Let me show you how Spark works with some examples from my personal life. So here we are. We have the new Gemini app open. It's been completely redesigned. We'll talk about that later in the show. And I want to take you into Spark here. And what you can see immediately is a dashboard with all the different tasks that I have going on in the background. It allows you to check in on these things. And I'll paste in a task right off the bat. This is a pretty straightforward example, but it's so useful.
Help me draft an email to the team. Compile everything about our recent Gemini Live launches and wins from the last week. Use /ghostwriter. So there's a few things happening here. Compile everything. This goes across Docs. Email your chats and grabs the most important information that you need for this update. It also is going to use all of the stuff you see in the time period of the last week with this /ghostwriter. That's a personal skill that I've written. So the email sounds like me. And what's great is that with Spark, you
can upload your favorite skills you find online. So we're going to let this run in the background. You can see it's already started doing various tool calls. And I'm going to switch over to another one from our personal life. We're planning a big block party and you can see here this is a pretty complex prompt. We want help grabbing all the RSVPs. Keep a list of who's bringing what. Remember to email those neighbors who haven't signed up yet. And what's amazing here is spark will go through step by step, look at all these steps all the time.
It saves you going through. And again work across the various skills and apps that you have. And what's really amazing is it'll break it down and also be able to generate files for you. So the first one here, this is a live RSVP tracker right in Google Sheets. You can see that it shows who's confirmed and who hasn't. What's amazing about this is it'll actually update because it's connected to Gmail. So when L Thompson wrote eight RSVPs, it'll update, which is pretty amazing. The other thing is it keeps track of all the different guests, as well as sending follow up reminders to who hasn't signed up yet. So again, this will happen.
It'll create the drafts and under my control I can send them. And then finally, what the prompt did is it created a hype deck for the block party. And you can see creates right in Google Slides, perfectly integrated. And you can see it even pulls in things like our giant bounce house that's going to be in the cul-de-sac. Now, all of this is happening in the background and under my control. And what's amazing is Gemini can even go a step further and pull out things like your neighborhood homeowners association won't let you set this up before Friday afternoon at June fifth. That's pulling from a file in my Google Drive, so it's incredibly helpful about how it pulls it all together.
Now that spark working on a laptop. Spark is also amazing on the Go and it works across both Android and iPhone. So here you can see on my phone here, I'll open it up and I can go into Spark. You see both of the tasks we just went through they sync across all your devices, which is so helpful. And spark is amazing at just brain dumping things on your mind. If you're super busy, it's almost. You can just throw tasks over your shoulder, sparkle, catch them, and then run with them. So watch this. Start a few threads for me.
The first one. Find all the upcoming meetings with Sundar and turn them all hot pink so I don't miss them. The second one last night I met our new neighbor, John. Write a note to him and his family. Invite them to our block party because they weren't on our list originally. The third one create a document with the top things my wife and I need to do for the kids before the end of the school year. Categorize it by deadline and priority. Make it easy to digest. I don't want to miss anything. All right. So we'll send that in. And you can see at the speed of my voice, it's taking that one task, and it will capture all of that context as fast as I can talk.
It starts out as a single thread here and in the background. It's actually going to go through and break those down into individual tasks. Now I can just put my phone away and get on with my day, and Spark works in the background for me. We'll check in later, see how it's doing. You can see this is one of the first times we've been able to put a phone down and let it keep working on the I/O stage.
It's great because we're prioritizing safety. We're rolling out Gemini Spark deliberately to trusted testers this week and as a beta for us Google AI Ultra subscribers next week. We want this new type help to be in as many hands as possible. So to do that, we're introducing a new Ultra plan for $100 a month. And for those of you that need maximum limits, we're dropping the price for our top tier Ultra plan from $250 a month to $200 a month. And there's so much more to come later this summer.
Gemini Spark will operate directly within Chrome, acting as your agentic browser across the web. It can take action on your tasks under your direction. We're also building a dedicated home base for your agents on your phone, Android Halo, which is coming later this year. As Sundar said, we've entered a new agentic era across Google and we can't wait to see what you're going to build with it. You'll remember at the beginning of the show we sent a few tasks off, so let's go check in on them, see how they've completed, and you'll remember when I did this earlier, I did it from the phone. So we're going to actually pull it up on the laptop
to show how it syncs across. And if I open up your eyes and the laptop, you can see it subdivided those three tasks right here 1, 2, 3. And it's actually got a really nice feature. There are certain tasks it'll actually ask for your input. So you can approve it. So it doesn't just go off and do things you don't want. But I'll check in this one here. This is our school year planning checklist and I asked it, remember, to create a doc of all the things I didn't want to forget between now and the end of the year. And so I'll open this one up. And what's amazing about it takes advantage
of all the Google Docs formatting, so I can immediately click in and see the checklist here for our various kids, all subdivided like this. And easily to go one by one. The date, the activity, the color coding all integrated in one spot. Pretty incredible how much time this can save. Now, what comes across all of these cases is that we want to make agents easy to use and safe and secure. As a reminder, sparks are going to start rolling out to trusted testers this week, and we're planning to roll it out as a beta to Google AI Ultra subscribers next week in the US.
We'll be bringing a version of Spark also to Gemini Workspace to Workspace as well as Gemini enterprise. And this is just the beginning. We've got a packed roadmap of features we'll be shipping throughout the summer. It's going to be amazing. I'm really excited about the MCP integrations that's going to enable Spark to handle so many tasks in ways that are even more proactive and powerful. Imagine Spark will be able to look ahead on your calendar and see that you're on snack duty for your kid's tee ball game on Saturday.
It can go ahead and proactively set up your Instacart order on its own. So you don't forget those snacks. And it'll even remember to pick snacks that don't have nuts in them.
