MacOS users can access the feature through the standard Gemini application. The rollout represents Google's continued effort to make its AI tools more accessible across different devices and operating systems. Details on specific Spark capabilities available in the macOS version remain limited, though the integration suggests feature parity with other Gemini implementations.
