Google makes Gemini Spark AI agent available to Hongkongers as it lowers geofences

Google has launched its Gemini Spark AI agent in Hong Kong, allowing local users direct access to a smart assistant capable of managing complex digital workflows. The release follows Google's earlier decision to remove regional geofences for generative AI services, enabling Hong Kong users to access Gemini without needing a virtual private network or third-party platforms. Gemini Spark, powered by the Gemini 3.6 Flash model, can perform tasks such as summarizing emails and generating customer feedback reports. It integrates seamlessly with Google's Workspace tools like Gmail, Docs, Sheets, and Calendar, offering continuous operation without requiring internet connectivity. This move positions Google to compete with open-source AI alternatives by leveraging its native ecosystem and secure cloud infrastructure.
