# Google Adds Task Automation and Gmail Tools to Gemini Live

Gemini Live remains free globally and adds Gemini Spark for background workflows, an audio Daily Brief, and cross-app context memory.

- Gemini Spark executes multi-step tasks in the background from natural voice commands, such as turning brainstorms into Google Docs.
- Daily Brief compiles an audio digest combining updates from chats, Gmail, and Google Calendar.
- Voice commands allow users to search senders, summarize unread emails, and archive threads in Gmail.
- Personal Intelligence retains past conversation history and links context across Gmail, Google Photos, Search, and YouTube.
- Individual integrations may require setup, separate subscriptions, or have age restrictions.

## Why it matters

Users can delegate multi-step background workflows and manage their email inbox through voice without opening individual Google Workspace applications.
