70radar
Datasette AgentData query AI agent — SQL and charts inside Datasette
Natural-language querying now lands inside existing SQLite-backed Datasette apps. Useful for lightweight admin analytics without building a custom BI layer.
- Datasette Agent answers questions over data stored in Datasette, turning prompts into SQLite queries and responses.
- The datasette-agent-charts plugin adds chart generation, making quick visual exploration possible without a separate dashboard stack.
- The live demo runs on Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite: cheap and fast is enough for many SQL-writing agent workloads.

`Gemini Spark`, Google’s hosted agent tied to Workspace apps
60radar
Gemini SparkHosted AI agent — native Google app connections
Google is packaging app-connected agents around Workspace, but much is still coming soon. Security and credential handling decide whether it becomes useful or risky.
- Gemini Spark connects natively to Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, YouTube, and Maps. That makes it closer to a work agent than a chat UI.
- FAQ says it runs on Gemini 3.5 Flash and Antigravity. The Antigravity stack spans a desktop app, CLI, SDK, and VS Code fork.
- Enterprise notes mention fresh isolated ephemeral VMs, Agent Gateway DLP, and encrypted credentials. That is the right threat model, not proof it is solved.
- Since the product is not broadly testable yet, treat it as a roadmap signal. Do not build critical automations around it until GA behavior is clear.
