The macOS launch allows Gemini Spark to better compete with desktop AI agents like Claude Desktop, Microsoft’s Copilot, OpenClaw, and others, as it will be able to work with files on the computer, and later, handle remote tasks. Though not available at launch, Google says users will “soon” be able to assign multi-step tasks to Spark on their phones, such as calling up the desktop agent to pull information from a file on their Mac. In the meantime, you can use Spark to sort and organize files, or use files on your computer as the source for a new Google Workspace doc or spreadsheet. For instance, Google suggests Spark can turn invoices on your computer into a budgeting worksheet. Gemini Spark for macOS (beta) is available only to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the U.S. for the time being.
