We have an exciting update to help you kick-start your week. Enjoy!
TL;DR: Project emoji icons and Monday calendar formatting shipped in 2021 set the foundation for today's Taskade — now with multiple project views, frontier AI models, and 100+ integrations. Taskade Genesis turns any prompt into a living app powered by your workspace, with AI Agents handling the busywork.
In 2021 a calendar was a pane. In 2026 your calendar is a trigger: any event can fire an Automation, wake up an AI Agent, or update a Genesis app page.
