Gemini Spark brings photo selection, edits and albums into one task
Google connects Photos to Spark: one request can select trip photos, adjust images, create an album and draft an email with its link.
Connect photo tasks in one request
Google’s travel example combines choosing photos, adjusting images, creating an album and drafting an email with its link. Another example reads dates from a concert poster and checks Google Calendar for a free evening.
What requires connection and confirmation
Google Photos must be connected first. Edits preserve originals and albums start private; sharing or sending email requires user confirmation. The announced gradual rollout covers eligible adult Spark users in supported US regions, in English.
