Google is rolling out a major update to the Gemini app, introducing new agentic features, a redesigned interface, and expanded video generation tools as the company pushes Gemini beyond a chatbot into a more proactive AI assistant.
The update comes as Gemini reaches more than 900 million monthly users across 230 countries and more than 70 languages, up from 400 million users last year, according to Google’s announcement. The company said the new release includes Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini Omni, Daily Brief, Gemini Spark, a new macOS app, and a redesigned interface called Neural Expressive.
Gemini Spark is the biggest shift in the update. Google described Spark as a 24/7 personal AI agent that can work in the background across Gmail, Docs, Slides, and other Workspace tools, even when a user closes a laptop or locks a phone. The agent can handle recurring tasks, organize information from emails, create project documents, and draft follow up messages under user direction.
Spark is designed to move Gemini from a reactive assistant into an always on agent that can keep working in the background, with beta access planned for US based Google AI Ultra subscribers next week.
Google also introduced Daily Brief, a personalized morning digest that pulls from connected apps such as Gmail and Calendar. The feature is designed to surface urgent updates, upcoming events, and suggested next steps, with users able to refine the brief over time through feedback. Daily Brief begins rolling out to Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers in the US.
The company also launched Gemini Omni, a model that turns text, image, and video prompts into high quality video outputs. Google said Omni can support conversational video editing, background swaps, cinematic zooms, templates, and custom AI avatars. The model begins rolling out globally to Google AI Plus, Pro, and Ultra subscribers.
Gemini Omni is part of Google’s broader push to make Gemini more multimodal, with video generation, richer response formats, and deeper app integration becoming central to the product.
Google is also redesigning Gemini through Neural Expressive, a new interface system with fluid animations, brighter visuals, updated typography, haptic feedback, and deeper integration of Gemini Live.
The company said users will be able to move between text and live voice conversation more easily, while Gemini responses will become more visual through images, timelines, narrated videos, and dynamic graphics.
The update also expands Gemini’s desktop ambitions. Google said its macOS app is available now, with Spark integration and new voice features planned for later this summer. Those updates will allow Gemini to help with local files, automate desktop workflows, and turn free flowing speech into cleaner drafts using screen context.
The rollout underscores Google’s broader push to make Gemini a universal assistant that can act across apps, files, media, and daily workflows. Spark will first roll out to trusted testers this week, while a beta for US Google AI Ultra subscribers is planned for next week.
