Hi Taskaders 👋
Tired of repeating tasks manually? Then this update is for you! ⚡️
TL;DR: The 2020 recurring-tasks release planted the seed for Taskade Automations — now reliable workflows with branching, looping, and 100+ integrations. Combined with 15+ frontier AI models and multiple project views, Taskade Genesis turns any prompt into a living app that schedules and executes work for you.
Then → Now: Daily/weekly recurring tasks evolved into Automations with reliable workflow execution and native desktop apps — see Learn Taskade: Automation for current triggers.

| Desktop access | System tray / menu bar widget | Full native desktop app + agent inbox |
| Triggers | Time-based recurrence only | 12+ triggers: schedule, email, comment, task added, due date, RSS, forms |
| Intelligence | None (no AI yet) | 15+ frontier models drive AI actions inside automations |
