1. From Search Engine to Agentic AI: Genspark’s Strategic Pivot

Originally launched as an AI-powered search engine aimed at structuring and synthesizing information for business users, Genspark found that users weren’t satisfied with mere answers—they sought actionable outcomes. According to Kay Zhu, co‑founder and CTO, users wanted deliverables like pitch decks, emails, follow-ups, or creative outputs—not just summaries. 

In April 2025, Genspark pivoted decisively, embracing agentic AI. Their new product, Super Agent, launched as a no-code platform enabling users to instruct an AI via natural language and get fully executed workflows—ranging from calls to slides, summaries to videos. The shift reflected both evolving user expectations and rapidly expanding AI capabilities, including multimodal inputs, longer context, and improved reasoning. 

2. Under the Hood: How Super Agent Works

2.1 Multi-Agent Architecture

Super Agent orchestrates nine specialized LLMs and over 80 integrated tools to accomplish user prompts. GPT‑4.1 serves as the core reasoning engine, coordinating tasks across models tailored for research, summarization, image and video generation, voice interaction, and formatting. The system dynamically routes sub-tasks to appropriate components for efficiency and accuracy. 

2.2 GPT‑4.1 Enhancements

Key capabilities of GPT‑4.1 that enable Genspark’s agentic workflows include:

  • A 1 million-token context window, allowing agents to ingest entire reports, data sets, or long documents in one pass.

  • Improved instruction-following, enabling precise structured outputs in JSON.

  • Automatic prompt caching, reducing API costs, latency, and redundant processing across multi-step workflows.

These features support workflows like analyzing large documents, generating structured slide decks, or orchestrating voice conversations with dynamic context retention.

2.3 Voice Interaction via Realtime API

One standout feature is Call For Me, enabling agents to make real-world phone calls using speech‑to‑speech powered by OpenAI’s Realtime API. The system uses two layers:

  • A Realtime agent for immediate voice interaction.

  • A shadow model that monitors ongoing dialogue and guides strategy via message queues.

This architecture allows agents to handle live human conversations—like scheduling, cancellations, or confirmations—with minimal glitches, even in noisy or ambiguous call environments. 

3. Capabilities in Action: What Super Agent Delivers

3.1 Workflow Automation

Users can type simple prompts such as:

  • “Call my dentist to reschedule.”

  • “Create a pitch deck about solar energy.”

  • “Turn this recipe into a short animated video.”

Super Agent handles the rest: generating slides, stylized graphic covers, voice calls, or scene-by-scene scripts with video delivery. Videos, spreadsheets, or presentation decks are produced end-to-end without manual intervention. 

3.2 Multimodal Content Generation

Agents can generate animated short videos, visual slide covers, voice interactions, and document summaries. GPT‑image‑1 is used for image generation. The combination of multimodal inputs and outputs removes the friction of integrating separate tools. 

3.3 Structured Outputs

Thanks to GPT‑4.1’s strict JSON output format, agents produce clean, machine-readable data—ideal for downstream tools like spreadsheets or APIs. Outputs can be fed directly into presentations, databases, or analysis workflows, removing the need for manual reformatting. 

4. Business Performance: Rapid Growth, Lean Team

Within 45 days of launching Super Agent, Genspark reached $36 million ARR, despite having a 20-person team and zero paid advertising. Growth was entirely organic, driven by product virality and user-led expansion. Eight major agent features were launched in just 70 days. 

Users praised Super Agent for making automation accessible, with no coding barrier—turning complex tasks into seamless workflows through plain-language prompts. LinkedInReddit

5. Genspark & OpenAI: A Strategic Partnership

Genspark credits close collaboration with OpenAI—including regular contact with solution architects—as a core enabler of rapid scaling. OpenAI’s APIs, documentation, and multimodal model capabilities expedited development and debugging, helping Genspark ship faster than expected. 

OpenAI highlighted Genspark’s launch on its official “Stories” page, branding Super Agent as a signature example of practical AI-powered automation for business and personal users.
