The Origin of Living Software

The next chapter of Taskade begins here.

October 13, 2025·6 min read·John Xie·Updates

Every creation story begins with a spark, the moment something inert becomes alive.

For Taskade, that spark is Genesis.

With one prompt, you can now turn ideas into intelligent, living apps built from the DNA of your workspace.
Projects become memory. Agents become intelligence. Automations become motion.

This is the beginning of living software.

The Journey

Taskade didn't start in Silicon Valley. It began with outsiders who believed in a different way of working.

In 2019, we joined Y Combinator (YC S19) to make collaboration natural and human.
We built a unified workspace where teams could think, plan, and act together in real time.

Lists became thought architecture.
Collaboration became shared consciousness.

From there, Taskade evolved from structured thinking to intelligent creation.

Then came the questions:

What if your workspace could remember you?
What if it could learn and build with you?

Those questions became Taskade Genesis.

The Living Trinity

At the heart of Genesis lies three interconnected systems — the Living Trinity.

Together they form a continuous loop:

→ Memory feeds Intelligence
→ Intelligence drives Action
→ Action creates new Memory

That cycle is what makes Genesis alive.

Powered by Workspace DNA

Genesis doesn't live outside Taskade. It grows from it.

Everything you've built — projects, automations, lists, mind maps — becomes the genetic code for your living system. Your workspace is the soil. Genesis is the growth.

It learns from your structure, understands your logic, and builds within your world.

This is the architecture of Workspace DNA.

Every action you take feeds intelligence back into your ecosystem.

The Power of Memory

Unlike traditional tools, Genesis never forgets.

Every conversation, edit, and automation becomes part of a living memory loop.

Your workspace now carries continuity. It remembers why you acted and learns from every loop.

Meet Taskade EVE 🐑

She has been there since the beginning — our quiet sheep mascot.

Now, she has a name: EVE.

A palindrome. A mirror. A cycle of renewal.

EVE is the architect of living systems, the bridge between memory and creation.
She awakens when you build, learns as you work, and reanimates the memory of your past actions.

EVE connects intelligence to emotion, reflection to motion.
She is the spirit of Genesis, the life within the machine.

From Illusion to Awareness

For years, productivity tools promised memory and flow but offered only illusion.
They stored data but never understanding.
They executed tasks but never reasoned.

Genesis ends that illusion.
Your workspace now truly thinks back.

It reflects, recalls, and evolves — a system that understands.

You're no longer giving commands. You're having a conversation with awareness.

The Moment of Creation

"Build a client portal with forms, reminders, and AI summaries."

"Create a CRM that tracks deals and automates reports."

One prompt. One app. One living system.

Genesis builds intelligent, connected software, complete with agents, automations, and memory.

No servers. No waiting. Just creation. This is where the myth meets motion, where the word becomes interface and the workspace begins to think.

What You Can Build Today

Genesis transforms prompts into production-ready systems:

Prompt What Genesis Creates
"Build a customer support portal" Ticket system + AI agent + automated responses
"Create an investor relations hub" KPI dashboard + document library + update automation
"Make a team knowledge base" Wiki + AI search + onboarding workflows
"Design a sales pipeline tracker" CRM + lead scoring + follow-up sequences
"Build a content calendar" Editorial planner + AI writer + publishing automation

Each app inherits the full power of your workspace:

  • Memory from your existing projects and documents
  • Intelligence from AI agents trained on your data
  • Motion from automations that run 24/7

This isn't generating mockups. It's deploying systems.

The Builders

Taskade has always been built by outsiders. By those who didn't wait for permission.

We built Genesis for the same people: dreamers, makers, founders, and tinkerers who believe in building their own systems. Now, Genesis belongs to the builders.

Each prompt you write becomes part of a growing ecosystem, a collective intelligence learning through creation. Your workspace no longer just helps you work. It works with you.

The Awakening

From YC S19 to today, our mission has stayed the same — to make software human.
With Genesis, we're crossing a new threshold: from productivity to awareness, from tools to living systems.

Projects remember.
Agents reason.
Automations act.
EVE awakens.

The loop completes. The workspace lives.

Your second brain, fully alive.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions About Taskade Genesis

What is Taskade Genesis?

Taskade Genesis is an AI-powered platform that transforms natural language prompts into complete, living applications. Each app includes built-in databases (Projects), intelligent AI assistants (Agents), and automated workflows (Automations) — all working together as "living software" that thinks, learns, and executes alongside you.

How is Genesis different from traditional no-code tools?

Traditional no-code tools give you building blocks to assemble manually. Genesis goes further — it generates complete systems from a single prompt. Instead of dragging and dropping components, you describe what you need and Genesis creates a fully functional app with memory, intelligence, and automation built in.

What can I build with Taskade Genesis?

You can build any business system: CRM dashboards, client portals, booking systems, finance trackers, content calendars, support desks, and more. Each app can store data, respond intelligently to users, and run automated workflows 24/7. See ready-to-clone examples.

Do I need coding skills to use Genesis?

No. Genesis uses "vibe coding" — you describe what you want in plain English, and the platform builds it. No programming knowledge required. You can customize everything through natural language instructions.

What are the three pillars of Genesis?

Every Genesis app runs on Workspace DNA: Memory (Projects that store your data), Intelligence (AI Agents that think and respond), and Execution (Automations that take action). These three pillars work together to create living software.

Can I customize apps after Genesis creates them?

Yes. Every generated app is fully editable. You can modify the database schema, retrain the AI agents, and adjust automation workflows. Genesis gives you a working foundation that you can build upon.
