What is Genspark?
Genspark uses a swarm of AI agents to research your query across the web and synthesise a "Sparkpage" — a custom, interactive Wikipedia-style page on demand. Fast-growing Perplexity alternative with a different UX bet.
Key features
- Multi-agent research
- Generated "Sparkpages" with citations
- Built-in tools (image gen, code, sheets)
- No-ads mode
- API access
Pros
- Sparkpages are genuinely more useful than chat for research
- Free tier is generous
- Multi-agent approach surfaces stuff Perplexity misses
Cons
- UI complexity higher than Perplexity
- Slower per-query than basic chat search
- Less mind-share — fewer integrations
