Spark now runs your photo library

Gemini Spark can search Google Photos, pick shots, filter duplicates, extract text, and send results into Gmail, Docs, and Calendar — including on a recurring schedule.

Task capacity

Spark can keep up to 15 tasks running at once — a 15× cap versus a single one-off chat.

One-off chat

Concurrent cap

143,206

Photos and videos in the library example cited at launch

18+

Minimum age; English only in the United States

Paid tiers: Google AI Pro and Ultra

Connected apps: Gmail, Docs, Calendar, Messages

A single prompt can chain the loop

1. Search

→

4. Send

Pipe links or extracted text into Gmail, Docs, or Calendar
