What Is Taskade Genesis?
Taskade Genesis is a no-code AI app builder that turns a text prompt into a complete, deployable web application in 2 to 15 minutes. The app you get is not a prototype or a wireframe. It is a production-ready system with a responsive UI, a structured database, embedded AI agents, and automated workflows.
Genesis launched in October 2025 as the biggest product leap in Taskade's 8-year history. It builds on the platform's existing capabilities — real-time collaboration, AI agents, and workflow automation — and connects them into a single creation flow.
Here is what changes when you build with Taskade Genesis instead of the traditional way:
| The old way | With Taskade Genesis |
|---|---|
| Write specs, wireframes, and database schemas | Describe your needs like talking to a colleague |
| Hire developers, configure servers, manage environments | Your idea becomes a working app in minutes |
| Debug APIs, handle auth, coordinate teams | Changes happen through conversation |
| Implement SSL, security audits, vulnerability scans | Security and hosting are handled automatically |
| Maintain servers, apply patches, monitor performance | Focus on your business — infrastructure is invisible |
| Months of development, testing, and deployment | Start getting real user feedback today |
Here is what makes it different from every other app builder on the market:
- One prompt = one app. Describe your business problem in plain English. Genesis architects the entire solution.
- Apps are alive. They are not static code exports. They run on Taskade's infrastructure, powered by your workspace data, and they improve as your workspace grows.
- No code, no configuration, no deployment steps. Your app is live the moment it is built. Share the URL and users can start interacting immediately.
- AI agents are embedded by default. Every Genesis app can include custom AI agents that understand your business context, trained on your documents and projects.
- Automations connect everything. Workflows trigger on events, connect to 100+ external services, and use AI agents as intelligent decision-makers within the flow.
Genesis is not just an app builder. It is an agent hosting platform for living AI systems. That distinction matters because it means your apps do not just display information — they think, act, and evolve.
Genesis as a Vibe Coding Platform
Vibe coding — the term coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025 — describes building software by describing what you want instead of writing code. Genesis takes vibe coding further than any other platform:
- Text to app, not text to code. Tools like Bolt.new, Lovable, and Cursor generate code files you must deploy yourself. Genesis generates complete, deployed applications.
- Living output. Vibe coding with Genesis produces apps that self-improve through the Workspace DNA feedback loop.
- No IDE required. Unlike developer-focused vibe coding tools, Genesis is designed for business teams — no terminal, no Git, no configuration.
- Built-in intelligence. Every Genesis app can embed custom AI agents, making it the only vibe coding platform where your apps can think, not just display.
MIT Technology Review included vibe coding in its "10 Breakthrough Technologies 2025" list. Taskade Genesis takes it from text-to-code to text-to-app — and beyond:
| Concept | What it means | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Vibe Coding | Describe your app → it builds itself | "Build me a booking system" → live app in minutes |
| Vibe Payments | Stripe-powered payment flows triggered by automations | Customer pays → receipt sent → record updated → Slack notified |
| Vibe Workflows | Forms and requests that create automated processes | New client submits form → welcome email → onboarding checklist → agent assigned |
| Vibe Marketing | Content aggregation and cross-platform publishing | RSS triggers → AI summarizes → posts to LinkedIn, X, and Slack |
| Vibe Tracking | Leads and data synced across tools via webhooks | HubSpot deal closes → Google Sheets updated → Slack celebration → follow-up task created |
If you are looking for the best AI app builder that brings vibe coding to non-developers, Taskade Genesis is it.
"Software should be alive. And now, it is." — The Taskade Genesis Manifesto

How Genesis Works: The Workspace DNA Architecture
Every Taskade workspace has a unique Workspace DNA — the combination of your projects, agents, and automations that forms the genetic code of your working environment. Genesis reads this DNA to build apps that are pre-connected to your existing data and workflows.
This is the fundamental architectural difference between Genesis and every other app builder. Other tools start from a blank canvas. Genesis starts from your workspace.
