Genspark Is a Unicorn Now. Let’s Get up to Speed
Goal: Freeing Knowledge workers from repetitive tasks. So how are they doing two years later?
This is our third article in our learning series on Genspark. See the first here, and the second here. I think my readers know how bullish I am on the skills of
- who I asked to take another look at this AI startup (I keep bugging him about). There’s a good reason for this.Editor’s Introduction to Genspark
In my mind Genspark used to be a Chinese Perplexity of sorts, with many ex members of Baidu. I incredibly liked the product when it focused on search. But it has morphed commercially into a rather impressive Agentic AI first startup. Honestly I can’t believe that they only recently just did their Series B funding.
You might recall seeing Genspark if you ever came across
’s Lean AI Leaderboard 🏆Genspark at of the time of writing ranks 16th globally in the most lucrative lean AI startups in the world. (This is not a sponsored post). As someone that studies AI startups and AI tools, Genspark is a case study that continues to fascinate me. It’s a fair example of how scrappy Chinese AI engineers can be (wherever they choose to be based). The pivots in product and pricing are textbook lean growth.
Eric Jing, Kay Zhu, and Wen Sang founded Genspark, an AI company specializing in agentic AI for knowledge workers. Eric Jing serves as CEO, Kay Zhu as CTO, and Wen Sang as COO. The company was established in 2023 by Jing and Zhu, former Baidu executives, and later expanded to include Sang as a co-founder. Genspark has since achieved unicorn status with a valuation exceeding $1 billion following a $275 million Series B funding round in November 2025.

Genspark remains the sort of AI tool that you rarely hear about compared to the value it can provide knowledge workers. If I only paid for one AI tool, this one might actually be it.
A Prototype of the Flourishing AI lean Startup
However the crazy part is how they keep pivoting adding features. Genspark AI is an all-in-one AI workspace that leverages advanced models (literally the latest days after they are released) to automate complex tasks with a single prompt. It acts as a super agent, generating content such as slides, sheets, documents, images, videos, and even full apps or spreadsheets.
Bring your own AI (BYOAI) - a Hidden Gem 💎
Originally launched as an AI search engine for synthesizing information, it has evolved into a no-code platform for personal agents. Genspark excels in productivity by handling research, phone calls, presentations, and creative workflows without robotic outputs.
Basically if you like Perplexity and use Chatbots for research, you’ll likely like Genspark. I cannot praise this thing enough.
On November 20th, 2025 the small AI startup announced Genspark AI Workspace. As you might have guessed Genspark AI Workspace is an “all-in-one” AI platform designed to automate knowledge work by consolidating research, communication (email/meetings), and content creation (docs, slides, sheets, visuals) into a single environment, putting tasks on “autopilot” with high-level prompts instead of manual steps. Basically, it can do a lot of useful stuff at a fairly high level.
What is Super Agent?
Genspark is an AI super agent that automates complex, multi-step tasks by combining multiple AI models and tools to execute high-level prompts, going beyond simple assistance to deliver finished results like presentations, videos, code, and even making phone calls for you. So for example tasks it excels at are for research with citations, content creation (slides, videos, podcasts, reports, websites), data analysis (sheets), and real-world actions (phone calls for bookings/inquiries), functioning as an autonomous agent that plans, researches, and executes tasks with minimal user input.
How does it work?
Super Agent and the approach that Genspark has evolved into is being fairly utilitarian (which I can respect).
Key Capabilities:
Multi-Agent Workflows: Uses several specialized AIs (chat, code, image, video) for one request, cross-verifying and compiling outputs for better results.
Autonomous Task Execution: Breaks down complex tasks (e.g., “plan a trip to Japan”) into steps, executes them, and provides the final output.
Deep Research & Reporting: Conducts comprehensive research, fact-checks, and generates detailed reports or Wikipedia-style pages with citations and chatbots.
Content Generation: Creates professional slides, spreadsheets, short videos, animated explainers, podcasts, websites, and lead magnets from simple prompts.
Real-World Actions: Features a “Call For Me” function to make phone calls (e.g., to check restaurant availability or book tables) and summarize the interaction.
Productivity Tools: Generates resumes, organizes data into tables, assists with legal/finance matters, and integrates with platforms like Google, Slack, and Notion.
The Human Interface and backend?
Input Prompt: You give Genspark a high-level goal (e.g., “Create a presentation on AI trends for investors”).
Agent Orchestration: Claude (or similar) coordinates multiple specialized AI models (like GPT-4) to tackle parts of the task.
Execution: The agent researches online, analyzes data, generates content (text, images, code), and performs actions.
Verification: Outputs are checked for quality and accuracy.
Deliverable: A finished product (like a slide deck, video, or summary) is provided, ready for use, often with options to export or customize further.
Key Aspects of Genspark in 2025:
Autonomous Workflow: It uses multiple AI agents to fulfill requests, acting as an all-in-one workspace to reduce app switching.
Multi-Modal Creation: Generates various content types, including documents, presentations, spreadsheets, images, and videos from simple prompts.
Advanced Technology: Orchestrates various frontier models and open-source AI, supported by extensive tools and datasets.
Agentic Capabilities: Can perform complex actions like making calls and integrating with business apps.
You can expect this list to change as well. Genspark is actively finding not just their product market fit but a path to really stand out from other AI startups in my opinion.
has this Newsletter Why Try AI that is super useful not just for keeping up to date on AI News but exploring AI tools. I would consider it beginner friendly but also specialist friendly. Daniel is a down-to-earth Ukrainian guy living in Denmark with a keen eye for experimenting with AI tools. His writing style is super approachable, casual, useful, informative and funny.“Daniel loves experimenting with creative GenAI tools like image generation, AI video, AI music platforms, and so on.”

True to his method to find the most actionable AI tools, Daniel lists some of what makes Genspark really useful for knowledge workers in a fairly comprehensive listicle format. If you are considering trying Genspark in depth, you really should read this. This is a pretty deep dive but also an easy to follow overview of Genspark’s main capabilities (it’s deeper than you think).
The article also catches you up on Genspark’s frantic product innovation - and I mean considerable progress in mere months. It covers essentially everything Genspark has launched since May 2025 (the link to the first article is at the beginning of this one). See Genspark’s pricing feature list here. Genspark offers three service tiers with different usage limits with credits now.
Anyways, literally one of the best AI tools people still haven’t heard of. Put down NotebookLM and try this! While the majority of its employees are Chinese, Genspark (Mainfunc Inc.) maintains an office in Singapore as part of its global operations alongside its Palo Alto headquarters. Singapore where some of its top investors are based.
If I could combine
