Change the email on your bank accounts and let the agent fill in the forms
The poster wanted a new email address on their bank accounts, so they asked their Gemini Spark agent to write and send the request. The bank replied with a form to fill in. Spark pulled the details from the poster's Google Drive and filled in two forms, one for each account, so all that was left was to sign and send them.

Gather the documents for a complicated tax filing and fill in a draft
The poster had a tax filing with overseas reporting, the kind that usually means paying a specialist. He says Grok Bot found the documents it needed in his email and bank accounts, worked out the requirements and filled in the forms. He reviewed everything and submitted it himself, and estimates it saved him over $1,000.

He mentions he works at Google.
