Google is expanding access to Gemini Spark, an AI agent that can keep working on tasks in the background, even when you are not at the screen yourself. According to several media outlets, it is now rolling out in over 160 countries, and India is part of the rollout.
What is Gemini Spark?
Spark was presented at Google I/O on May 19, 2026, as a personal AI agent that runs around the clock in Google's cloud. An agent is an AI that does not just answer questions but carries out tasks for you itself. In India, it is described among other things as help across apps such as Gmail, Docs and Sheets.
Initially, Spark was only for subscribers to the most expensive plan, Google AI Ultra, and only in the US. On July 30, 2026, Google announced that it is also coming to Google AI Pro subscribers. Pro costs about $20 a month.
Who gets access?
The rollout is gradual, so not everyone gets access at the same time. Free users and subscribers to the cheapest plan, Google AI Plus (about $5 a month), are not included.
Who is excluded?
Spark is not available in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK, Switzerland and Nigeria. Denmark is part of the EEA, so Danish users cannot count on getting access in this first wave.
Some of the media we have found link the exclusion to European regulation such as the AI Act and the GDPR data protection rules. That is the media's explanation, and we have not found an official reason from Google in the sources we have seen.
What does it mean for you?
If you live in Denmark, you basically cannot use Spark yet, whether you pay for Pro or Ultra. No date has been found for when Europe might get access. It is an example of how new AI features often arrive later in Europe than in the rest of the world.
What it means for you
If you live in Denmark, you cannot use Gemini Spark yet, even if you pay for Google AI Pro or Ultra. So it is not something you should upgrade your subscription to get. If you need help getting on top of email and documents, you will have to make do in the meantime with the AI tools you already have access to. If you travel or live somewhere outside the EEA, however, Spark may be relevant for you if you have Pro or Ultra.
