PALO ALTO, December 29, 2025 – A Palo Alto startup, Genspark AI, has secured $275 million in Series B funding, catapulting it to a $1.25 billion valuation and positioning it to reshape how over a billion knowledge workers approach their daily tasks. The company’s newly launched “superagent” technology promises to automate entire workflows, a significant leap beyond existing AI assistants that typically handle only single tasks.
“We see a fundamental shift in how everyone is going to interact with work,” says Wen Sang, Genspark’s cofounder and chief operating officer. The company’s technology aims to challenge the notion that humans are primarily tool users, particularly for the vast number of professionals navigating a complex digital landscape of applications like Slack, Salesforce, and Microsoft Office 365.

Genspark AI’s superagent platform is designed to streamline workflows and free up employees for more strategic work.
- Genspark’s superagent automates multi-step processes with a single prompt.
- The company integrates with over 30 AI models and hundreds of work tools.
- Founded in 2023, Genspark reached $50 million in annualised revenue within five months of its initial product launch.
- Investors include LG Technology Ventures and Tencent.
Today, white-collar employees dedicate approximately 80% of their time to repetitive tasks – refining Excel spreadsheets, adjusting slide designs, and managing multiple AI tools to produce a final product, according to Sang. Genspark’s platform offers an end-to-end solution, orchestrating over 30 AI models, including those from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, alongside open-source options. It seamlessly integrates with hundreds of existing work tools and datasets to generate outputs ranging from financial reports and pitch decks to fully functional web and mobile applications.
“You command our superagent, and then the superagent figures out how to use all the tools to get the work done for you,” Sang explains, emphasizing the potential to liberate employees for more creative and strategic endeavors.
Sang envisions a future where everyone can operate like Jamie Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase, who simply communicates desired outcomes and evaluates the results. “We want that for everybody,” he states.
From Search Engine to Workflow Automation
Founded in 2023, Genspark initially focused on building a personalized AI search engine. However, the company pivoted as AI reasoning capabilities rapidly advanced. Last April, the startup released its first product for individual users and, within five months, achieved $50 million in annualised revenue and $700 million in corporate demand. “We just blew up,” Sang said.
The company’s rapid growth is fueled by a founding team with extensive experience in search and AI, having previously worked at Microsoft, Google, Meta, YouTube, and Pinterest. Eric Jing, Genspark’s CEO, was a founding member of Microsoft Bing. Kay Zhu, another cofounder, spearheaded AI-powered search ranking technologies at Google, launching the first deep neural network ranking model in 2013. Sang himself previously founded and successfully exited Smarking, a venture-backed enterprise software company.
Initially targeting individual users – consultants, bankers, analysts, and web developers – Genspark is now prioritizing enterprise clients, implementing robust security features like end-to-end encryption. Its customer base already includes publicly-traded real estate firms, oil and gas companies in Bogota, and government agencies in Dubai.
Global Expansion and Strategic Partnerships
LG Technology Ventures, a key investor in the recent funding round, is expected to play a crucial role in Genspark’s global expansion, particularly in Korea, a top five market for the company alongside the US, France, India, and Japan. “So there’s insights, there’s connections, there’s resources, there’s know-how” that will help Genspark understand and approach the Korean market, Sang says.
Other significant Series B investors include Emergence Capital Partners, SBI Investment, and Pavilion Capital. Genspark has also partnered with SourceNext, a publicly-traded Japanese company with a proven track record in software distribution, having sold hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of Dropbox over the past decade.
The Future of Work is Autonomous
Sang compares the current AI surge to the dotcom boom of 2000, acknowledging that the technology is still in its early stages and the competitive landscape is constantly evolving. “It’s the Wild West. There’s no set landscape. Everybody’s trying to release the world’s best model every day.”
However, he notes a clear trend: legacy software like Google Sheets is evolving into infrastructure for a new generation of AI agents. Furthermore, established software companies are forging partnerships with emerging AI players to maintain the relevance of their offerings. Genspark recently announced a partnership with Microsoft, integrating its superagent into the Microsoft 365 suite alongside Microsoft 365 Copilot. “They want to give their clients what they need vs just using their own stuff,” Sang said.
Genspark’s addressable market encompasses the entire world of knowledge workers. The company estimates it has only implemented 10% of its planned product roadmap, with ongoing development focused on expanding its capabilities and actively engaging with user communities to understand the evolving nature of work.
Ultimately, Sang believes Genspark’s superagent will shift the focus from hours worked to outcomes achieved, fundamentally changing how employees are evaluated. “That is a major mental shift,” he says.
