Genspark

Genspark is an artificial intelligence company headquartered in Palo Alto, California, with additional offices in Singapore and Tokyo. Founded in 2023 by former executives from Baidu and Microsoft, the company operates under the legal name Mainfunc Inc. Genspark distinguishes itself in the competitive AI landscape by offering an 'AI agent engine' designed to serve as both a search engine and a comprehensive workspace. Unlike traditional search engines that provide a list of links, Genspark utilizes a mixture-of-agents (MoA) architecture to orchestrate multiple specialized AI models—including GPT, Claude, and Gemini—to generate consolidated, verified, and ad-free responses known as 'Sparkpages'.

The company's flagship platform, the Genspark AI Workspace, is engineered to automate complex knowledge work. It integrates various capabilities such as deep research, content creation, data analysis, and cross-platform task execution into a single interface. Key features include 'AI Slides' for generating presentations, 'AI Sheets' for data analysis, and 'AI Developer' for coding assistance. Genspark has rapidly gained traction, raising significant capital from investors like Lanchi Ventures and Emergence Capital, achieving a valuation of over $1 billion. The platform aims to transform how knowledge workers operate by shifting from simple chat-based assistance to autonomous agentic execution, capable of handling multi-step workflows and delivering finished outputs.
