In this video, I explore the practical capabilities of GenSpark AI for academic and research workflows, focusing on how it can support early-stage tasks like literature reviews, data interpretation, and presentation building. ▼ ▽ Sign up for my FREE newsletter Join 21,000+ email subscribers receiving the free tools and academic tips directly from me: ▼ ▽ MY TOP SELLING COURSE ▼ ▽ ▶ Become a Master Academic Writer With AI using my course: If you’ve ever wondered how to use GenSpark AI in a real research setting—rather than just hearing about features from a marketing page—this walkthrough will give you a firsthand look. I take a critical but open-minded approach to evaluating the tool. For instance, when using the GenSpark Autopilot Agent to draft a literature review on transparent electrodes, I was genuinely impressed by how well the structure and depth aligned with academic expectations. That said, I also noticed limitations - particularly in the number of references it pulled compared to other tools. These small details matter if you’re aiming for credibility in peer-reviewed work, which is why I think this video is useful for anyone looking for an honest GenSpark AI review. One of the most interesting features is the GenSpark AI Slides function. I tested it by uploading raw experimental data - just basic four-point probe measurements - and it generated a clean presentation structure, complete with analysis, methodology, and key findings. It didn’t just reformat the data; it actually interpreted and structured it into something I could potentially use in a research meeting. That’s not something most AI agents can do well out of the box. While the graphical abstract generation didn’t quite hit the mark (I show you why), the video illustrates how GenSpark is attempting to bridge automation and insight in a way that still respects the complexities of academic work. You’ll see where it shines and where you might need to rely on more specialized tools. Whether you're considering integrating GenSpark AI into your academic toolkit or just curious about what’s possible with today’s AI agents, this video offers a grounded take - highlighting both the potential and the pitfalls of automating parts of the research process. ................................................ ▼ ▽ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 00:23 Interface 03:57 Creating PRP Drafts 06:51 Abstract Creation Process 08:25 Working with Slides and Presentations 13:24 Outro ................................................ ▼ ▽ Socials for shorts and reels Instagram: TikTok: @drandystapleton
