What is Taskade Genesis?
Taskade Genesis is the AI engine at the core of Taskade. It's how one prompt becomes a live, intelligent app.
Every app created with Taskade Genesis is:
- Connected to your workspace data
- Controlled by AI agents that learn and act
- Powered by automations that run behind the scenes
Think of Taskade Genesis as the origin of living software โ apps that understand context, remember history, and evolve with your needs.
How does Taskade Genesis work? (Workspace DNA)
Taskade Genesis builds apps from your Workspace DNA โ the foundation that powers everything:
Memory (Projects) โ Living databases that store and sync your data
Intelligence (Agents) โ AI teammates that reason, decide, and learn
Execution (Automations) โ Workflows that trigger actions across 100+ integrations
These three pillars continuously reinforce each other. Automations write back to projects. Agents learn from project data. Apps evolve in real-time.
This is what makes Taskade Genesis different โ your workspace is your app's backend.
What is a Taskade Genesis App?
A Taskade Genesis App is a live, real-time interface built from your workspace DNA:
- Projects power the data layer
- AI Agents power the logic layer
- Automations power the execution layer
You can share, embed, brand, or clone apps instantly โ no redeploy required. Changes sync in real-time across all platforms.
What can I build with Taskade Genesis?
Anything you can describe. Here's what teams build every day:
- Dashboards โ KPI trackers, analytics views, real-time reports
- Projects โ Client portals, team workspaces, external collaboration
- Tools โ CRM systems, AI-powered follow-ups, pipeline management
- Workflows โ HR processes, inventory trackers, approval systems
- Websites โ Landing pages, event pages, documentation sites
- AI Assistants โ Custom agents trained on your data
- Commerce โ Booking systems, storefronts, appointment scheduling

- Quick Apps โ Lightweight apps for everyday tasks
Every app is connected to your workspace DNA โ projects, agents, and automations work together.
Use App Presets for common patterns, browse Featured apps, or start from scratch with a prompt.
What are Projects? (The Memory Pillar)
Projects are living databases that power your Taskade Genesis apps. They're the Memory pillar of Workspace DNA.
Unlike simple notes or task lists, projects are structured data that:
- Sync in real-time between your app UI and the underlying data
- Switch views instantly โ List, Table, Board, Calendar, Mind Map, Document
- Collaborate inline โ @mentions, custom fields, and text highlights across all views
- Power automations โ Trigger workflows when data changes
- Train AI agents โ Agents can analyze, clean, classify, and predict using project data
Use cases:
- Booking systems with automated reminders
- Inventory trackers with stock alerts
- CRM pipelines with lead scoring
- Content calendars with publishing workflows
Import from CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets. Your data becomes intelligent.
What are AI Agents? (The Intelligence Pillar)
Agents are the reasoning layer of Taskade โ the Intelligence pillar of Workspace DNA.
They're not chatbots. Agents learn from your workspace, make decisions, trigger automations, and evolve over time.
What agents can do:
- Research, plan, analyze, write, and code
- Execute custom commands and respond to triggers
- Use tools โ Slack, email, web search, APIs, and 100+ integrations
- Collaborate with other agents in multi-agent teams
- Run automations and update project data
- Greet users with custom intros and conversation starters
How to train agents:
Upload files (PDFs, docs), paste URLs, add YouTube videos, or connect cloud drives (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive). Agents build a knowledge base from your sources and get smarter with every interaction.
How to create:
- AI Agent Generator โ Describe what you need in plain language
- Templates โ 70+ pre-built agent templates for common use cases
- Custom โ Full control over personality, commands, tools, and knowledge
Can I train agents on my own data?
Yes. Every agent can be trained on your own knowledge sources:
- Files โ PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, presentations
- URLs โ Websites, documentation, knowledge bases
- YouTube โ Video transcripts and content
- Cloud Drives โ Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive
Agents also learn from your real-time project data โ they can read, analyze, and act on the structured data in your workspace.
Each agent maintains short-term and long-term memory, so they remember context from previous conversations and get better over time.
Training is automatic โ just add your sources and the agent builds its knowledge base.
What is Multi-Agent Orchestration?
Multi-Agent Orchestration lets you deploy multiple AI agents working together on tasks concurrently.
Three modes of collaboration:
- Single Agent, Multiple Tasks โ Assign one agent to handle different tasks sequentially
- Multiple Agents, Concurrent โ Deploy specialized agents on different tasks simultaneously
- Bulk Assignment โ Select multiple items and assign an agent to all of them at once
Each agent has short-term and long-term memory, so they can review previous work, iterate on results, and coordinate through your shared workspace data.
Think of it as building an AI team โ a researcher, a writer, and a reviewer can all work on the same project at the same time.
What are Automations? (The Execution Pillar)
Automations are the execution layer โ the backbone that keeps your workspace running 24/7, even when you're offline.
Triggers include:
- Webhooks and API calls
- Form submissions
- Task and project events
- Scheduled times (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly)
- Agent chat completions
- 100+ integrations (Slack, Gmail, GitHub, Stripe, Calendly, and more)
Actions include:
- Run agent commands
- Send notifications (Slack, email, Discord, WhatsApp)
- Update databases and project data
- Branch with conditions and loop through data
- Scrape websites and call external APIs
Example workflows:
- Form submitted โ AI summarizes โ Slack notification
- Every Monday โ Check project statuses โ Generate report
- Stripe payment โ Create account โ Send onboarding email
- GitHub PR merged โ Update project โ Notify team
Build from scratch, generate with a prompt, or use templates. Automations run in the background so your workspace never stops working.

What is Taskade's background?
Taskade was founded in 2017 by John Xie (CEO) and Stan Chang (CTO) with a mission to simplify how teams work together.
After going through Y Combinator (S19), Taskade evolved from a real-time collaborative workspace into the AI-native platform it is today โ where one prompt creates living software powered by AI agents, automations, and real-time data.
Backed by Y Combinator, Grishin Robotics, Fellows Fund, and notable angel investors including Mark Pincus (Zynga), Hiten Shah (Kissmetrics), and Aaron Iba (Etherpad/Google Wave).
Today, Taskade ships weekly product updates and serves over 1 million users building the future of work.
How does Taskade compare to other tools?
Taskade is the only platform that unifies what used to require 5+ separate tools:
- Project management (Asana, Monday) โ Built-in
- Note-taking & docs (Notion, Obsidian) โ Built-in
- AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude) โ Built-in agents
- Automation (Zapier, Make) โ Built-in flows
- App building (Retool, Bubble) โ Taskade Genesis
The difference: in Taskade, everything is connected. Your projects feed your agents. Your agents trigger automations. Your automations update your apps. It's one living system, not five siloed tools.
