Taskade Genesis builds a live progress-tracking app from one prompt — AI agents roll up subtask completions into parent-task percentages and automations broadcast updates to stakeholders the moment milestones shift.
What Is Task Progress Automation?
Task progress automation continuously calculates how complete a task or project is — based on subtask counts, weighted milestones, or custom formulas — and publishes that number to dashboards, digests, and stakeholder notifications without any manual entry.
Why Use Task Progress Automation?
Progress that lives only in a project manager's head creates anxiety and surprises at deadline time.
- Automatic rollup: Subtask completions feed into parent-task percentages in real time.
- Milestone broadcasting: When a project hits 25%, 50%, or 75% complete, stakeholders are notified automatically.
- Workspace DNA at work: Memory tracks historical velocity; Intelligence forecasts completion dates; Execution drives the next task automatically.
- Visual dashboards: Table and Gantt views display progress bars across all active tasks without extra configuration.
- Client transparency: Share a progress view with clients via custom domains (Pro+) and client logins (every plan) so they never need to ask.
Who Should Use Task Progress Automation?
- Project managers needing a real-time completion percentage for every project in the portfolio.
- Consultants sharing live progress dashboards with clients rather than writing weekly updates.
- Product teams tracking feature-build completion across engineering and design workstreams.
- Grant-funded non-profits reporting deliverable progress to funders with documented evidence.
- Educators monitoring student assignment completion across a course cohort.
How To Set Up Task Progress Automation?
- Visit Automate and clone the Progress Tracker template.
- Prompt Taskade Genesis — "roll up subtask completions into parent task progress and alert stakeholders at 50% and 100%."
- The app creates progress fields, rollup logic, and milestone notification rules instantly.
- Switch to the Gantt view on AI Apps to see progress bars alongside the timeline.
- Link the progress database to client records using Databases for a fully relational project tracker.
