Google brings Gemini Spark to Mac — and adds Tasks, Keep, and MCP
google released gemini spark for mac, integrating with tasks, keep, and real-time data to rival claude desktop in the os-native agent wars.
google launched gemini spark for macos, allowing its ai assistant to access local files and perform tasks like sorting invoices or creating spreadsheets directly on the computer. the update adds support for google tasks and keep, alongside third-party integrations for services like instacart and zillow, addressing a major gap in its previous feature set. spark also introduced real-time topic monitoring for sports and finance and announced support for the model context protocol (mcp) to let users build custom agent workflows. this signals google's intent to compete aggressively with openai and anthropic in the desktop agent space, though features like cross-device task delegation remain in development.
