Genspark

Genspark started as an AI search engine and grew into a multi-purpose agent. Early on, its distinguishing idea was to organise search results into a structured topic page rather than a single answer; since then it has added a range of generation tools, so after researching it can produce slides, spreadsheets and reports, and can even place phone calls to gather information for you.

The philosophy is “one conversation from research to deliverable”: instead of searching in one tool, writing the report in another and laying out slides in a third, everything happens in one interface, with several models dividing up the work behind the scenes.

Output is good enough for a first draft but layout and details usually need a pass. Like Manus, complex tasks are slow and expensive in credits.

Key features

• AI search: Combines multiple sources to answer a question and organises the result into a readable page with citations.
• Slide generation: Builds a deck straight from a topic or from its research, which you can keep revising through chat.
• Spreadsheets and reports: Turns gathered information into data tables or long-form research reports.
• Call for me: In supported regions, it can phone a business on your behalf to ask about opening hours, bookings and the like.
• Media generation: Creates images, video and other assets to accompany reports or presentations.

How to use

1. Go to the Genspark website, sign up and log in.
2. Pick a feature on the home page, such as search, slides or sheets, or describe the task to the general agent.
3. Spell out the topic, audience and output format — for example, “a roughly 10-slide industry trends deck for the sales team.”
4. Wait while it researches and builds the result; you can follow the steps as it works.
5. Keep refining through chat, or export and polish it in your own software.

Best for

• Fast research plus a first draft: When you need a sourced report or deck on short notice.
• Information roundups: Pulling multiple viewpoints on a topic into a comparison table.
• Searches where you want a deliverable, not an answer: When a presentable page or file is more useful than a paragraph of text.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths

• Search, synthesis and generation happen in one flow, reducing tool-switching.
• Produces ready-to-use files such as slides and spreadsheets.
• Results include sources, making them easier to verify.

Limitations

• Deliverables are first-draft quality; layout and wording usually need human editing.
• Complex tasks take a while and eat through free credits quickly.
• Coverage and quality for Chinese-language sources are less consistent than for English.
• Phone calling and some other features are region-limited and not available to everyone.