The Tree of Life
Genesis is built on a three-pillar architecture called the Tree of Life:
| Pillar | Component | Role | What It Powers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Memory | Projects and Databases | Data storage and knowledge base | Structured data, custom fields, 8 views, relationships |
| Intelligence | AI Agents v2 | Reasoning and decision-making | Custom tools, persistent memory, multi-model AI |
| Execution | Automations | Workflows and actions | 100+ integrations, branching logic, durable execution |
These three pillars work together in a continuous feedback loop:
- Memory feeds Intelligence. Agents read your project data to understand context.
- Intelligence triggers Execution. Agents make decisions that activate automation workflows.
- Execution creates Memory. Automations write results back into projects, enriching the data.
This loop is what makes Genesis apps "living." They are not static — they improve as more data flows through the system.
For a deeper dive into this architecture, see the Workspace DNA guide.
The Workspace Intelligence Score
Your workspace earns an Intelligence Score from 0 to 100, measured across three dimensions:
| Component | Points | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Each project | +2 points | More data for Genesis to draw from |
| Each AI agent | +10 points | More intelligence available to apps |
| Each automation | +5 points | More execution capabilities |
The score maps to five tiers:
| Score | Tier | Genesis Output Quality |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Empty | Basic app from prompt only |
| 1-25 | Starter | Apps with basic context |
| 26-50 | Builder | Apps with moderate data integration |
| 51-75 | Expert | Rich apps with agent + automation integration |
| 76-100 | Genius | Maximum quality — apps use your full workspace DNA |
Media: Files as Living Knowledge
Every file you upload becomes part of your Workspace DNA — not just stored, but actively understood. PDFs, documents, images, spreadsheets, and screenshots all feed into your AI agents' knowledge and your app's UI.
| File Type | How Genesis Uses It |
|---|---|
| PDFs & Documents | Agents read, summarize, and answer questions about them |
| Spreadsheets (CSV, XLSX) | Import as project databases with custom fields auto-detected |
| Images & Screenshots | Used in app UI, listings, and as visual context for generation |
| YouTube Videos | Auto-transcribed and added to agent knowledge |
| Cloud Storage (Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive) | Linked as live knowledge sources |
Upload a product catalog PDF, and your support agent can answer questions about every product. Import a client CSV, and your CRM app has data from day one. This is how Workspace DNA accumulates — every file makes your apps smarter.
The takeaway: The richer your workspace, the better your Taskade Genesis apps. Before building your first app, populate your workspace with relevant projects, upload key documents, train a few agents, and set up some automations.
EVE: The Unified Intelligence
EVE is the unified intelligence system that orchestrates everything inside Genesis. When you type a prompt, EVE:
- Analyzes your prompt and extracts requirements
- Scans your Workspace DNA for relevant data
- Architects the application structure (UI, database schema, agent configuration, automation flows)
- Generates the complete app with all components connected
- Deploys it instantly with a shareable URL
You interact with EVE through natural language. There are no configuration screens, no drag-and-drop editors, and no settings panels. You describe what you want, and EVE builds it.

EVE's chat modes: EVE can switch between different interaction modes depending on your needs — from quick iterations to deep architectural planning.

The Three Pillars: Memory, Intelligence, Execution
Understanding the three pillars is essential to getting the most out of Taskade Genesis. Each pillar is a complete system on its own, but their power comes from how they interconnect.
If you've used everyday tools, you already understand the pillars:
| Pillar | In plain English | If you've ever... |
|---|---|---|
| Memory (Projects) | Your workspace's living filing cabinet — but it updates itself | ...used a spreadsheet, you can use Projects |
| Intelligence (Agents) | A colleague who read every document you ever wrote | ...described a task to a coworker, you can train an Agent |
| Execution (Automations) | Email rules — but for anything in your business | ...set up an email filter, you can build a Flow |
| Interface (App UI) | A custom dashboard — but you spoke it into existence | ...sketched an idea on a napkin, you can build an App |
3 pillars × 3 capabilities each = 9 cells — 1 living system. That's Workspace DNA.
