The situation

Your VP of Product asks you for a recommendation on where Genspark should focus the next two quarters. Genspark is seeing early organic interest in its AI agent product, and leadership believes the market window for AI tools is moving fast. Some leaders want to put real effort into acquisition now, including paid channels and a more formal growth motion, arguing that speed matters and competitors are multiplying. Others think the bigger opportunity is to keep shipping new agents quickly, improve the ones that resonate, and let usage teach the team which jobs are worth deepening before spending on demand generation. The hard part is that both paths compete for the same scarce product, engineering, and design attention. If the team pushes distribution too early, it may pay to bring users into a product that is not yet compelling enough to retain them. If it waits too long, it may miss the chance to establish itself while interest in AI agents is rising. You need to propose a product area strategy that balances learning speed, product quality, and growth.

What to produce

Write a 1 to 2 page product strategy memo.

Your answer must

Make a clear recommendation on how Genspark should allocate effort between shipping or improving agents and building acquisition or growth motion over the next two quarters.
Identify the primary user jobs or segments you would prioritize first, and explain why they are the best source of repeat usage and organic pull.
Define 3 success metrics, including at least one retention or repeat usage metric and one learning metric that helps decide what to build next.
Outline a 90 day plan with the key experiments, decision points, and what evidence would cause you to change course.
Address the main risks and mitigations, including speed versus quality, fragmented product focus, and the risk of wasted acquisition spend.

Constraints

Product, engineering, and design capacity is limited, so investment in paid growth or onboarding work directly reduces capacity to ship or improve agents.
You cannot assume strong brand awareness or a large marketing budget.
AI agent quality is uneven across use cases, so every new area requires close measurement and iteration.

Format

Use a recommendation up front, then short sections for rationale, metrics, experiments, and risks.
