Modalities — Vertex AI Wins

Modalities: Genspark compared with Vertex AI
Feature	Genspark	Vertex AI
Text Input	Yes, requires free plan. AI Workspace 6.0 answers in plain English and can query data into dashboards.	Yes, requires plus plan. Gemini and other models via Generate Content API and Agent Studio.
Image Upload / Vision	Unknown. Not confirmed on the public homepage this round.	Yes, requires plus plan. Gemini multimodal accepts images in the API and console.
Image Generation	Yes, requires plus plan. Team and Enterprise include an AI Image Agent and unlimited zero-credit use of top-tier image models on Team (promo through 31 Dec 2026). Image generation is a named product surface, not a marketing aside.	Yes, requires plus plan. Imagen models in Model Garden and Vertex AI Studio.
Voice Mode	Partial. Workspace 3.0 documents Speakly as Genspark's dictation companion: it turns speech into edited text in any field. That is one-way voice input, not a two-way conversational voice loop.	Partial. Speech APIs exist. Not a consumer voice-chat loop like Gemini app.
Video Understanding	Unknown. Not confirmed on the public homepage this round.	Yes, requires plus plan. Gemini video understanding in Agent Studio and the API.
Video Generation	Yes, requires plus plan. Team and Enterprise include AI Video and all current video generation models (Gemini Veo, Kling, Runway, Seedance, MiniMax Hailuo, PixVerse, Wan, Hunyuan, and more).	Yes, requires plus plan. Vertex AI serves Veo and other video generation models.
File Upload (PDF, DOCX)	Unknown. Dashboards from data imply files, but a PDF uploader was not specified.	Yes, requires plus plan. RAG with Cloud Storage and document ingestion in Agent Builder.
Code Execution	Unknown. GenTerminal is listed by name. Sandbox execution was not documented.	Partial. Colab Enterprise and notebooks for code. Not a chat Python sandbox.
Audio Input	Unknown. Speakly implies audio. File transcription was not confirmed.	Partial. Speech-to-text models available. Vertex is a platform, not a voice assistant.
Canvas / Artifact Editor	Unknown. Dashboards exist. A docs/code canvas was not specified.	No. Studio is a dev console, not a consumer canvas.
Screen Sharing / Computer Use	Unknown. Not confirmed on the public homepage this round.	No. No computer-use desktop product.

Memory & Context — Vertex AI Wins

Large Context Window	Unknown. No token window is published on the homepage.	Unknown. Depends on the Gemini/model version deployed.
Custom Instructions	Unknown. Not confirmed on the public homepage this round.	Yes, requires plus plan. System instructions in Agent Studio and API prompts.
Conversation History	Unknown. The Chrome extension keeps conversation history for the current session so you can ask follow-ups. A persistent saved-chat product was not documented.	Partial. Session state in agents. API calls are otherwise stateless.
