What Is Taskade?

The Workspace DNA advantage
Process Street documents the steps. Taskade runs them. We call it Workspace DNA, a self-reinforcing loop that powers everything you build.
- Memory (Projects) — Your SOPs, run history, files, and structured data become the substrate every agent reasons over.
- Intelligence (Agents) — Custom AI Agents with persistent memory and 22+ built-in tools live inside the workspace as first-class teammates that complete steps, not just describe them.
- Execution (Automations) — Durable workflows triggered by external events (Slack, Gmail, Stripe, GitHub, Calendly, webhooks) read from Memory and act through Intelligence — then write results back into Memory. The loop closes.
