Google Ditches Spark Brand, Simplifies Gemini Tasks

Google has made a significant change to its Gemini platform by eliminating the 'Spark' brand and consolidating tasks directly into the main interface.

The update, which is rolling out via server-side push on the web, eliminates the separate Spark silo and introduces an intuitive toggle for Chat or Task beneath the main prompt box.

This change simplifies the experience and makes agentic workflows more accessible. Users can now find their active and completed task threads alongside conversations in the main left sidebar.
