E120 Product Fact Refresh
This review checks the time-sensitive product claims required by the E120 release gate. It uses current Google primary documentation. It does not authorize publication and does not resolve the separate final-audio timestamp blocker.
Current findings
| Boundary | Current documented state | Editorial treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Eligibility | Spark requires an adult user, a personal Google Account, a qualifying Google AI subscription, and Keep Activity. It is not currently available through work or school accounts. Google lists Pro or Ultra in the United States and Ultra elsewhere, with region, language, and platform exclusions. | The public drafts state the personal-account boundary and date plan and regional claims. |
| Background execution | Google’s May 19 launch article said the cloud-based agent could continue after a laptop was closed or a phone was locked. Current help says a schedule will not run when the device is off, while separately warning that schedules may run while a user is offline. | Preserve the contradiction. Do not promise unattended off-device operation. |
| Supported work | Current help lists actions in Calendar, Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Keep, and Tasks, plus connected Google search services, YouTube, custom apps, and several third-party apps. | Describe only documented actions and keep feature availability qualified. |
| Confirmation | Google says Spark is designed to request review and confirmation before certain communications, data changes, purchases, and form submissions. Shared document edits require review and confirmation. Bulk private Google Tasks actions may occur without confirmation. | Do not repeat the transcript’s universal-confirmation claim. Treat confirmation as action-specific and retain human approval in the workflow design. |
| Supervision | Google calls Spark experimental and says active supervision is important, especially for sensitive access, connected apps, and consequential work. It documents prompt-injection and unintended-action risks. | Keep important work narrow, reviewable, and reversible. |
| Connected context | Current help lists Workspace services, Google search services, YouTube, custom apps, selected third-party apps, Personal Intelligence, remote browser, remote computer, skills, and schedules. | Avoid implying that every account has every integration. |
| Privacy | Google says Spark can process tasks, schedules, skills, remote browser and computer data, Connected Apps, Personal Intelligence, and signed-in websites. Necessary information may be shared with services and third parties to complete a task. | Retain the credentials, payment, sensitive-data, and sensitive-schedule warnings. |
| Workspace Studio | Google describes Workspace Studio as a generally available Workspace product for creating, managing, sharing, and extending agents across business workflows. | Preserve the comparison between personal delegation in Spark and shareable organizational flows in Studio. |
Corrections made
- Replaced the inaccurate paraphrase that Spark could continue while a device was “off” with Google’s actual launch distinction: laptop closed or phone locked.
- Expanded the confirmation explanation so it cannot be read as a universal approval guarantee.
- Kept the launch-versus-current-help execution conflict visible instead of choosing one statement as settled behavior.
