About Genspark
What Is Genspark
Genspark started in June 2024 as an AI search engine that answered questions with generated pages instead of link lists. MainFunc, the company behind it, rebuilt the product around agents in April 2025 and turned it into a workspace where a single request can end with a finished file.
The difference matters in daily use. You don't ask Genspark for advice and then do the work yourself. You hand it a task, such as "compare five project management tools and build a deck for the leadership meeting," and an agent plans the steps, searches the web, opens its own tools and writes the result into an editable format.
Genspark runs on credits, and that's the first thing to understand before paying. A quick chat costs almost nothing. A long research run that spawns ten slides and a data sheet can burn through thousands. Free accounts get 100 credits a day up to a lifetime allowance, which is enough to test the workflow but not to run a job every day.
The second limit is judgment. Agents produce drafts that look finished, and some slides or numbers still need a human pass. Treat the output as a first draft from a fast junior colleague, not as something you publish unchecked.
Getting Started
- Create an account at genspark.ai with an email address or a Google login. The Free plan starts with 100 credits a day, so you can try a real task before paying.
- Choose an agent from the workspace. Super Agent handles open-ended jobs, while AI Slides, AI Sheets, AI Docs and Deep Research are tuned for one kind of output.
- Describe the task and attach what you have. A brief, a spreadsheet, a PDF or a link gives the agent something concrete to work from, and the result gets noticeably better.
- Check the draft, then export. Slides come out as PPTX, sheets as XLSX, and documents as DOCX or PDF, all editable in the tools you already use.

Key features
Super Agent
Super Agent is the general-purpose worker. It breaks a request into steps, decides which models and tools to call, browses the web, and assembles the result into a file. It handles jobs that mix research, writing and layout, which is where single-purpose tools usually force you to stitch outputs together by hand.
AI Slides
Describe the topic, the audience and the number of slides, and Genspark builds an editable deck with structure and speaker notes. You can ask for changes slide by slide, and the export keeps text and shapes editable in PowerPoint rather than flattening everything into images.
AI Sheets
AI Sheets reads an uploaded spreadsheet and answers questions in formulas and tables. Typical jobs include cleaning a messy column, building a summary tab, or explaining what a formula does. The output stays in Excel format, so existing reports keep working.
AI Docs
AI Docs produces long-form documents with headings, tables and lists, and it can pull from files you attach. It's the right tool for proposals and reports where the structure matters as much as the wording, and the draft arrives formatted instead of as a wall of text.
Deep Research
Deep Research runs a multi-step search, reads the pages it finds and writes a report with citations. The value is speed on unfamiliar ground: you get the shape of a market or a technical topic in minutes, then decide which sources deserve a closer read.
AI Browser and Chrome Extension
The Chrome extension puts an agent in a side panel, so it can read the page you're on, summarize it or run a task across tabs. It also works as a standalone AI browser for searches that need more than a list of links.
Pros and cons
Pros
- One subscription replaces several separate tools for slides, sheets, documents and research, which cuts both cost and context switching.
- The free plan gives 100 credits a day, enough to judge output quality on your own work before subscribing.
- Deliverables arrive as editable PPTX, XLSX and DOCX files, so the result fits into existing workflows.
- Paid plans include a weekly free quota in Standard mode, which keeps routine text and image tasks from eating monthly credits.
- Mobile apps and the Chrome extension let you start a job away from your desk and pick it up later on the web.
Cons
- Credit use varies a lot by task and model, so a heavy research habit can cost far more than the sticker price suggests.
- There's no public API for developers, which rules Genspark out as a backend for your own product.
- Long multi-step jobs sometimes lose the thread, and the last slides or the final table need manual correction.
- Free accounts hit a lifetime cap on daily credits, after which the daily refill stops and the balance simply runs down.
Frequently asked questions
Genspark is used to finish work rather than to discuss it. You give it a task, and an agent researches, writes and formats the result into a slide deck, spreadsheet, document or report. It's a workspace for deliverables, not a general chatbot.
