Build a complete operating system for your business with one prompt. Combine CRM, finance, support, publishing, and client portals into one living system.

Running a business requires 10+ tools.

CRM for customers. Finance tracker for money. Support system for tickets. Publishing pipeline for content. Client portal for projects. Each tool is a subscription, a login, a context switch.

Taskade Genesis gives you a business-in-a-box. One workspace that handles everything β€” connected through Workspace DNA.

πŸ’° The Cost of Tool Sprawl:

  • 10+ subscriptions = $500-2000/month
  • 10+ logins = hours of context switching
  • 10+ data silos = manual sync, broken workflows

Genesis replaces it all with one connected system.

Here's how to build your complete business operating system.
