Your Google Photos library is getting a more hands-on Gemini assistant

Google is integrating its AI agent, Gemini Spark, with Google Photos. This allows Gemini Spark to perform complex, multi-stage workflows within the photo library. According to 9to5Google, users can pair Google Photos-specific features with Spark capabilities, such as scheduling recurring tasks or managing their library in the background. For example, Gemini Spark can find top photos of food, build a collage, and add it to a new album.

Gemini Spark can also handle tasks like sending information found in an image to other connected apps, such as Gmail and Workspace. The AI agent creates an image copy before editing and new albums are private by default. Spark will ask for permission before sharing albums and sending emails. This feature is rolling out to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the US over the coming weeks, as reported by 9to5Google.

Gemini Spark is part of Google's broader AI offerings, which include the recently released Gemini 3.8 Flash model, reported by Fortune. Additionally, UAE university students aged 18 and over can get Google AI Plus free for one year, with Gemini AI tools and 400GB storage, as reported by Arabian Business.
