## New Features of Gemini Spark

Google added computer-use capabilities to Gemini Spark, integrating it with the Gemini app for Mac. This allows users to automatically complete tasks on their behalf.

## Expansion in the US

Gemini Spark initially started as a limited preview and is now available to AI Ultra subscribers in the US. AI Pro subscribers can also access this feature.

## Global Rollout

Google is rolling out Gemini Spark globally to AI Ultra subscribers. However, the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Nigeria are excluded from this expansion.

## Subscription Costs

Google’s AI Ultra plan starts at $100 per month and offers higher rate limits, additional storage, and other perks. This is a limiting factor for Spark’s accessibility.

## Multi-Platform Support

Gemini Spark is accessible on computers as well as Android, iOS, and the web. Eligible subscribers can see Spark in the sidebar.

## The Future of AI Agents

Gemini Spark offers a great way to explore what an always-on AI agent can do. It saves time by automating repetitive tasks and managing multi-step workflows.
