What is Taskade?
Taskade is a flexible AI workspace founded in 2017 by John Xie, Dionis Loire, and Stan Chang (Y Combinator-backed). It combines lightweight task capture with AI agents, durable automations, and an app builder. Same simple feel as Any.do for daily tasks, with intelligence and execution layers underneath.
Taskade runs everywhere: macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and web. Get started instantly for free today.
What is Any.do?
Any.do is a cross-platform task and calendar app founded in 2011 in Tel Aviv by Omer Perchik, Yoni Lindenfeld, and Itay Kahana. It is well-loved for a clean three-pane layout, fast capture, calendar integration, and a respected mobile experience.
Any.do at a glance: 30M+ users globally. Cross-platform. Strong mobile design. Premium adds recurring tasks, themes, location-based reminders, and WhatsApp-to-task. Light on team and AI features.
Any.do is great at one job: a clean, fast personal to-do list with calendar in the same view. If your work fits inside daily tasks plus a calendar, it covers that well.
What Taskade adds on top of simple task management
AI Agents that execute the tasks
AI Agents v2 ship as first-class teammates with 33 built-in tools (web search, file analysis, image generation, code execution, project management), persistent memory, and custom tools. An agent can take a task like "research three competitors and draft an email" and actually do it — not just remind you about it.
Genesis turns prompts into deployed apps
Describe an ops dashboard, a customer portal, an intake form, or a CRM and Genesis returns a deployed application with custom domains, password protection, and OIDC/SSO. Browse the Community Gallery for real apps built from a single prompt.
100+ bidirectional integrations
Connect Slack, Gmail, Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion, Shopify, Google Sheets, GitHub, Calendly, and 90+ more. Triggers pull events in. Actions push data out. All on a production-grade durable runtime that retries on failure.
Real-time collaboration on the free plan
Chat, video meetings, and live multiplayer cursors live inside every project — on the Free Forever plan, not gated behind a team upgrade.
7 project views
List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Gantt, and Org Chart. Switching views does not duplicate data — the same tasks render any way you need them.
The Workspace DNA advantage
Taskade is built on Workspace DNA — a self-reinforcing loop between three pillars.
- Memory (Projects) — Tasks, files, docs, and structured data become the substrate every agent reasons over.
- Intelligence (AI Agents) — Agents v2 with 33 built-in tools, persistent memory, and custom tools you define.
- Execution (Automations) — Durable workflows across 100+ integrations that read from Memory, act through Intelligence, and write the results back into Memory.
Any.do gives you a clean task list. Taskade runs the loop where the task list itself becomes the input that AI builds, automates, and executes against. Read the Workspace DNA explainer.
