Gemini Spark screenshots reveal an AI that actually gets things done on its own

Credit: Lucas Gouveia / Android Police Published May 15, 2026, 10:29 AM EDT I've been covering Android and other mobile technology for close to ten years now, with a specific interest in phone accessories, e-readers, and what makes each individual phone different from another. I delight in looking at the phone market from as many angles as possible, and while my opinions may be odd, at times, they're always from the heart as much as the head. I have a background in the mobile accessories world, which explains my odd enthusiasm for cases and things that clip onto smartphones. I worked for Digital Trends from 2017 to 2025.

Essentially a semi-autonomous agent in the vein of Claude's Cowork, Gemini Spark looks like it's in close to a finished state, and is likely to be shown off at Google I/O next week. Gemini is coming to eat Claude's lunch We got our first look at Gemini Spark yesterday, as reported by Android Authority. However, then it was nothing but a name on an onboarding screen. Today, however, Spark has been revealed in all its glory as exactly what we'd assumed it was — an AI agent that can get on with tasks without continual prompting. Screenshots of Spark's capabilities have been posted on X (formerly Twitter) by leakers and testers, and they show some of the agent's pre-built capabilities, as well as its skill creation menus. The option to access Spark seems to live in Gemini's hamburger menu opened in the top-left of the app, and when first booted up, it shows a few pre-built ways it can help you out. These include the ability to declutter your email inbox by unsubscribing from unread newsletters or lists, summarizing anything that sounds helpful, as well as monitoring for pre-briefs before meetings, and creating a daily news digest for your interests. You can also create a new skill by supplying it with instructions, while other screenshots show Spark in action. It seems as if Spark will be able to grab information from multiple apps at once, bringing it all together. As you might expect, Google Workspace apps are front and center in a lot of the screenshots, but it's possible it will work with third-party apps given time.

However, it is expected to be able to control browsers, like Chrome. It's very likely that Spark will be a big part of Google's I/O keynote next week, so tune in to see what Google has to say about its new AI agent.
