Switch from Genspark to Task Machine
Genspark combines creation tools with agents in shared team chats. Task Machine gives recurring jobs Tasks, review gates and one Inbox for decisions.
Prefer the side-by-side comparison?Why people switch
-
Held sends fail runs
In Genspark's Workflow builder, a send held by Approvals fails the run instead of opening a request for your decision. GenTeam separately offers access requests you can approve.
-
Tests change real data
Genspark's Workflow Test run changes data and uses credits, and sends go out unless Approvals holds them. The builder may also execute real steps while configuring a workflow.
-
Pooling needs Enterprise
Genspark's business pricing reserves shared or distributed credit pooling for Enterprise. Team does not include it.

| Area | In Genspark | In Task Machine |
|---|---|---|
| Tasks |
In Genspark
GenTeam tasks have a status, one assignee and their own discussion thread. People and agents work in the same group chats. |
In Task Machine
Every job is a Task that a person or an agent owns. It keeps its plan, discussion, decisions, runs and history together, such as the drafts and review of a weekly report. |
| Approval |
In Genspark
GenTeam's Access tab sets who may use each app through an agent. A request outside those settings reaches the creator as a card in a direct message, with approval and decline options. |
In Task Machine
Set each agent's actions to Ask first or Automatic. Decisions arrive in your Inbox with context, and a Human approval step pauses a Workflow before an action such as sending a report. |
| Recurring work |
In Genspark
Workflows start on schedules, incoming Gmail or Outlook messages, or completed meeting notes. Runs happen in Genspark's cloud, so your computer can be off. |
In Task Machine
Schedule a Task or Workflow in your timezone, such as every Monday at 9. A recurring job keeps one stable root Task, with each occurrence's own status and history. |
| Connections |
In Genspark
Workflow tools include Gmail, Outlook, Google Drive, Slack and business systems such as HubSpot. Each third-party service needs its own connection. |
In Task Machine
Install services from the Connectors catalog or add your own connection through an API, command-line tool or Model Context Protocol. Assign each connection to the agents that need it. |
| Execution |
In Genspark
GenTeam offers agents on Genspark's hosted cloud computers and agents on your own connected computer, in the same chats. |
In Task Machine
Run agents in Managed Cloud with nothing to install, or connect a Local Worker, a computer you control, for local files, tools and accounts. Choose where each agent runs. |
| Documents |
In Genspark
AI Slides keeps a conversation and deck in one project. Its paid export options include PDF, PowerPoint and Google Slides. |
In Task Machine
Keep reports, research and uploaded files in the Library with version history. Upload a deck as a reference file rather than treating it as an editable slide project. |
| Pricing |
In Genspark
Team costs $40 per seat monthly or $35 per seat per month billed annually, with 10,000 monthly credits per seat. Enterprise pricing is custom. |
In Task Machine
Usage based, from $29 a month before tax. The whole payment becomes usage that your workspace shares, with no base fee. |

You may stay with Genspark if
You may stay with Genspark if you want creation tools and team conversations together. Its business workspace includes slides, spreadsheets and documents, while GenTeam brings people and agents into the same group chats. Existing tasks, schedules and access approval cards mean you do not need to move just to coordinate agent work.
What you give up
Task Machine's docs do not describe a bundled slide editor, spreadsheet editor or importer for Genspark projects. Keep the creation tools you need and store exported files in the Library. Moving means copying instructions, reconnecting accounts and rebuilding workflows, not importing a finished workspace.
There is no trial. Your first payment funds usage, and AI work and execution consume it even when an attempt fails. Start with one reporting job rather than moving every agent at once.
How the switch works
- Before changing subscriptions, keep original source files and export your slides as PowerPoint, PDF or Google Slides while your paid export access is available. Download the files from AI Drive. Copy agent instructions, task briefs, connection lists and schedules into your own archive, and check export options for your other Genspark data.
- Create a workspace, connect the accounts that one selected job needs, and upload reference files to the Library. Do not assume that a saved deck transfers its conversation or agent settings.
- Pick a Playbook, such as a weekly report, or rebuild the process in the Workflow builder. Define the required result and add a verifier where an automated check would help.
- Choose Supervised autonomy and put an explicit Human approval before sending or publishing. Test with copied inputs and a review destination rather than live recipients. Approval gates do not make other write steps harmless.
- Set the schedule and timezone. Switch off the corresponding Genspark workflow before enabling replacement sends. Review the cancellation instructions for your plan and purchase channel, since cancelling an individual plan does not cancel Team access.
Common questions
Can I move my Genspark files and conversations together?
AI Slides documents exporting decks to PDF, PowerPoint or Google Slides. Keep original files and separately archive the instructions and context you need. Task Machine's docs do not describe importing Genspark conversations or workspace settings. Upload files to the Library and rebuild the selected job.
How do the costs compare?
Genspark Team charges per seat with a credit allocation. Task Machine's pricing starts at $29 a month before tax, with the whole payment shared as workspace usage and no base fee or trial. The units differ, so compare a representative job. You keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut and never custodies your accounts.
Will Task Machine pause before sending a report?
Put a Human approval step before the send in your Workflow. It holds progression for a person's decision. Set the agent's autonomy separately, since changing its preset does not add or remove an explicit approval step.
Must I give up Genspark's editors?
You can keep using Genspark's creation tools while moving one recurring job. Task Machine's Library holds reference files and generated reports, but its docs do not describe replacing an interactive slide or spreadsheet editor.
