A single text prompt to Google Gemini uses about 0.24 watt-hours of electricity and roughly 0.26 millilitres of water, around five drops. A comparable ChatGPT query sits near 0.34 watt-hours, meaning Gemini uses roughly 29% less energy per prompt.

Genspark AI is an all-in-one AI workspace built around a “Super Agent,” an autonomous assistant that plans and finishes multi-step tasks for you instead of just answering questions.
