Google is rolling out Gemini Spark controls for Google Photos to Google AI Pro and Ultra subscribers in the United States over the coming weeks. The agent can search and curate libraries, create copies when editing, organize albums, extract text from images and set recurring tasks. It can also prepare shared-album links for Gmail, Docs and Messages, but asks permission before sharing albums or sending email. New albums are private by default.
