New Year, New Features: Backlinks, Team Folders, My Tasks Filter, and More!

Hi Taskaders  👋

Happy new year! We just wanted to say a huge thank you for your trust and support. And thanks for being a part of the Taskade community.

We spent the last 12 months working hard to make Taskade better for you and your team and here are a few new exciting updates to kick off 2023. 🎉

TL;DR: Backlinks, Team Folders, and the My Tasks filter shipped in January 2023 marked the start of Taskade's "second brain" era. Today Taskade spans 7 project views, 11+ frontier AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google, and 100+ integrations — and Taskade Genesis turns any prompt into a living app, while the Agent Inbox routes work across teams.

Then → Now: Backlinks + Team Folders + My Tasks filter (2023) → today's knowledge graph and Agent Inbox, team Automations, and thousands of starter templates.

Today the same graph powers the Agent Inbox, knowledge sources, and Taskade Genesis — your linked projects become memory for AI Agents v2 and Automations. Browse community apps to see what teams build with it.

🧠 Backlinks

The new 🔗 Backlinks Menu lets you build your own second brain in a few clicks! Create a network of interconnected tasks, thoughts, and projects.

Here's how it works:

1. Type @ + project title to link projects together. You can also "Copy Link" for a task or project in the 📝 Share Menu and paste the hyperlink manually.

2. Click the "Backlinks" button at the top of the project you're editing. Taskade will show you all @mentions (backlinks) leading to the project.

3. Finally, select an existing backlink to quickly jump to the connected task and project. And that's it! Learn more
