Gemini works the tasks you give it. The Machine reads every message, within about an hour.
Gemini Spark, now called tasks in Gemini, runs in Google’s cloud and works on the tasks, schedules and Gmail filters you set. The Machine goes through every new message by itself, within about an hour: one card per matter, only for what needs you, ready to approve. On your own server or computer.
Coverage depends on the sources you connect, their collection limits and your noise filters. Collected signals stay queued for review; large backlogs can take more than one review.
Gemini: works on it when a task or a Gmail filter you set covers it.
The Machine: reads it within about an hour, notes the deadline, and reminds you the morning it’s due.
Gemini: tracks it when a task you set looks for promises.
The Machine: keeps it by default, with things others promised you, and brings it back on Friday.
Gemini: a task can summarize or archive them, as you describe.
The Machine: one card, the reply drafted in your voice. It learns what you dismiss.
Gemini acts on the tasks you describe and the triggers you set: a time, a Gmail filter or a topic. The Machine goes through each new message by default, within about an hour, with no task to write.
Where Gemini shines. Research with sources, documents and slides, and web errands like bookings, right inside Google’s apps.
