The word despite has the same use as the phrase "in spite of". It is used where an action or result occurs that was to be avoided, or where an action takes place even though it is not the ideal.
Examples:
"Despite the efforts of the firemen, the house burned to the ground."
"We will finish the project despite the current lack of funding."
despite can be a connective or you can use it at the start of a sentance.For example: This is very good homework despite you got it yesterday.hope this helps :)

No, you do not typically use a comma after "despite." The word "despite" is a preposition that introduces a phrase, and a comma is usually unnecessary unless the sentence structure requires it for clarity or to separate clauses. For example, "Despite the rain, we went for a walk" uses a comma after the phrase, but not directly after "despite."
