Google's Gemini Spark is a near-ideal AI assistant, but Perplexity does one thing better

I seriously thought this day would be far out in the future, but here we are. We already have AI assistants that can take instructions and execute a series of tasks (not just one at a time) without your supervision — it’s almost like having a human assistant.

Google’s Gemini Spark is one such product. In fact, it’s one of the first of its kind to be so easily and widely accessible to end users rather than enterprises. It’s so intuitive that I instinctively gravitate towards Spark whenever I need something done within the Google ecosystem. It’s supposed to work in the background, but I just can’t help marveling at an AI assistant pulling context and information from various sources, verifying it, and executing any given task as if it were a meticulous researcher. The novelty factor alone makes it so fun to use.
