Agentic search that returns a page, not a list of links
7 lessons2026-08-06AI-generated
1Overview
Genspark answers a question by having agents research it and then generating a page about it, rather than handing you ten links to read yourself. The same agent approach extends past search into multi-step tasks — booking-style research, comparisons, document and slide generation. → Reach for it for the questions where the work is the SYNTHESIS: comparing options, gathering scattered facts into one place. → Unlike Perplexity (which cites as it answers, in a chat), the output here is closer to a generated document, so check the sources it names before you rely on it.
Not written yet — this chapter is a placeholder for Genspark, one of the all-in-one AI platforms. Research and copy still to come.
1.1What does Genspark return?
Genspark gives you a generated page that answers your question, instead of a list of links to click through.
1.2How does Genspark differ from Perplexity?
Unlike Perplexity’s chat‑style answers with inline citations, Genspark produces a document‑like output, so you need to verify the named sources before relying on it.

2.1Fact‑check a claim with Genspark AI Fact Checker
The AI Fact Checker is a tool that verifies statements by searching live sources, taking screenshots, and returning a true/false verdict with evidence.
You will be able to input any claim and receive a structured verification report with source URLs and screenshot thumbnails.
Open https://www.genspark.ai/tools/ai-fact-checker in your browser.
Paste the sentence "The Great Wall of China is visible from space with the naked eye." into the input box.
Click the button to start the check and wait for the process to finish.
Review the verdict line (TRUE / FALSE / PARTIALLY TRUE) and scroll to see the list of supporting and contradicting sources, their URLs, verbatim quotes, and screenshot thumbnails.
You'll see A FALSE verdict with three cited sources that include screenshots and quoted text showing why the claim is incorrect.
Takeaway AI fact‑checking combines live web search, evidence capture, and a secondary verification step to produce auditable results you can trust.
2.2Track token usage in a GenSpark agent
A custom instruction that prepends an estimated token count and appends the actual usage after the agent runs.
Display estimated and actual token counts with each agent response
Open GenSpark Settings and choose Custom Instructions.
Create a new instruction with the text “Calculate estimated token usage before the task and display it, then show actual tokens after completion.”
Click Save to store the custom instruction.
Run a GenSpark agent such as Super Agent with any query.
Check the response header for “Estimated tokens: X” and the footer for “Actual tokens used: Y”.
You'll see The chat reply shows an estimated token number at the top and the actual token count at the bottom
TakeawayEmbedding cost‑tracking logic in custom instructions gives you real‑time visibility into model usage without changing each prompt
Check How does the GenSpark agent’s response display both the estimated token count before running and the actual token usage after completion?
2.3Create a structured answer with pros, cons and an action plan using Super Agent
The Super Agent is Genspark's autonomous AI assistant that breaks requests into steps, chooses tools, and delivers finished results such as research summaries, pros‑cons lists and action plans
Produce a short, organised response to a complex query without manual synthesis
Click the New button in the GenSpark web UI
Select Super Agent from the sidebar menu
Enter a prompt like “Explain pros and cons of solar energy for small businesses and give a 100‑word action plan”
Press Submit to run the request

Takeaway Super Agent automates multi‑step reasoning to turn raw queries into ready‑to‑use decision artefacts
Check What three sections does the Super Agent output when you ask it for pros, cons and an action plan?
2.4Generate a data‑rich spreadsheet using AI Sheets
AI Sheets is an agentic spreadsheet feature that automatically searches the web, gathers data, and populates a spreadsheet based on a natural‑language request.
You will create a fully populated spreadsheet of the top 100 AI startups in Singapore with descriptions, revenue estimates, funding status, and website links.
Navigate to the Genspark AI Sheets page (linked from the blog or product list).
Enter the prompt: “I would like a list of the top 100 AI startups in Singapore. Include a brief description of their product, estimated revenue, funding status, and website.”
Submit the request and wait for the agent to search sources, de‑duplicate entries, and fill the table.
When the sheet appears, scroll through the rows to verify that each startup has the four columns filled and that source references are attached.
You'll see A spreadsheet with 100 rows, each containing a startup name, product description, revenue estimate, funding status, and website link, plus embedded citations.
Takeaway Natural‑language queries can turn vague data needs into structured, citation‑backed tables without manual searching or formula work.
2.5Build a navigable research page with Super Agent
Super Agent is Genspark’s autonomous AI assistant that breaks a request into steps, calls the right tools, and assembles the output into a finished artifact such as a research page.
You will produce a multi‑section web page that summarizes electric‑vehicle market trends, includes citations, and provides navigation links between sections.
From the Genspark homepage, open Super Agent via the “New” menu in the sidebar.
Enter the prompt: “Create a research page on current electric‑vehicle market trends. Include an introduction, three analysis sections, and a conclusion. Add citations for each fact and generate a table of contents with links to each section.”
Allow the agent to run its multi‑step workflow (research, citation gathering, page assembly).
When the result is displayed, click the generated table of contents links to confirm they navigate to the corresponding sections and inspect the footnote citations.
You'll see A single web‑page view containing a clickable table of contents, clearly separated sections on EV trends, and numbered citation footnotes linking back to source URLs.
Takeaway Super Agent can orchestrate research, citation, and document assembly into a cohesive, navigable output that saves you from stitching pieces together manually.
2.6Build a navigable research page with AI‑generated sections and citations
Deep Research (Spark Page) is a GenSpark feature that builds a single web‑page containing a title, table of contents, sections, source citations, and an embedded AI assistant.
Produce a single view that aggregates information from multiple sources into a structured document
Click New in GenSpark and choose Deep Research (Spark Page)
Enter a concise prompt such as “Compare major AI research tools for a 2025 university thesis in 100 words”
Press Enter to let the system gather sources, generate sections and add citations

Takeaway Deep Research merges multi‑source synthesis into one self‑contained document for rapid iterative refinement
Check Which components on the generated Spark Page verify that Deep Research has assembled a single, navigable document with title, table of contents, numbered sections and source citations?
2.7Save the research‑page workflow as a reusable Super Agent skill
A Skill in Super Agent is a saved workflow that can be re‑executed on demand, letting you repeat complex multi‑step tasks with a single command.
You will convert the EV research page creation into a named skill and run it again without redefining the prompt.
In the Super Agent chat where you created the EV research page, type: “Save this workflow as a skill called ‘EV Market Report’.”
Confirm any prompts that appear to store the skill.
Open a new Super Agent session and type: “Run the skill EV Market Report.”
Observe that the agent instantly reproduces the same multi‑section page with updated citations.
You'll see The assistant acknowledges the saved skill, then outputs a fresh research page identical in structure to the original, confirming the workflow was reused.
Takeaway Saving complex agents as skills turns one‑off AI projects into repeatable automation primitives you can share across teams.
