Welcome to the Taskade blog. We are thrilled for the official launch of Taskade in the coming months, please stay tuned for exciting announcements to come.
TL;DR: This was Taskade's very first post in 2017 — a simple "we're coming soon" note. Nine years later, Taskade spans multiple project views, frontier AI models, and 100+ integrations — and Taskade Genesis turns any prompt into a living app powered by your workspace.
In the meantime, you can try Taskade today. The open beta is now live! Please send any bugs or suggestions to support@taskade.com. Curious what came next? Browse the Community Gallery, explore AI Agents, or dive into Automations and templates.

Then → Now: 2017 open beta task lists → today's Workspace DNA (Memory + Intelligence + Execution) across Taskade Genesis apps.
From a single list to Workspace DNA
Nine years of shipping compress into one loop — Memory feeds Intelligence, Intelligence triggers Execution, Execution writes back to Memory. The 2017 task list was the first row of Memory.
