Gemini Spark's Chrome shopping agent expands to 160 countries, skips EU and UK

Google expanded Gemini Spark’s Chrome integration on July 30, 2026, letting the AI assistant use saved passwords and logged-in accounts to research and begin bookings — for apartment viewings, flights, and similar tasks — before handing payment steps back to the user, per Google’s own announcement. Access opened to Google AI Pro subscribers in more than 160 additional countries, but the EEA, UK, Switzerland, and Nigeria remain excluded, with Google not publicly stating why.
