Definition: Living Portals are Taskade Genesis-powered client and booking systems that connect directly to your workspace. AI agents handle requests, automations confirm and sync data, and your workspace becomes the living system powering every interaction.
What Makes Portals "Living"?

Living Portals:
- AI agents handle requests and route them to the right team
- Automations process and confirm without delay
- Fully connected to your workspace projects and data