Memory: Projects and Databases
Projects are the memory layer of your workspace. They store structured data with custom fields, support 8 different views, and serve as the knowledge foundation for AI agents.
8 Project Views:
| View | Best For |
|---|---|
| List | Linear task tracking, checklists, outlines |
| Board | Kanban workflows, pipeline management, status tracking |
| Table | Spreadsheet-style data, bulk editing, custom fields |
| Mind Map | Brainstorming, idea mapping, hierarchical thinking |
| Gantt Chart | Timeline planning, dependencies, resource allocation |
| Calendar | Time-based planning, scheduling, deadlines |
| Timeline | Sequential timeline visualization, milestone tracking |
| Org Chart | Team structures, hierarchies, reporting lines |
Custom Field Types:
| Field Type | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Text | Names, descriptions, notes |
| Number | Quantities, prices, scores |
| Date | Deadlines, milestones, timestamps |
| Select | Status, category, priority (single choice) |
| Multi-Select | Tags, labels, multiple categories |
| Checkbox | Boolean flags, completion states |
| URL | Links, references, external resources |
| Person | Assignees, owners, reviewers |
When Genesis creates an app, it auto-generates the optimal database schema based on your prompt. You can then customize fields, add relationships between databases, and import data from CSV, XLSX, or via API.
Intelligence: AI Agents v2
AI Agents are the intelligence layer. They are not chatbots — they are programmable digital teammates with persistent memory, custom tools, and the ability to take real actions across your workspace and external systems.

Create Your First App in Minutes
Building your first Taskade Genesis app takes four steps. For a step-by-step walkthrough, see the Create Your First App tutorial.
Choose Your Creation Mode
You don't have to build everything at once. Pick the mode that matches what you need right now:
| Mode | What it builds | Best for | Example prompt |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genesis | Full living app (UI + database + agents + automations) | "Build me a complete solution" | "Build a client portal with intake forms and AI support" |
| Project | Database with views and custom fields | "I need to track something" | "Create a product inventory with stock levels" |
| Agents | AI assistant trained on your data | "I need smart answers" | "Create a support agent trained on our FAQ" |
| Automation | Workflow connecting triggers to actions | "When X happens, do Y" | "When a form is submitted, notify Slack and create a task" |
Start with the layer that solves your problem today. You can always add more layers later.
Step 1: Start with an Idea
Go to taskade.com/genesis and describe your app in plain English. Be specific about what the app should do, who will use it, and what data it should manage.
Good prompt example:
"Build a client onboarding portal for my marketing agency. Include an intake form for new clients, a project status dashboard, automated welcome emails via Gmail, and an AI assistant trained on our service catalog that can answer client questions."
Too vague:
"Build me a business app."
Step 2: Choose Your AI Model
Select the AI model that will power the generation. Different models have different strengths and credit costs:

| Model | Credits | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Gemini 2.5 Flash | 6 | Quick iterations, simple apps |
| Claude Sonnet 4 | 60 | Balanced quality and cost (recommended for most apps) |
| Claude Opus 4.5 | 300 | Complex apps requiring deep reasoning |
| GPT-5.2 | 150 | Creative applications, content-heavy apps |
Step 3: Review and Iterate
Genesis builds your app and presents it for review. You can:
- Chat to iterate: "Add a file upload field to the intake form" or "Make the dashboard show data from the last 30 days"
- Refine the design: "Use a dark theme with blue accents" or "Make it glassmorphism style"
- Connect data: "Link this to my existing Clients project" or "Train the AI agent on our FAQ document"
Each iteration creates a new version. You can restore any previous version at any time.

Step 4: Publish and Share
Click Publish to make your app live. Choose a visibility setting:
| Visibility | Who Can Access | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Public | Anyone with the link | Customer-facing apps, marketing tools |
| Secret | Anyone with the exact link (not discoverable) | Internal tools, beta testing |
| Private | Only workspace members | Sensitive business applications |
Your app gets a URL immediately. Share it via email, social media, embed it on your website, or publish it to the Community Gallery.

