- At launch, Spark integrates with Google Workspace, Canva, OpenTable, and Instacart for end-to-end task automation.
- Users can teach Spark custom workflows and preferences, effectively programming their own automations.
- Spark may act independently, including making purchases, so supervision is recommended for high-stakes tasks.
