Artificial intelligence workspace startup Genspark.ai today announced the launch of Genspark Claw, a new AI assistant designed to operate a dedicated cloud computer environment on behalf of each user.

The new offering is powered by the Genspark Cloud Computer, a dedicated cloud-based instance provisioned for every user, with Genspark Claw preinstalled and ready to use with a single click. The system provides a persistent environment where the AI assistant can execute tasks, run applications and manage workflows independently while maintaining data isolation.

The offering comes amid the rapid rise of OpenClaw, an open-source AI agent platform that allows users to run autonomous assistants capable of executing real-world tasks such as browsing the web, writing code and operating local systems. Though OpenClaw offers a great deal of freedom, it also presents security and compliance issues that may restrict its widespread use in enterprises.

Genspark’s offering, on the other hand, addresses one of the key barriers to wider adoption of computer-operating AI agents such as OpenClaw: the complexity of setup and security concerns. Genspark Claw assigns each user their own isolated cloud computer to make sure that data remains separate from other users and access permissions remain fully under user control.

It functions as an execution layer for the company’s broader AI workspace platform, with the assistant able to actively carry out tasks across systems and applications instead of simply generating responses to prompts. Users can interact with the assistant through messaging platforms such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Microsoft Teams and Slack — just like OpenClaw — to allow tasks to be delegated directly from chat interfaces where many teams already work.

Once given instructions, the system can research topics, draft documents, schedule meetings, manage email communications, deploy code and return completed results back to the user. Genspark says the approach allows users to orchestrate complex work outcomes from simple conversational requests without switching between multiple applications.

Along with the launch of Genspark Claw, the company today is also introducing updates across its AI Workspace platform aimed at enabling more hands-free execution and collaboration. The new capabilities include workflow automation that allows users to automate repetitive tasks across a range of enterprise applications, including Google Workspace, Outlook, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, Salesforce and X.

Other additions include meeting bots that can automatically attend scheduled meetings, capture discussions and generate summaries, as well as a Chrome extension that provides a sidebar assistant capable of understanding webpage context and assisting with browser-based tasks. The company is also expanding its collaboration features with new messaging capabilities for teams and releasing mobile versions of its Speakly assistant for iOS and Android.
