Where TulipFarm differs
Four differences that matter when a reorder job belongs to a team rather than one inbox, each with how Gemini Spark handles it.
One set of records for the whole team
TulipFarm
Sam, Maya and their agents update the same tables. Field rules stop a bad value before it saves.
See TablesHow Gemini Spark handles it
Spark needs a personal Google Account. For now it isn’t available with a work or school account.
support.google.com/gemini/answer/17094507A teammate approves the exact change
TulipFarm
On actions you pick, the agent shows the exact change and waits for a person on the team to approve it.
See AgentsHow Gemini Spark handles it
Spark asks you to confirm before it sends messages, changes your data, buys something or submits a form.
support.google.com/gemini/answer/17094507Workflows that wait days for a teammate
TulipFarm
A run can wait up to 30 days for a teammate and picks up after a restart without redoing finished steps.
See WorkflowsHow Gemini Spark handles it
Scheduled tasks run once, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, or when an email or topic update arrives.
support.google.com/gemini/answer/17094710Shared work, private chats
TulipFarm
Projects and tables are shared. Workspace admins can’t open a member’s personal chats or private agent tasks.

Tasks run in one person’s Gemini app, with Keep Activity on and a Google AI Pro or Ultra plan.

Questions about TulipFarm and Gemini Spark
Is TulipFarm a Gemini Spark alternative?
Yes, when the work belongs to a team. Spark is a personal agent that runs on one person’s Google account. TulipFarm gives a team shared tables, files and workflows, and for the actions you choose, an agent shows the exact change before a person approves it.
Where did Gemini Spark go?
Google renamed Spark to “Task”. In the Gemini app it now sits behind the Chat and Task toggle, and Google’s help center calls the feature tasks in Gemini.
Can my company use Gemini Spark with work accounts?
Not for now. Google’s help center says tasks in Gemini need a personal Google Account and aren’t available with a work or school account. They also aren’t offered in the EEA, Nigeria, Switzerland or the UK.
Can TulipFarm do everything Gemini Spark can?
No. Spark can browse websites in your Chrome or a cloud browser, run code, connect to apps like Instacart and OpenTable, and run up to 15 tasks at once. TulipFarm has shared tables with field rules, workflows that wait up to 30 days for a person, and private chats that admins can’t open.
When should I just use Gemini Spark?
Choose Spark for personal work across your own Gmail, Calendar and Drive, for tasks that need a browser, or if you already pay for Google AI Pro or Ultra.
Can I move my Spark tasks to TulipFarm?
Not automatically. Export the Sheets a task reads as CSV or XLSX and import them into a table, paste your skill’s instructions into a TulipFarm skill, and run both until you trust the result.
How much does TulipFarm cost compared with Gemini Spark?
Your first TulipFarm Cloud signup includes $50 in free credits. Paid plans aren’t public yet; see the pricing page to ask for more credits or apply for student, NGO or startup support. Spark comes with Google AI Pro at $19.99 a month in the US, or with Google AI Ultra.
Does TulipFarm work with Gmail and Google Drive like Spark?
Yes. Each person can connect their own Google account for Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets and Slides. Reading needs no approval; any change in Google waits until a person approves the exact request.
