multi-stage workflows” with your library. Available Google Photos actions that Gemini Spark can perform include: Search & curate: Find specific photos and videos by subject, location, date, or event. Ask Gemini for the best shots and to filter duplicates. Edit & create: Quickly enhance photo quality, apply quick fixes, and generate collages or stylized images. Any edits create a new copy that’s saved in Google Photos. Create albums & organize: Create new shared or private albums, and save curated photos to them. Share albums: Add or send links to shared albums in Connected Apps like Gmail, Google Docs, and Messages. Schedule automations: Set up recurring tasks to manage your Google Photos workflows, like automatically creating monthly highlight albums or sorting photos of receipts. Extract text from images: Find specific images and extract text from them. Then summarize or reformat the information in a Google Document, or ask Gemini to complete a task using that information. Users can pair the Google Photos-specific features with Spark capabilities like scheduling for recurring tasks or managing their library in the background. For example: Every weekend, find my top photos of food, build a collage, and add it to a new album called ‘What my camera ate this week’. Another use case is sending information found in an image to other Connected Apps (like Gmail and Workspace): Check my photo of the local summer concert series and cross-reference it with my Google Calendar availability. Which night can I make it to the concert? For a while now, I’ve relied on @GeminiApp and @antigravity agents across a wide range of use cases—spanning creativity, productivity, and analysis. But I’ve always dreamed of having a power agent to help me get the most out of my 143,206 photos and videos. And that day has come!… pic.twitter.com/WbnkYpattQ— shimrit ben-yair (@shimritby) September 3, 2026 Other multi-action prompts include: Find the best 15 photos from our trip to Hawaii last week. Enhance the beach shots, put them into a shared album called ‘Aloha 2026’, and draft an email with the link. Find the best photos and videos from my recent block party and put everything into a new shared album called ‘Summer Block Party’. Draft an email to the neighborhood group with the link. Brighten up my beach shots from my recent vacation and add them to a new album called ‘Beach Therapy’. On the safety front, Gemini Spark creates an image copy before editing, and new albums are private by default. Spark will ask for permission before sharing albums and sending emails. This is rolling out over the coming weeks to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US. FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. More.
