Google just gave Workspace a 24/7 AI agent that sends emails and books meetings while you sleep
Gmail Live answers inbox questions by voice, Docs Live turns rambling speech into structured documents, and Google Pics lets you edit one element of an image without touching the rest.

Google announcing five Workspace features at once is either confidence or chaos, but Gemini Spark acting on your behalf while you sleep is the one that actually changes what a productivity suite is supposed to do.

At the I/O 2026, Google announced several AI-powered updates for its Workspace apps. The main highlight of the announcement is Gemini Spark, a 24/7 personal AI agent that doesn’t just answer questions but takes actions on your behalf.
It can send emails, add calendar events, and complete tasks across Workspace apps. And before you even ask, it asks before doing a high-stakes task, and you can choose whether you want to enable it or not. It’s coming soon in preview for Workspace business customers in the Gemini app.
Introducing Gemini Spark ✨
It’s your 24/7 personal AI agent that helps you navigate your digital life, taking action on your behalf, and under your direction.
🧠 It runs on Gemini 3.5 and is built on @Antigravity, so it can perform long-running tasks easily in the background.… pic.twitter.com/NX9CCMBGPT
What else is new in Google workspace?
Quite a lot, actually. Three of Google’s most-used Workspace apps are getting voice-based features this summer. Gmail Live lets you search your inbox with your voice, by asking “What’s my flight’s gate number?” and it finds the answer instantly, going through the booking details in your inbox.
Docs Live goes even further, acting as an assistant that organizes your spoken rambles into structured documents. It can also pull the required context from Gmail, Drive, and the web (with your permission). Keep gets a meaningful update: talk, and it converts the transcript into organized notes and lists.
We’re bringing conversational AI to more products 💬
With Docs Live, you’ll be able to create a new doc and edit it — all with your voice. Just speak what’s on your mind, and let Gemini do the rest.

All the three features are coming this summer to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in full, and to Workspace business customers in preview.
What about Google Pics and AI Inbox?
Google Pics is a new image creation/editing tool, built on the Gemini Nano Banana model. Its key feature is object differentiation. Select any element in an image and move, resize, or transform it without touching the rest. It also handles in-photo text editing and translation, collaborative canvases, along with Slides and Drive integration.

Gemini can now make videos, brief your morning, and do digital chores while you sleep
Gemini is now an AI intern that never logs off
Google is giving the Gemini app a massive update, bringing a bunch of nifty changes. The chatbot phase is fading, and the company now wants Gemini to become something closer to a full-time digital assistant.
During Google I/O 2026, the company announced a redesigned Gemini app along with a new model, proactive daily summaries, video tools, and a 24/7 agent called Gemini Spark. Google claims that Gemini has now reached more than 900 million monthly users across 230 countries and more than 70 languages, up from 400 million last year.
Google Search is getting AI agents that will monitor the web for you
Set up an agent once, and Search will notify you when it finds what you're looking for.
Google used its I/O 2026 keynote to announce a major overhaul of Search, introducing AI agents, a redesigned search box, and agentic coding capabilities that can generate custom apps and dashboards on the fly.

Google Pomelli can now build your entire brand from scratch
From zero to a full brand kit and a working website in just a few clicks.
Google I/O 2026 is heavily focusing on allowing users to build things. Alongside the new Gemini 3.5 flash model, a new Antigravity 2.0 IDE, and a new Google AI Studio, the company has also updated Google Pomelli, a tool focused on helping small businesses create their brand identity.
Launched last year through Google Labs, Google says that Pomelli has already helped millions of businesses create professional product shots, social campaigns, and ads. Today, Google is adding a set of new agentic features that take the tool well beyond social media posts.
