1. Custom Super Agent - Create Your Dedicated AI Assistant
Feature Overview
Custom Super Agent is a feature that allows you to create your own AI agent without coding. You can build a dedicated assistant by combining multiple AI features to match your workflow.
Use Case
A marketing team created an agent with the following workflow:
- Deep Research for trend analysis (including competitor analysis)
- Generating a campaign proposal with AI Docs
- Creating presentation materials with AI Slides
- Generating a schedule and KPI management sheet with AI Sheets
Result: Campaign planning that traditionally took 3 days was reduced to 2 hours.
When to use this
- To automate regularly recurring business processes
- To execute complex tasks that link multiple AI features
- To create a customized AI assistant specifically for your team
It is crucial to clearly define the agent's "purpose" and "execution steps." For example, for a "Competitor Analysis Report Creation Agent," you would set up a flow like: (1) List competitor companies → (2) Analyze each company's website → (3) Create a comparison table → (4) Generate the report.
2. AI Chat - Advanced Conversational AI Interface
Feature Overview
AI Chat is a conversational AI that integrates multiple LLMs such as GPT-4 and Claude. It functions not just as a chatbot, but as an "integrated interface" that can call other Genspark features (search, image generation, code execution, etc.).
Differences from Other AI Chats
| Comparison Item | ChatGPT (Free Version) | Genspark AI Chat |
|---|---|---|
| Model Selection | GPT-4o-mini only | Switchable between GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, etc. |
| File Processing | Images only | Supports all: images, PDFs, Excel, videos, audio |
| Integration with Other Features | Limited | Integrates with 20+ features including search, image generation, code execution |
| Web Search | Paid plan only | Standard feature (can retrieve real-time information) |
Use Case
When a user uploads an Excel file and instructs, "Analyze this data and summarize it into a report," AI Chat performs the following:
- Reads the Excel data and conducts statistical analysis
- Generates graphs with AI Image
- Creates an analysis report with AI Docs
- Outputs a consolidated PDF report
Result: Analysis report creation that took a full day manually was reduced to 10 minutes.
3. AI Search - Next-Generation AI-Driven Search Engine
Feature Overview
AI Search differs from traditional search engines (like Google) in that it automatically collects, organizes, and summarizes information from multiple sources.
Differences from Traditional Search
| Google Search | Genspark AI Search |
|---|---|
| Displays a list of links | Generates an integrated answer from information |
| User needs to open and read each site | AI automatically extracts and summarizes information from multiple sites |
| Manual check of information reliability | Built-in fact-checking feature (with sources clearly stated) |
| Manual comparison of results | Compares and displays answers from multiple AIs (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini) |
Use Case

While AI Search is very convenient, caution is advised regarding the accuracy of the latest information. For important decision-making, it is recommended to verify the original information from the source links.
4. Deep Research - The Definitive Solution for In-Depth Research
Feature Overview
Deep Research is an enhanced version of AI Search that thoroughly researches a single topic and generates a report with citations. It is ideal for academic research, market research, competitor analysis, and more.
Differences from AI Search
| AI Search | Deep Research |
|---|---|
| Concise answers (hundreds of characters) | Detailed reports (thousands of characters) |
| Search time: a few seconds to tens of seconds | Search time: several minutes (investigates more sources) |
| Answers a single query | Automatically researches multiple related topics |
| Simple display of sources | All citations clearly stated in academic paper format |
Use Case

- Organized technology trends (RAG, multimodal AI, etc.)
- Investigated regulatory trends (AI Act, copyright issues, etc.)
- Generated a 30-page report citing over 50 sources
Result: Research that would cost hundreds of thousands of yen if outsourced to a consulting firm was completed in minutes.
- Academic research (paper search, literature review)
- Market research (industry analysis, competitor analysis)
- Technical research (latest technology trends, tool comparison)
- Policy and regulatory research (changes in laws, guidelines)
5. AI Docs - Revolutionizing Document Generation
Feature Overview
AI Docs is a feature that automatically generates documents in Word format. It can instantly create all kinds of business documents, such as reports, proposals, manuals, and contracts.
Differences from Traditional Document Creation
- Copy-pasting with ChatGPT: Generate text with ChatGPT → Copy-paste to Word → Manually adjust formatting (tedious)
- AI Docs: Just give instructions, and a complete .docx file including headings, table of contents, tables, and images is automatically generated
Use Case
When a development team instructs, "Create a requirements definition document for the e-commerce site renewal," AI Docs performs the following:
- Reads past project documents (Excel feature lists, Slack meeting logs, etc.)
- Automatically generates a requirements definition document template (heading structure)
- Creates a 50-page document including functional requirements, non-functional requirements, and screen transition diagrams
- Outputs in .docx format (ready for internal approval workflow)
Result: A requirements definition document that would take a week to create manually was completed in 1 hour.

6. AI Slides - Create Presentations Instantly
Feature Overview
AI Slides is a feature that automatically generates PowerPoint-format slides. Simply specify a theme, and a well-designed presentation will be completed.

- Adds 3 case studies (fictional cases or actual data if available)
- Adds slides for pricing and contact information
- Sets the design theme to "Business Professional"
Result: Slide creation that would take half a day manually was completed in 10 minutes. This means it can be ready even on the morning of a business meeting.
Design Customization
AI Slides automatically adjusts the following design elements:
- Color themes: Business, creative, academic, etc.
- Layouts: Text-centric, image-centric, graph-centric, etc.
- Fonts: Optimal font selection prioritizing readability
- Animations: Adds slide transition effects as needed
AI Slides is excellent as a tool for creating "drafts," but final checks should always be done by a human. Especially, always verify the accuracy of numerical data and proper nouns.
7. AI Sheets - Data Analysis and Automated Spreadsheet Generation
Feature Overview
AI Sheets is a feature that automatically generates spreadsheets in Excel/Google Sheets format. It supports data analysis, aggregation, graph creation, and automatic function insertion.

- Those who spend a lot of time creating data analysis reports
8. AI Website - Build a Website in Minutes
Feature Overview
AI Website is a feature that automatically generates a complete website (HTML/CSS/JavaScript). You can create a professional-quality website without any coding.
Use Case
A freelance designer requested, "I want to create my own portfolio site." AI Website performed the following:
- Uploaded past work images (10 items)
- Entered self-introduction and skill information
- Automatically generated a responsive design (smartphone compatible) website
- Automatically added a contact form
- Deployed the generated code to Cloudflare Pages
Result: A portfolio site that would cost over 100,000 yen if outsourced was completed in 30 minutes.
Features of AI Website
- Automatic responsive design: Optimized for PC, tablet, and smartphone
- SEO optimization: Automatically inserts meta tags and structured data
- Deployment integration: One-click deployment to Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, Netlify
- Customizable: Generated code can be edited later (supports HTML/CSS/JS export)
The most efficient way to use it is: "First, create the basic structure with AI Website → then make detailed design adjustments manually." You can launch a site 10 times faster than building it from scratch.
9. AI Meeting Notes - Streamline Meetings with Automated Minutes
Feature Overview
AI Meeting Notes is a feature that automatically records, transcribes, summarizes, and creates minutes for meeting audio. It can integrate with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams.
