Hi Taskaders!Β π
We are thrilled to announce the beta launch of **[Taskade AI](https://www.taskade.com/learn/agents/ai-chat)**. π€
> **TL;DR:** December 2022 was the moment Taskade became an AI-native workspace. Taskade AI launched as a beta assistant β and seeded the entire product line that followed: AI Agents v1 (2023), Agents v2 with [built-in tools](https://www.taskade.com/agents) (2024), and today's [Taskade Genesis](https://www.taskade.com/create) building living apps from a single prompt with [100+ integrations](https://www.taskade.com/integrations) and [Automations](https://www.taskade.com/automate).
**Watch the arc from AI assistant β Workspace DNA** β a 3-minute explainer on how the 2022 `/ai` commands grew into today's self-reinforcing Memory β Intelligence β Execution loop:

*The [Workspace DNA model](https://www.taskade.com/learn/genesis/workspace-dna) is the direct descendant of these five `/ai` commands β read it once and the rest of this post clicks into place.*

The five commands above were the seed crystal. Every later release β [Custom AI Agents](https://www.taskade.com/agents), [Multi-Agent Teams](https://www.taskade.com/learn/agents/ai-teams), [built-in tools](https://www.taskade.com/learn/agents/agent-tools), and [Taskade Genesis](https://www.taskade.com/create) β grew from this same `/ai` slash command grammar. If you're starting fresh today, skip the five commands and jump straight to [building your first Genesis app](https://www.taskade.com/learn/genesis/first-app), then layer on [custom agents with persistent memory](https://www.taskade.com/learn/agents/custom-agents) once you know what you want to automate. See it in action in the [Community Gallery](https://www.taskade.com/apps) or build your first app at [/create](https://www.taskade.com/create).
