At its recent I/O developer conference, Google introduced Gemini Spark as an always-on agent that connects to your personal data, completes online tasks, and automates aspects of your daily interactions. It’s Google’s take on the viral OpenClaw agent that rocked Silicon Valley at the start of 2026. OpenClaw’s early adopters handed their entire lives over to an AI agent for messaging and scheduling automation—sometimes with bot-induced mishaps causing embarrassing results.

The first section was an event overview, listing the exact date, address, and reservation details it pulled from my email. This even included the last four digits of the credit card I used to put down the $50 dep