Time to value:
| App Complexity | Time |
|---|---|
| Simple (forms, trackers, calculators) | 2-5 minutes |
| Medium (dashboards, portals, CRMs) | 5-10 minutes |
| Complex (multi-agent systems, advanced automations) | 10-15 minutes |
| Enterprise (access controls, integrations, custom domains) | 15-30 minutes |
The Makers Guide to AI Prompts
The quality of your Genesis app depends on the quality of your prompt. Here are 12 principles for writing prompts that produce great results.
The 12 Prompt Principles
| # | Principle | What to Include | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Define objectives | What should the app accomplish? | "Manage all client invoices and track payment status" |
| 2 | Describe outcomes | What does success look like? | "Clients can view their invoices, pay online, and receive automated receipts" |
| 3 | Map the user journey | Who uses it and how? | "New clients fill out intake form → admin reviews → system sends welcome email" |
| 4 | Break down features | List specific capabilities | "Include: invoice creation, payment tracking, overdue alerts, monthly reports" |
| 5 | Specify tools | What integrations are needed? | "Connect to Stripe for payments and Gmail for notifications" |
| 6 | Set the tone | How should the AI agent communicate? | "Professional but friendly, like a senior account manager" |
| 7 | Define look and feel | Visual style preferences | "Clean, minimalist design with a dark sidebar and blue accents" |
| 8 | Set access controls | Who can see what? | "Clients see only their own invoices; admins see everything" |
| 9 | Plan for iteration | What might change? | "Start simple, then add payment reminders and late fees later" |
| 10 | Provide references | Upload examples, docs, wireframes | "Here is a screenshot of our current spreadsheet-based system" |
| 11 | Give examples | Show sample data or scenarios | "Example client: Acme Corp, $5,000 monthly retainer, net-30 terms" |
| 12 | Encourage experimentation | Try different approaches | "Generate two versions: one focused on self-serve, one admin-heavy" |
Prompt Anatomy Quick Reference
A complete prompt has five parts:
1. WHO: "Build a [app type] for [audience]"
2. WHAT: "It should [core features]"
3. HOW: "When [trigger], then [action]"
4. LOOK: "Use a [style] design with [specific elements]"
5. CONNECT: "Integrate with [tools/data sources]"
Full prompt example:
"Build a help desk application for my SaaS product support team. It should include a ticket submission form for customers, automatic ticket routing based on issue category, an AI agent trained on our documentation that attempts to resolve common issues before escalating to humans, a Kanban board for the support team to manage tickets, SLA tracking with automated alerts when tickets approach deadlines, and integration with Slack to notify the team of high-priority tickets. Use a clean, professional design with a light theme. Customers should only see their own tickets. Support agents should see all tickets assigned to them. Managers should see everything plus analytics."
Common Mistakes
| Mistake | Why It Fails | Better Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Too vague ("make me an app") | No direction for Genesis to follow | Describe the specific problem and desired outcome |
| Too technical ("use React with a PostgreSQL backend") | Genesis handles architecture decisions | Describe what, not how |
| Too long (2,000+ words) | Signal-to-noise ratio drops | Focus on requirements, not implementation details |
| No user context | App does not match audience needs | Specify who will use it and how |
App Styles, Design, and Customization
Genesis apps are built with 50+ pre-built UI components and support extensive visual customization through natural language prompts.
