Google I/O 2026 This story is part of our complete Google I/O coverage Updated less than 4 minutes ago At the I/O 2026 , Google announced several AI-powered updates for its Workspace apps.
The main highlight of the announcement is Gemini Spark, a 24/7 personal AI agent that doesn’t just answer questions but takes actions on your behalf. It can send emails, add calendar events, and complete tasks across Workspace apps. And before you even ask, it asks before doing a high-stakes task, and you can choose whether you want to enable it or not. It’s coming soon in preview for Workspace business customers in the Gemini app.
What else is new in Google workspace? Quite a lot, actually. Three of Google’s most-used Workspace apps are getting voice-based features this summer. Gmail Live lets you search your inbox with your voice, by asking “What’s my flight’s gate number?
” and it finds the answer instantly, going through the booking details in your inbox.

It can also pull the required context from Gmail, Drive, and the web . Keep gets a meaningful update: talk, and it converts the transcript into organized notes and lists.
All the three features are coming this summer to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in full, and to Workspace business customers in preview. What about Google Pics and AI Inbox? Google Pics is a new image creation/editing tool, built on the Gemini Nano Banana model. Its key feature is object differentiation.
