Additional features include a spoken daily brief merging Gmail and Calendar, hands-free inbox control, and Personal Intelligence that remembers past chats and reads connected apps. Spark requires a Google AI Pro subscription and Daily Brief requires AI Plus. In Europe, Google's Digital Markets Act settlement requires it to let rival assistants on Android reach comparable functionality by July 2027, and the announcement raises questions about compliance with data cross-use rules under Article 5(2), since Search and YouTube are designated core platform services while Gmail and Photos are not. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What new agentic features did Gemini Live add for voice commands? Gemini Live can now pass a spoken instruction to a feature called Spark, which runs multi-step jobs across Docs, Sheets, Drive and the web over multiple days, even with the app closed. It also added a spoken daily brief merging Gmail and Calendar, hands-free inbox control (search, summarize, star, archive, delete), and Personal Intelligence, which remembers past chats and reads connected apps. _daily.dev helps developers track new agentic AI capabilities as assistants gain background task execution._ ### Do I need a paid Google subscription to use Gemini Spark or Daily Brief? Yes, Spark requires a Google AI Pro subscription or higher, and Daily Brief requires AI Plus, meaning the agentic voice features sit behind Google's more expensive subscription tiers rather than being available to free Gemini users. _daily.dev keeps builders informed on which AI features require paid tiers before they commit._ ### When must Google let rival AI assistants match Gemini Live's voice features on Android in the EU? Google's Digital Markets Act settlement with the European Commission requires it to let rival assistants on Android reach comparable functionality, including voice wake commands and in-app actions, by July 2027. Each new capability added to Gemini Live effectively raises the bar competitors must eventually be allowed to reach. _daily.dev tracks regulatory deadlines like this for developers building competing assistant integrations._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Google introduces Gemini Spark, a 24/7 agentic assistant with Gmail integration](https://daily.dev/posts/google-introduces-gemini-spark-a-24-7-agentic-assistant-with-gmail-integration-rbyr9lwtu) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [I put Google’s 24/7 AI assistant Gemini Spark to work, and it’s actually pretty useful](https://daily.dev/posts/i-put-google-s-24-7-ai-assistant-gemini-spark-to-work-and-it-s-actually-pretty-useful-jcr0pbyc3) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#tech-news](https://daily.dev/tags/tech-news), [#google](https://daily.dev/tags/google), [#ai-agents](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-agents), [#google-gemini](https://daily.dev/tags/google-gemini) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/gemini-live-gains-agentic-tasks-voice-inbox-control-and-personal-intelligence-zoxxcygzj) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Gemini Live gains agentic tasks, voice inbox control and personal intelligence","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/gemini-live-gains-agentic-tasks-voice-inbox-control-and-personal-intelligence-zoxxcygzj","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/gemini-live-gains-agentic-tasks-voice-inbox-control-and-personal-intelligence-zoxxcygzj"},"datePublished":"2026-08-26T22:20:26.730Z","dateModified":"2026-08-26T22:21:27.160Z","description":"Gemini Live now supports agentic tasks via a feature called Spark, which can run multi-step jobs across Docs, Sheets, Drive and the web over multiple days...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/ed7f5d87e097afaad17e6209df88d4d6?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/ed7f5d87e097afaad17e6209df88d4d6?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Next Web","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Next Web","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/tnw","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/gemini-live-gains-agentic-tasks-voice-inbox-control-and-personal-intelligence-zoxxcygzj","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":1},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"tech-news,google,ai-agents,google-gemini","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Next Web","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/tnw"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Gemini Live gains agentic tasks, voice inbox control and personal intelligence"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/gemini-live-gains-agentic-tasks-voice-inbox-control-and-personal-intelligence-zoxxcygzj#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What new agentic features did Gemini Live add for voice commands?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Gemini Live can now pass a spoken instruction to a feature called Spark, which runs multi-step jobs across Docs, Sheets, Drive and the web over multiple days, even with the app closed.
