Hello Taskaders! 🌟
Discover a new way to interact with your files, craft projects with AI on-the-go, and streamline your media management. Enjoy and have fun!
TL;DR: AI File Chat, AI Project Studio, and the Media Manager shipped in 2023 were early steps toward today’s Taskade — now with 7 project views, 15+ frontier AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, and 100+ integrations. Taskade Genesis turns any prompt into a living app powered by your workspace.
Then → Now: Chatting with PDFs in 2023 evolved into today’s AI knowledge sources — docs, web, YouTube, PDFs, and OCR feeding AI Agents v2 and Taskade Genesis. See agent guides and the community gallery for live examples.

📂 From File Chat to Workspace DNA
In September 2023, "chat with your docs" meant attaching a PDF and asking questions one chat at a time. By 2026 the same gesture wires into Workspace DNA — the memory layer that feeds every agent, automation, and Taskade Genesis app in the workspace.
