Google has launched Gemini 3.5 Flash, a new AI model, as part of a broader set of updates that include the Spark agent, video generation tools, a daily briefing feature, and a redesigned interface. The company said Gemini now reaches over 900 million monthly active users.
A faster model for everyday tasks
Gemini 3.5 Flash is designed to respond quickly to common queries while keeping the quality high. Google hasn't detailed the exact performance improvements over previous versions, but the model is positioned as a workhorse for the millions of interactions the platform handles daily. The launch follows earlier iterations of the Gemini family and marks a push toward more efficient inference.
Spark agent and Omni video tools
The Spark agent is a new feature that lets users offload repetitive actions to the AI. Think of it as a semi-autonomous helper that can handle multi-step instructions within the Gemini interface. On the media side, Google released Omni video tools, a set of video generation capabilities that let users create short clips from text prompts. The tools are built into Gemini and don't require a separate app.
A Daily Brief and a cleaner look
Gemini's new Daily Brief feature pulls together personalized news, calendar events, and reminders in a single morning snapshot. It appears as the first thing a user sees when opening the app. The interface redesign goes along with it — Google simplified the layout, reduced clutter, and made the chat area more prominent. The company says the changes reflect feedback from the growing user base.
900 million users and counting
Crossing the 900 million monthly active user mark puts Gemini among the most widely used AI assistants. Google first revealed the user count in internal communications earlier this year, and the number has climbed steadily as the company integrated Gemini into more products, from Android to Workspace. The new features are expected to drive further adoption, especially among creators and power users who want automation and video tools in one place.
The Spark agent and Omni video tools are available now in Gemini. The Daily Brief and redesigned interface are rolling out globally over the next week.
