Gemini Spark gains control over Google Photos libraries

Google is expanding its Gemini Spark AI agent into Google Photos, giving eligible users a way to manage their libraries through natural-language instructions.

Spark can search photographs and videos, select preferred images, identify duplicates, create albums and make edited copies. Users can also ask it to build collages, extract text from images, or carry out tasks across connected Google services.

The agent can handle multi-stage requests. Google says a user could ask it to find photographs from a trip, improve selected images, place them in an album and prepare a message containing a link.

Original photographs are not overwritten when Spark makes edits, Google says. New albums remain private by default, while sharing albums and sending emails require confirmation for some actions.

The Google Photos integration is being introduced gradually to eligible Gemini Spark users aged 18 and over in the United States. It is currently limited to English.
