OpenAI's built-in agent mode that absorbed Operator and Deep Research: a cloud virtual computer with browser, terminal, and connectors that researches, fills forms, and edits files, pausing for user approval on consequential actions and handing back control for logins/payments.
Credit-based all-in-one 'AI employee' workspace whose Super Agent mixes multiple frontier models with 80+ tools to produce slides, sheets, sites, and calls, and whose 2026 'Genspark Claw' gives each user a persistent cloud computer commandable from WhatsApp/Telegram/Slack/Teams.
Google's successor lineage to Project Mariner (shut down as a standalone May 2026): Gemini Agent plus the I/O 2026 'Gemini Spark', a 24/7 always-on personal agent on dedicated cloud machines with deep Gmail/Workspace integration, MCP tool support, and check-before-acting guardrails, gated to AI Ultra ($100/mo) beta.
