All-in-One Agent Suite
From documents to podcasts, Skywork’s six agents cover almost every content format you’ll need.
Open Source + MCP Powered
Built on top of OpenAgents with a public GitHub repo for deep customization and innovation.
Generous Free Credits
2,500 credits on signup + 1,000 daily = enough to explore all tools meaningfully.
Documents, Slides, Sheets
From detailed research reports to clean Excel dashboards—Skywork nails multi-step reasoning.
Podcast Generator = Wow!
Generates two-speaker podcasts with realistic, topic-researched conversations. Surprisingly strong.
Web Page Creation = Meh.
Decent effort but still lacks the polish and structure of tools like Lovable or Volt.
Genspark vs Skywork?
Skywork wins in visuals & open source flexibility. Genspark wins on structured, crisp outputs.
1. Slides Agent
Task Given: "Create a comprehensive ppt on Prompt engineering, covering basics to advanced methods. With examples for every strategy"
Output: The agent generated a clean deck, well-formatted and easy to follow. Each prompt strategy had its own slide, supported by clear examples. The design was consistent and visually pleasing, and it exported well to both PDF and PPT.
Feedback: Very Good. The slide deck was on par with outputs from Tome or Gamma—structured, readable, and presentation-ready.
2. Sheets Agent
Task Given: Uploaded a dataset around student performance and asked it to analyze and build a dashboard correlating habits (like study hours, sleep) with scores.
Output: It created an Excel workbook with multiple tabs: cleaned data, habit-performance cross-tabs, visualizations, and correlation insights. Graphs were embedded, and the structure allowed for easy slicing by category.
Feedback: Very Good. It stood out with the level of segmentation and usability—an ideal starting point for data storytelling.

3. Podcast Agent
Task Given: Create a podcast on the business model approach of Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and Microsoft for the Artificial Intelligence Race. What are their target audience, how has been their growth. Analyse the kind of products they are building and releasing, which kind a segment of audience they are reaching out. Who can eventually play a bigger role in which segment of the market or audience.
Output: The podcast generated was more than just text-to-speech. It mimicked a real conversation between two speakers, offering depth, clarity, and natural pauses. The discussion was topic-aware and surprisingly well-researched.
Feedback: Excellent. This was the most impressive output—it created a realistic podcast that felt like a smart YouTube discussion.

4. Web Page Agent
Task Given: Create a website on Prompt Engineering Basics to Advanced
Output: The webpage included basic HTML layout with content arranged in sections, but lacked rich visuals or a strong design framework. It functioned but didn't impress on styling or navigation.
Feedback: Average. It’s a good attempt, but far from what Bolt or Lovable can produce. Suitable for rough drafts, not production.

5. Document Agent
Task Given: Create a market research report on AI in Logistics to streamline operations
Output: The agent had done a deep research on the topic, highlighted important points, added structured sections with clear headings, and even suggested some improvements. It felt like a well-thought-out summary with editorial intelligence.
Feedback: Very Good. The output resembled something a real analyst might produce. Highly usable for reports. It has an option to add the sources.

6. General Agent
Task Given: Gave it a topic - "Create a story on how AI can change the healthcare industry with images"
Output: It crafted a professional-looking HTML document with images placed strategically and section-wise content formatting. HTML tags were appropriately used, making the output production-ready.
Feedback: Very Good. The article was publishable as-is, with enough visual richness and coherence.

Final Thoughts:
Skywork and Genspark are both impressive in their own ways—and frankly, choosing one over the other depends entirely on what you’re trying to do.
Skywork stands out for its visual presentation, agentic workflows, and the sheer breadth of formats it can generate. The open-source foundation also means developers can customize or extend its functionality.
Genspark, on the other hand, shines in its structure, polish, and professional tone—especially when you need output that feels formal and crisp right out of the box.
There are areas where Skywork clearly excels—like the podcast agent and sheets dashboard—and others where Genspark delivers a more refined experience—like in slides or general content creation.
So the verdict? Try both. See what fits your workflow and style best.
