Verdicts
Gemini Spark
Google's help pages state what Spark confirms before doing, how to delete its remote browser and code data, and the risks of prompt injection. Spark has no public API, Google calls it experimental, and it runs only with Keep Activity on, the setting under which chats are used for model training and human review.
Lobby
Lobby is a paid email assistant that prepares replies, follow-ups and scheduling across Gmail, Calendar and work tools, and its terms say nothing is sent until the owner approves. No outside agent can call it, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found on 21 October 2026.
Before you call either
Gemini Spark
- Do not plan an integration against Spark. No public API or MCP server was found, and a person must hold a Google AI Pro or Ultra subscription
- Expect a confirmation request before sends, edits, purchases and web form submissions, and note that bulk changes to private Google Tasks run without one
- Delete remote browser data and remote code execution data in Gemini Spark Settings after a sensitive session. Deleting a task thread or Gemini Apps activity does not remove them
- Keep within 15 running tasks and 50 active schedules. A schedule does not run when 15 tasks are running or the usage limit is reached
- Treat every safety statement here as Google's own description. None was tested, and no message was sent to the service
Lobby
- Don't plan to call Lobby from another agent. It works only inside its own app for the signed-in owner.
- Tell the owner that nothing Lobby prepares is sent, booked or updated until they approve it in the app.
- Check whether the 7-day trial takes a card before signing the owner up. The terms don't say.

Disclosure
Lobby competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