Built-in Style Options
| Style | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Minimalist | Clean lines, generous whitespace, muted palette | Professional tools, SaaS dashboards |
| Material Design | Card-based, elevation shadows, Google-inspired | Business apps, productivity tools |
| Glassmorphism | Frosted glass effect, translucent panels | Modern consumer apps, landing pages |
| Neumorphism | Soft shadows, embossed elements | Creative portfolios, lifestyle apps |
| Dark Mode | Dark backgrounds, light text, reduced eye strain | Developer tools, media apps, late-night use |
| Hand-Drawn | Sketch-style borders, informal typography | Educational tools, creative projects |
| Retro | Pixel fonts, neon accents, nostalgic palette | Entertainment, gaming, community apps |
| Bold & Gradient | Vibrant gradients, large typography | Marketing tools, event pages |
Industry-Specific Styles
| Industry | Recommended Style | Color Palette | Typography |
|---|---|---|---|
| Healthcare | Clean, high-contrast, accessible | Blue, white, green | Clear sans-serif |
| Finance | Professional, data-dense, trustworthy | Navy, gold, gray | Structured serif/sans |
| Legal | Conservative, authoritative, readable | Dark blue, charcoal, cream | Traditional serif |
| Creative | Expressive, visual-first, dynamic | Brand-specific | Display + body pairing |
| Education | Friendly, organized, engaging | Warm blues, greens, yellows | Rounded, readable |
| SaaS | Modern, clean, conversion-focused | Brand primary + neutral | System font stack |
Customization Through Chat
You don't need to select styles from a menu. Just describe what you want:
- "Make the sidebar dark and the main content area light"
- "Use our brand colors: #FF2D60 as primary and #1A1A2E as background"
- "Add a hero section with a gradient from blue to purple"
- "Make it mobile-first with large touch targets"
- "Add a floating AI chat widget in the bottom right corner"
Adding Context for Better Design
Upload files to improve design output:
| File Type | What Genesis Extracts |
|---|---|
| Brand guidelines (PDF) | Colors, fonts, logo usage, spacing rules |
| Wireframes (PNG/JPG) | Layout structure, component placement |
| Competitor screenshots | Design patterns, feature inspiration |
| Spreadsheets (CSV/XLSX) | Data structure for auto-generating schemas |
| Existing docs (DOCX/MD) | Content, terminology, tone |
Supported upload formats: PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD, PPTX, XLSX, CSV, EPUB, PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG, WebP. Cloud storage integrations: Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive.
Live Theming & Element Selector
Genesis apps support live theming — adjust colors, styles, and branding in real time without leaving the editor. The Element Selector lets you point at any part of your app and tell the AI exactly what to change. Every change renders instantly in the preview pane so you can see exactly how your app looks before publishing.
How it works:
- Open any Genesis app in the editor
- Use the theme bar to adjust colors, typography, and layout
- Watch changes apply live in the preview — no page reload required
- Toggle between light and dark mode variants with one click
- Publish when you are happy with the result
Dark mode is not an afterthought. As of v6.125.0, the theme bar applies proper dark mode color variants automatically. Your app ships with polished light and dark themes out of the box — no manual color tuning needed.
| Theming Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Live preview | Instant visual feedback as you adjust styles |
| Dark mode variants | Automatic dark color palette generation |
| Brand colors | Apply your brand hex codes across the entire app |
| Typography | Adjust font families, sizes, and weights |
| Component styling | Customize buttons, cards, inputs, and navigation |
| White-label 404 pages | Published apps show branded 404 pages instead of generic errors |
Pro tip: Combine live theming with chat-based iteration. Use the theme bar for quick color and mode changes, then chat with EVE for structural design adjustments like "move the sidebar to the right" or "add a hero section with a gradient."
AI Agents v2: Your Programmable Digital Teammates
AI Agents v2 is the most powerful feature in the Taskade ecosystem. These are not simple chatbots that respond to questions. They are programmable agents with persistent memory, custom tools, and the ability to take autonomous actions across your workspace and external systems.
What Makes Agents v2 Different
| Feature | Traditional Chatbots | Taskade Agents v2 |
|---|---|---|
| Memory | Resets each session | Persistent across all 11+ models — learns over time |
| Tools | No tool access | 22+ built-in tools + custom tools from automation flows |
| Actions | Text responses only | Can create tasks, send emails, update databases, trigger workflows |
| Knowledge | General training data only | Custom-trained on your documents, projects, URLs, and media |
| Deployment | Embedded widget | Chat, project, commands, public sharing, Genesis embed, API, MCP |
| Models | Single model | Multi-model — choose different models per agent |
| Collaboration | Single agent | Multi-agent teams with orchestration patterns |
Here is how the agent interaction flow works in practice:
For a step-by-step setup guide, see the Custom AI Agents tutorial.
