Google Expands Gemini AI Lineup With Spark, Omni and Enterprise-Focused Tools

Google used its annual I/O developer conference to unveil a new wave of Gemini AI products, as the company ramps up efforts to compete with rivals including OpenAI and Anthropic in the rapidly expanding AI market. The announcements included new AI models and tools such as Gemini 3.5 Flash, Gemini Spark, and Gemini Omni, alongside deeper AI integration across Google’s products and services.

At the center of the launch was Gemini 3.5 Flash, a lightweight AI model focused on speed, automation, and coding-related workloads. Google said the model is designed to deliver high-level AI performance at a lower cost than competing systems, positioning it as a more affordable option for enterprise deployments. Reuters reported that Google claims the model can run at roughly half — and in some cases one-third — the cost of comparable AI models.

Google also introduced Gemini Spark, an AI assistant designed to function more proactively across a user’s digital ecosystem. According to the company, Spark can connect data and workflows across Google services to help users manage tasks, schedules, reports, and communications. The feature is expected to roll out initially to Google AI Ultra subscribers in the United States.

Another major announcement was Gemini Omni, a new family of multimodal AI models focused on video generation and editing. Unlike earlier systems that primarily relied on text prompts, Gemini Omni can work with combinations of text, images, audio, and video inputs to generate or modify video content through conversational commands.

Google said Omni Flash, the first model in the Gemini Omni family, can currently generate video and audio clips up to 10 seconds long, with plans to expand those capabilities over time. The tool is expected to integrate with the Gemini app, Google Flow, and YouTube Shorts.

The announcements reflect Google’s broader strategy to push AI deeper into its ecosystem. During the event, the company showcased AI integrations across Search, Gmail, Chrome, YouTube, Android, and Workspace products. Reuters reported that Gemini now has around 900 million monthly users, while Google’s AI Overviews in Search are being used by billions globally.

Google also used the conference to highlight new AI-powered smart glasses developed with partners including Samsung, Warby Parker, and Gentle Monster. The glasses are expected to include live translation, voice assistance, and augmented reality features.

The updates come as competition in the AI sector continues to intensify, with major technology companies racing to commercialize agentic AI systems that can autonomously perform tasks, generate content, and interact across software platforms.
