Genspark’s Super Agent ups the ante in the general AI agent race
This week, Palo Alto-based startup Genspark released what it calls Super Agent, a fast-moving autonomous system designed to handle real-world tasks across a wide range of domains – including some that raise eyebrows, like making phone calls to restaurants using a realistic synthetic voice.
Unlike older approaches that rely heavily on prompt engineering or rigid fine-tuning, CoTools keeps the base model “frozen” while training smaller components to judge, retrieve, and call tools efficiently. Manus, launched last month by the China-based company Monica, made waves with its multi-agent system, which autonomously runs tools like a web browser, code editor or spreadsheet engine to complete multi-step tasks. Despite not building a proprietary model stack, it still outperformed OpenAI on the GAIA benchmark — a synthetic test designed to evaluate real-world task automation by agents.