Creating an Agent
Four methods to create agents:
| Method | Description | Time |
|---|---|---|
| From scratch | Configure name, persona, knowledge, tools manually | 5-10 minutes |
| Generate with AI | Describe the agent's role and let AI configure it | 1-2 minutes |
| Templates | Start from a pre-built agent template | Under 1 minute |
| Via EVE | Ask EVE to create an agent as part of a Genesis app | Automatic |
Agent Configuration
| Setting | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Name | Agent identity | "Sophia — Client Success Manager" |
| Persona | Role and behavior description | "You are a senior client success manager who is professional, empathetic, and solution-oriented" |
| Tone | Communication style | Professional, Friendly, Technical, Casual |
| Introduction | First message to users | "Hi! I'm Sophia, your dedicated account manager. How can I help?" |
| Knowledge | Training data sources | Company docs, FAQs, product catalog, service agreements |
| Tools | Available actions | Gmail send, Slack notify, CRM update, web search |
| Model | AI model selection | Claude Sonnet 4 for reasoning, GPT-5.2 for creativity |
Training Agents with Knowledge
Agents become powerful when trained on your specific data:
| Knowledge Source | Description | Update Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Documents | PDF, CSV, TXT, DOCX, MD, PPTX, XLSX, EPUB | Static — re-upload to update |
| Projects | Connect Taskade projects as knowledge | Dynamic — auto-updates when project changes |
| URLs | Web pages and documentation | Static snapshot at training time |
| YouTube | Video transcriptions | Static — transcribed at training time |
| Cloud Storage | Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive files | Static — fetched at connection time |
| Manual | Custom text entries | Editable anytime |
Dynamic knowledge via projects is especially powerful. When you connect a project as a knowledge source, the agent's understanding updates in real-time as the project changes. This means agents always have the latest information without manual re-training.

Multi-Agent Teams
For complex tasks, create teams of specialized agents that collaborate:
| Architecture Pattern | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Sequential Pipeline | Agent A processes, passes to Agent B | Research → Draft → Edit → Publish |
| Hub and Spoke | Coordinator agent delegates to specialists | Manager routes requests to Sales, Support, or Engineering agents |
| Parallel Fan-Out | Multiple agents work simultaneously | Three agents analyze the same data from different perspectives |
| Debate/Review | Agents review each other's work | Writer drafts, Reviewer critiques, Writer revises |
| Escalation Chain | Agents handle based on complexity | Tier 1 handles simple queries, escalates to Tier 2, then Tier 3 |
Example: Content Marketing Team
Create a three-agent team:
- Research Agent — Trained on industry publications, uses web search tool, finds trending topics
- Writer Agent — Trained on your brand guidelines and past content, drafts articles matching your voice
- SEO Agent — Trained on your keyword targets, optimizes drafts for search ranking
Ask the team: "Create a blog post about the top 10 AI trends for small businesses in 2026." The Research Agent finds current data, the Writer Agent drafts the article, and the SEO Agent optimizes it — all within your workspace.
Agent Tools and Integrations
| Tool Category | Tools Available |
|---|---|
| Taskade Native | Create/update/complete tasks, manage projects, add comments, assign members, update custom fields |
| Cross-Agent | agent.ask (query another agent), agentTeam.ask (query a team) |
| Web & Media | Web search, webpage extraction, YouTube transcription, PDF processing |
| Communication | Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, SMS, Zoom |
| Gmail (send, find, draft), Outlook | |
| CRM | HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo |
| Productivity | Google Sheets, Google Calendar, Calendly, Typeform, Airtable |
| Social Media | Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit |
| Development | GitHub, Webhooks |
| Payments | Stripe |
| Storage | Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive |
| Custom | Build custom tools from automation flows |
Human-in-the-loop: For sensitive external actions (sending emails, posting to social media, making payments), agents can be configured to request human approval before executing.

Universal Agent Memory
As of v6.124.0, persistent memory works across all 11+ frontier models. Previously, the memory tool was limited to specific models. Now every agent retains context across conversations regardless of which model powers it — OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.
