Build Without Permission
You don't need a development team.
You don't need months of planning.
You don't need anyone's approval.
You just need an idea.
Genesis is the biggest leap we've made in 8 years. It turns a single prompt into a living, breathing system—not a prototype, not a wireframe, but a real, intelligent app that works out of the box.
One Prompt → One App
Describe what you need in plain English:
"I need a customer onboarding system that collects information, assigns tasks to my team, and sends welcome emails automatically"
Watch Genesis build it—complete with forms, databases, AI agents, and automation workflows. All connected. All working together. All live in minutes.
Your data becomes the backend.
Your workspace becomes the engine.
Your agents become your team.
Your Workspace Is Alive
Every other AI builder gives you a shell. Genesis gives you a living system that thinks:
🤖 Built-in Intelligence (AI Agents) - Digital teammates trained on your business
🧠 Built-in Memory (Projects) - Your data becomes structured, searchable, connected
⚡ Built-in Execution (Automations) - 100+ integrations that act on your behalf
No integrations to configure. No setup required. Real systems. Live in minutes.
From HyperCard to Genesis
In 1987, Apple launched HyperCard—a tool that let anyone build software by stacking cards. Simple. Playful. Powerful.
For a brief moment, the tools to build were in everyone's hands. Then they disappeared behind IDEs, APIs, and engineering teams.
Genesis is the HyperCard of the AI era.
One prompt. One app. A new system for a new generation.
What You Can Build
Dashboards that track and visualize data in real-time
Portals that automate client requests and bookings
Tools that calculate, process, and adapt to context
Websites powered by AI agents trained on your projects
Every app is alive from day one—connected to your workspace, powered by your agents, growing smarter with every interaction.
The Movement Has Started
This isn't just a product. It's a shift in mindset.
A signal to the next generation of builders:
You don't need permission anymore.
Not to start. Not to ship. Not to define the system.
So build. Break things. Launch without asking.
Build without permission.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Taskade AI App Builder?
Taskade AI App Builder (Genesis) lets you describe any business need in plain English and generates a complete working application — with databases, AI agents, automation workflows, and a live interface — in minutes. No coding or technical skills required.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. Genesis is designed for non-technical users. You describe what you need in natural language, and the system builds the entire application for you, including backend logic, data models, and AI-powered features.
What kinds of apps can I build?
You can build dashboards, client portals, CRMs, booking systems, internal tools, AI-powered websites, and more. Every app comes with built-in AI agents, real-time data, and automation workflows connected to your Taskade workspace.
How is this different from other no-code builders?
Traditional no-code tools give you drag-and-drop templates. Genesis gives you a living system powered by Workspace DNA — three pillars (Intelligence, Memory, and Execution) that make your app think, remember, and act autonomously.
Can I customize the app after it is generated?
Yes. Every generated app is fully editable. You can modify the interface, add or remove AI agents, adjust automation workflows, connect additional data sources, and extend functionality at any time.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Taskade offers a free tier that includes access to the AI App Builder, AI agents, and core workspace features. You can upgrade for additional capacity, team collaboration, and advanced automation.
The five things a finished build contains
A Taskade Genesis build hands you a live app at a shareable URL, not a code export you still have to deploy. That single difference is what separates the three families of AI app builder, and choosing the wrong family is the most expensive mistake buyers make in this category.
When the build completes, five things exist and are already wired to each other:
- An interface you can open, use, and send to someone else the same minute
- Live data that reads and writes your workspace projects through a data gateway, so the app and your team see the same records
- AI agents that live inside the app and keep working after launch
- Automations that fire on triggers and push updates back out to your other tools
- A publish path, including sign-in for the people you want to let in
You never touch a build step, a deploy pipeline, a hosting bill, or an environment variable.
Three kinds of AI app builder, and which one fits you
Every tool in this market is really answering a different question. Match the question you have to the column you need.
| Code-generating builders | No-code app platforms | Workspace app builders | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Examples | Lovable, Bolt, v0 | Bubble, Softr, Retool, Glide | Taskade Genesis |
| What you get | A codebase you own and deploy | An app bound to that vendor's editor | A live app bound to your workspace data |
| Who runs it after launch | You, or the vendor's hosting | The vendor | Taskade, with no infrastructure to manage |
| Where the data lives | A database you set up | The vendor's tables | Your workspace projects, behind a data gateway |
| Does anything work after launch | Only what you coded | Only what you configured | AI agents and automations keep running |
| Entry paid price | Lovable Pro $25/mo month-to-month, Bolt Pro $25/mo month-to-month, v0 Plus $30/user/mo month-to-month with no annual billing | Bubble Starter $59/mo billed annually, Softr Basic $25/mo month-to-month, Retool Team $12/builder/mo month-to-month | Taskade Pro $10/mo billed annually |
Pick a code-generating builder when the deliverable is source code you intend to own and extend in an IDE. Pick a no-code platform when you want pixel control over a customer-facing surface and are willing to configure every field. Pick Taskade Genesis when the app has to run your actual operation, share data with your team, and keep doing work on its own once it is live.
