Google broadens Gemini Spark AI access for paid Workspace subscribers

Google has expanded access to its Gemini Spark agentic AI assistant, extending availability to a broader segment of its paid subscriber base. The service, which is powered by the Gemini 3.5 model, was originally announced at the company’s I/O developer conference earlier this year. This latest rollout makes the assistant accessible to Google AI Pro users in the United States who pay $20 a month, as well as globally to Google AI Ultra subscribers paying between $100 and $200 a month.

Despite the expansion, free users remain excluded from accessing the tool. Furthermore, geographic restrictions apply to the global rollout. Users located in the European Economic Area, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Nigeria are not included in this phase of availability. It remains unclear whether these exclusions are driven by regulatory considerations, infrastructure limitations, or other operational factors.

The integration of Gemini Spark is designed to function as an agentic tool within Google Workspace. Users can access the assistant via the Spark page, accessible through the desktop sidebar or the mobile menu. From this interface, users can assign specific tasks to the AI, which operates by interpreting natural language commands to automate workflows across the suite.

Key functionalities include the ability to check emails and calendar schedules to prioritise daily tasks. The assistant can also automatically generate draft responses for emails from specific senders and summarise lengthy email threads. Additionally, Spark can create detailed reports in Google Docs by synthesising information from meeting notes and email correspondence.

While the capabilities are extensive, users accessing the service may need to verify the extent of local language support in their respective regions. For a comprehensive list of supported tasks and features, Google directs users to its official support pages.
