Google app beta v17.23 reveals 'Gemini Spark,' an always-on AI agent that runs tasks in the background without waiting for prompts — managing inbox decluttering, flight booking, and cross-app workflows by pulling from linked apps, chat history, schedules, and location. Expected to headline Google I/O on May 19. Comes with a warning that it 'may share info or make purchases without asking,' raising questions about autonomous agent safety on consumer devices.
