The better frontend for Google Workspace
Google Chat has no E2EE, Gemini only knows Google context – and video meetings run in a separate tool. Sparks connects everything: Google Calendar, Drive, contacts and your other backends – in one interface, with an AI assistant that truly knows everything.
Why Google Workspace teams choose Sparks
-
Replace Google Chat – without leaving Google
Sparks connects directly to your Google Workspace and brings chat, meetings and AI into one interface. Your Google data stays in Google – Sparks is the better frontend.
-
AI assistant with real Google context
The Sparks assistant reads your Google Calendar, Drive files and contacts – and truly understands your work context. Gemini only knows Google data. Sparks knows everything.
-
E2EE and GDPR – what Google Chat doesn't offer
Google Chat has no end-to-end encryption. Sparks is built on the Matrix protocol with optional E2EE. Data stays in the EU – no CLOUD Act, no US access.
-
Use additional backends in parallel
Many teams use Google Workspace alongside Nextcloud, Open-Xchange or Microsoft 365. Sparks connects all of them – in one interface, without migration.
Sparks AI assistant vs. Google Gemini
Gemini only knows your Google context. The Sparks assistant knows everything – including Nextcloud files, MS365 calendars and Open-Xchange contacts.
| Aspect | Sparks | Google Gemini |
|---|---|---|
| Data sources | Google Calendar, Drive, chats + all other backends | Google Workspace only |
| GDPR / EU hosting | Yes – EU data centres, no US requirement | US cloud (CLOUD Act applicable) |

| Custom API key | Yes – no surcharge | No (Google model fixed) |