This means you can:
- Switch an agent from Claude Sonnet 4 to GPT-5.2 without losing accumulated context
- Build multi-model agent teams where every agent remembers prior interactions
- Choose the cheapest model for a task without sacrificing long-term memory
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Universal Agent Memory │
├──────────┬──────────┬──────────┬────────────────┤
│ OpenAI │Anthropic │ Google │ Memory Layer │
│ GPT │Claude │Gemini │ ───────────── │
│ │ │ │ Shared across │
│ │ │ │ all models │
└──────────┴──────────┴──────────┴────────────────┘
There are no model-specific caveats or limitations. Every agent, on every model, gets full persistent memory.
Mobile Agent Panel
Starting with v6.125.0, the agent panel is fully optimized for phones and tablets. You get the complete agent chat experience on mobile — review responses, manage workflows, and interact with your agents from anywhere.
Combined with the mobile element selector from v6.122.0, you can tap any UI element in your Genesis app on your phone and it appears as a clean visual pill in the agent chat. This makes mobile iteration fast and precise.
| Mobile Agent Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Full agent chat | Complete chat functionality on phones and tablets |

Multi-Model AI: 11+ Models, 3 Providers, Zero Lock-In
Taskade is the only workspace platform that gives you access to 11+ AI models from three major providers. This means you can choose the right model for each task, agent, and workflow.
Available Models
| Provider | Model | Credits | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| OpenAI | GPT-5.2 | 150 | Creative writing, content generation, brainstorming |
| OpenAI | GPT-5.1 | 120 | General-purpose, reliable quality |
| OpenAI | o3 | 200 | Complex reasoning, math, logic |
| OpenAI | o4-mini | 25 | Quick reasoning tasks, cost-effective |
| Anthropic | Claude Opus 4.5 | 300 | Maximum reasoning depth, nuanced analysis |
| Anthropic | Claude Sonnet 4 | 60 | Best quality-to-cost ratio, recommended default |
| Anthropic | Claude Haiku 3.5 | 8 | Fast responses, simple tasks |
| Gemini 3 Pro | 80 | Multimodal, long context, free tier default | |
| Gemini 2.5 Pro | 60 | Balanced multimodal performance | |
| Gemini 2.5 Flash | 6 | Ultra-fast, cheapest option for iterations | |
| Gemini 2.0 Flash | 4 | Legacy fast model |
Model Selection Strategy
| Task | Recommended Approach | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Building initial Genesis apps | Balanced model (e.g., Anthropic Claude) | Best balance of quality and cost |
| Quick design iterations | Lightweight model (e.g., Google Gemini Flash) | Faster and more cost-effective for styling tweaks |
| Complex business logic | Advanced reasoning model | Deepest reasoning for sophisticated requirements |
| Content-heavy apps | Creative model (e.g., OpenAI GPT) | Strong creative and writing capabilities |
| Simple lookups and edits | Fast model (e.g., Anthropic Haiku) | Fast, affordable, sufficient for simple tasks |
| Cost-conscious production | Lightweight model | Lowest credit cost per interaction |
| Mathematical or logical apps | Reasoning model (e.g., OpenAI o-series) | Specialized reasoning architecture |
AI Thinking Modes
Every model supports four thinking modes that control how deeply the AI reasons before responding:
| Mode | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Fast, direct responses | Routine tasks, quick edits, simple questions |
| Thinking | Deeper analysis before answering | Complex questions, planning, detailed explanations |
| Reasoning | Step-by-step logic chain | Multi-step problems, debugging, architectural decisions |
| Auto | Picks the best mode automatically | When you're not sure — let the AI decide |
Thinking and Reasoning modes use additional credits but produce noticeably better results for complex tasks. You can switch modes anytime from the model selector.
Per-Agent Model Selection
You can assign different AI models to different agents in the same workspace. Your support agent can run on a fast, affordable model for quick answers, while your research agent uses a premium model for deep analysis.
