Getting real tasks done
Genspark's Super Agent takes a whole job, runs it on its own cloud computer and hands back files: slides, documents, spreadsheets, web pages, images. Long jobs can run up to 2 hours and keep going after you close the tab.
Our assistant also runs on its own cloud computer with a browser, but it's built around errands and back-and-forth rather than files: open the account, fill in the form, wait for the reply, check back on Tuesday.
Phone calls
Genspark's Call For Me places a real call, talks to the person or the phone menu, and gives you a transcript and summary. It needs Plus or higher and costs a flat 500 credits a call plus a little more; voicemail and dropped calls are still charged. It's limited to 4 connected calls to the same number in 24 hours and won't make sales calls.
Our assistant can also phone a business for you, as part of the same job it's already doing by text and email.
Email and texting
Each Genspark Claw gets its own email address, and you chat with it on WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Teams, Signal and others; its help page says not iMessage. GenMail, its email app, works on your existing accounts and drafts replies for you to review.
You text our assistant over iMessage or SMS, or email it at its own address, which anyone can write to.

Genspark has a free plan of 100 credits a day, which stops for good once you hit a lifetime cap. Plus is $24.99 a month, Pro $249.99, Team $40 a seat. Claw's always-on cloud computer is billed separately.
Our assistant is free to try with no card (up to $250 of use or 14 days), then $99 to $999 a month.