The prompt someone actually types
Vague prompts produce vague apps. A good one names the records, the people, and the thing that should happen automatically:
"Build an onboarding tracker for my agency. Each client is a record with company name, plan, kickoff date, owner, and status. Show it as a board by status and as a table. When a client is created, generate a kickoff checklist and assign it to the owner. Every Monday, post a summary of clients still in setup to Slack."
That prompt produces a data model, two of the nine project views, an agent that writes the checklist, and a scheduled automation. Everything after that is refinement in plain English.
Cost of getting started
The free plan builds real apps, not previews: you can create up to three apps total, run ten automation flow runs a month, and you receive 6,000 credits from activation milestones, 1,000 for verifying your account and 5,000 on your first build. That is deliberately sized to fund one complete app end to end.
Paid plans are flat, not metered per app or per viewer. Pro is $10/mo billed annually and adds multi-agent Agent Teams and webhook triggers. Business at $25/mo billed annually is the line where an app becomes your product: custom domains, app colors, app SEO visibility, and agent white-labelling all live there.
More questions about the AI app builder
How long does it take to build an app with AI?
A first working version usually exists within a few minutes of submitting the prompt, and the refinement loop after that is measured in minutes rather than days. The reason is that there is nothing to provision: no database to create, no hosting to configure, no deploy step to wait on. You are editing a running app, not waiting for a build.
Who owns the app the AI builds?
You do. The app, its data, its agents, and its automations belong to your workspace and can be edited, duplicated, shared, or exported by anyone you give the right role to. Nothing about the generated app is locked behind a review step or a vendor approval queue.
Does my app get its own database?
No, and that is intentional. A Taskade Genesis app reads and writes live workspace data through a data gateway, so the records in the app are the same records your team sees in their projects. You skip database setup entirely, and you never end up with an app whose data has quietly drifted away from the rest of the business.
Can I put the app on my own domain?
Yes, on Business plans and above. Custom domains for a published app, app colors, and app SEO visibility are all Business features, so an app you intend to put in front of customers under your own brand should be planned on Business at $25/mo billed annually rather than Pro.
Can people log in to the app I build?
Yes. Published apps support GenesisAuth, an email and password sign-in for the people you let in. It is email and password only, so there is no Google or social login for app visitors, and SAML or SCIM govern your workspace members rather than your app's end users. For an internal tool, you can skip app-level sign-in entirely and control access with the 7-tier role model from Owner to Viewer.
How many apps can I build on the free plan?
Three. The free cap counts total apps created, not apps live at once, so deleting an app does not return a slot. Free also cannot clone or import a bundle that contains automations, which is worth knowing before you try to clone a community app that has a workflow attached.
Can my app connect to the tools my team already uses?
Yes, in both directions. Triggers pull events in from tools like Slack, Gmail, Google Sheets, and Calendly, and actions push data back out to Stripe, Shopify, Notion, Salesforce, and GitHub. Because automations run on a durable execution engine, a step that fails is retried rather than silently dropped. See the full integrations catalog.
What happens to my app after I publish it?
It keeps working. The agents inside it answer questions, triage records, and summarize what changed, and the automations continue to fire on their triggers. This is the part most builders skip: they generate a static artifact and then stop, so the app is only as smart as the day it was made.
Can I clone an existing app instead of starting from a blank prompt?
Yes, and it is usually the faster path. The community gallery is full of live apps you can clone in seconds, complete with their structure, agents, and connections, then reshape with prompts. Starting from something that already runs beats staring at an empty box.
Can I export the code the AI generates?
No, and this is the clearest line between the two families of builder. Taskade Genesis produces a running app rather than a codebase, so there is no repository to clone. Your data is fully exportable and reachable by automations at any time, but if owning source code you can extend in an editor is a hard requirement, a code-generating builder such as Lovable or Bolt is genuinely the right tool and you should use one.
Are apps built this way secure enough for real business data?
Access is governed by the 7-tier role model from Owner to Viewer, published apps sign people in with GenesisAuth, and a secret scanner is the enforcing gate on publish, so credentials cannot be shipped into a live app. Because the app reads workspace data through a data gateway rather than holding its own copy, there is no second store to secure. See the security page for current detail.
Is Taskade Genesis a better fit than Lovable or Bolt for a business app?
For an app that runs an operation, yes, and for a codebase you plan to own in Git, no. Lovable and Bolt are excellent at producing source code, and if your goal is a repository you deploy yourself, that is exactly what you want. Taskade Genesis is the better fit when the app has to share live data with your team, keep agents working after launch, and never require you to manage infrastructure.
