Former Baidu executives unveil "Genspark" — an AI search engine that answers with a single page instead of links
A startup founded by former Baidu executives Eric Jing and Kay Zhu has unveiled “Genspark,” a generative-AI-powered search engine. Its defining feature is that it presents search results not as a list of links, but as a single summary page called “Sparkpage” that pulls together multiple sources from across the web.
Details
- How it works: For a question like “What’s the best infant formula?”, it generates a single page — the “Sparkpage” — that synthesizes information from multiple sites into one answer
- Comparison to similar services: Presented as a concept similar to Arc browser’s “Arc Search,” also launched that year, and Google Search’s “AI Overviews”
- Funding: Raised a $60 million seed round led by Singapore-based VC Lanchi Ventures, at a $260 million valuation
- Founders’ background: Jing and Zhu are both former Baidu executives who founded the predecessor company, MainFunc, in 2023
What happened next
Genspark went on to shift its focus from search engine to autonomous AI agent. In March 2025, it raised $100 million in a Series A round and launched an iOS app, and in April it announced the autonomous “Super Agent” — rapidly transforming from a simple search service into an integrated workspace.
