Google unveiled two new features for its Gemini app on macOS during I/O 2026. The company added a 24/7 personal AI agent called Gemini Spark and a voice‑control interface that lets users dictate tasks. The launch follows the April release of the native Mac app, which a small team built with Antigravity.

Gemini Spark will act as a digital assistant, integrating with Gmail, Docs, Workspace and third‑party services. It can manipulate local files and automate desktop workflows, a first for Gemini on macOS. Subscribers to Google AI Ultra pay $100 a month for beta access on Android, iOS and web, with macOS arriving this summer.

The new voice feature drops a floating pill at the screen’s bottom when users long‑press the function key. Speech turns into precise drafts, reformatting text in real time as it appears at the cursor. Google demonstrated picking files in Finder, dictating an email, and having it auto‑insert into Gmail’s compose window.

Gemini Spark’s integration with local files and the new voice mode promise tighter workflow automation for power users. By turning casual speech into actionable commands, Google equips macOS users with a hands‑free assistant that already leverages the same AI core driving its web and mobile offerings. The feature will land alongside the rest of Gemini’s desktop expansion this summer.
