Google has expanded Gemini Spark with a new Google Photos integration, giving its AI agent more control over users’ photo and video libraries.
With the new feature, Gemini Spark can perform several Google Photos tasks from a single prompt. Instead of manually searching through hundreds or thousands of photos, users can ask the AI to find specific pictures, organize them into albums, edit images, remove duplicate results, and select some of the best shots from an event or trip.
Spark can also enhance photos, apply quick edits, create collages and build highlight videos. Edited images are saved as new copies, helping users keep their original photos unchanged.
One of the more useful parts of the update is Spark’s ability to complete multiple actions as part of the same request. For example, a user could ask Gemini to find the best photos from a recent vacation, improve selected images, create a shared album and prepare the album for sharing.
The AI can also use information stored inside photos. Spark can extract text from screenshots, receipts, posters and other images. That information can then be used with connected Google services to complete additional tasks.
For example, information found in a photo of an event flyer could be used as part of a wider workflow instead of requiring the user to manually copy dates, names or other details.
Gemini Spark can also perform recurring Google Photos tasks. Users could ask the AI to regularly create highlight albums, organize certain types of photos or collect selected pictures into shared albums. This turns the feature into more than a simple photo search tool, as it can continue handling selected photo-management jobs automatically.
To use the feature, users need to connect Google Photos with Gemini and then access Spark through the Gemini app or web experience.
The Google Photos integration is being introduced gradually, so it may not appear immediately for every eligible account. The initial rollout is available in English for eligible users aged 18 or older in the United States, including supported Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers.
The update shows Google’s wider push to turn Gemini from a chatbot into an AI agent that can take actions across its services. For people with large photo libraries, the Google Photos connection could make everyday tasks such as sorting, editing and sharing memories much faster.
