Definition: Nodes in Taskade are the fundamental structural elements that organize information within projects. Each node can contain text, tasks, media, or other content, and serves as a building block for hierarchical project organization that AI agents can understand and manipulate.
Node Structure and Hierarchy
Hierarchical Organization: Nodes create tree-like structures with unlimited nesting levels for complex project organization
Content Flexibility: Each node can contain text, tasks, checklists, links, images, or any combination of content types
Intelligent References: Nodes can reference other nodes across projects, creating knowledge networks
AI Understanding: AI agents can read, create, and modify nodes based on their content and context
Real-Time Sync: Node changes appear instantly across all team members and devices
Node Types and Functions
Content Nodes: Rich text with formatting, links, and embedded media for documentation and knowledge sharing
Task Nodes: Actionable items with assignees, due dates, and completion tracking
Heading Nodes: Organizational elements that structure project sections and provide navigation
Reference Nodes: Links to other nodes, projects, or external resources for connected information
Template Nodes: Reusable node structures for consistent project organization
AI Agent Integration
Contextual Understanding: AI agents understand node relationships and can work with complex project structures
Automated Organization: Agents can create, reorganize, and enhance node structures based on project needs
Content Generation: AI agents can populate nodes with relevant content based on project context
Smart Navigation: Agents help users find relevant nodes through intelligent search and recommendations
Workflow Automation: Node changes can trigger automations and AI agent actions
Collaboration Features
Real-Time Editing: Multiple team members can edit different nodes simultaneously without conflicts
Comment Threads: Discussions attached to specific nodes for contextual team communication
Change Tracking: Complete history of node modifications with user attribution
Permission Controls: Fine-grained access control for different nodes and content types
Cross-Project References: Nodes can link to and reference content across different projects
Universal View Integration
View Consistency: Nodes appear appropriately in all 8 universal views while maintaining their content and structure
Dynamic Presentation: Node content adapts to different view contexts (list items, board cards, calendar events)
Filter and Search: Node content is searchable and filterable across all project views
Bulk Operations: Modify multiple nodes simultaneously across different project views
Export Flexibility: Node structures export cleanly to various formats while preserving hierarchy
Getting Started: Create nodes by adding items to any project - they automatically organize into hierarchical structures that support AI agents and team collaboration.