This means you're never locked into a single model — you optimize cost and quality per use case, not per workspace.
Key advantage: Switch models at any time, even mid-build. Start with a powerful model for the initial generation, then switch to a cheaper model for iterative tweaks.
Projects as Databases: The Memory Pillar Deep Dive
In Genesis, Taskade projects are not just task lists — they are structured databases that serve as the memory layer for your applications. (Want the full picture? See the Projects & Databases deep dive.)
How Projects Become Databases
When Genesis creates an app, it auto-generates projects with:
- Custom fields tailored to your data requirements
- Optimized views for different user personas (Table for admins, Board for workflows, Calendar for scheduling)
- Relationships between databases (e.g., Clients linked to Projects linked to Invoices)
- Unique constraints to prevent duplicate entries
- Filters and sorts for organizing data
Database Operations
| Operation | How | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Create records | Via app forms, API, or manual entry | New client fills out intake form → record created |
| Read/query | Via app views, agent queries, or automation variables | Dashboard displays all open tickets sorted by priority |
| Update | Via app interface, agent action, or automation step | Automation marks invoice as "paid" when Stripe webhook fires |
| Delete | Via app interface or API | Admin removes a cancelled order |
| Import | CSV, XLSX, copy-paste, API | Bulk import 500 contacts from a spreadsheet |
| Export | CSV, PDF, Markdown, image | Generate monthly report as PDF |
8 Views of the Same Data
The same underlying data can be visualized in 8 different ways:
| View | Shows | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| List | Hierarchical task list with nesting | Outlines, checklists, project breakdowns |
| Board | Kanban columns grouped by status/field | Pipeline management, workflow tracking |
| Table | Rows and columns with all custom fields | Data entry, bulk editing, spreadsheet users |
| Mind Map | Radial tree of relationships | Brainstorming, knowledge mapping |
| Gantt Chart | Timeline bars with dependencies | Project planning, resource allocation |
| Calendar | Date-based view of records with due dates | Scheduling, deadline tracking, event planning |
| Timeline | Sequential timeline layout | Milestone tracking, project progress, history |
| Org Chart | Hierarchical structure | Team management, reporting structures |
The Self-Reinforcing Feedback Loop
Here is why projects-as-databases matters for Genesis apps:
- Apps write data to projects. A customer fills out a form → a new record is created in the database.
- Agents read from projects. An AI agent trained on that project now knows about the new customer.
- Automations trigger on project changes. A workflow fires when a new record is added, sending a welcome email.
- The cycle repeats. Each interaction enriches the workspace DNA, making future apps smarter.
This is the Genesis Loop — the continuous cycle of Memory feeding Intelligence feeding Execution feeding Memory.
Automations and 100+ Integrations: The Execution Engine
Automations are what transform Genesis apps from static tools into living systems. They connect events to actions, with AI agents serving as intelligent orchestrators within the workflow.
Creating Automations
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Natural language | "When a new client signs up, send a welcome email via Gmail and create a project with onboarding tasks" |
| Auto mode | Describe the workflow and let Genesis build it |
| Agent tool mode | Create a flow that agents can invoke as a custom tool |
| Workflow mode | Build step-by-step with visual builder |
| Form mode | Generate a form that triggers an automation on submission |
| Templates | Start from 50+ pre-built automation templates |

Trigger Types
| Trigger Type | Examples | Timing |
|---|---|---|
| Taskade events | Task added, task completed, task assigned, custom field updated, project completed, new comment | Instant |
| Schedule | Every hour, every day at 9 AM, every Monday, first of month | Scheduled |
| Webhook | External service sends data to your workflow | Instant |
| Form submission | User fills out a Genesis app form | Instant |
| Third-party | New Slack message, Gmail received, HubSpot contact created, Stripe payment, GitHub PR | Instant/Polled |
| Agent trigger | Agent decides to start a workflow based on conversation | Agent-driven |
| Condition | Only trigger when specific criteria are met | Conditional |
Integration Categories
| Category | Services | Example Automation |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, SMS, Zoom, Telegram | New high-priority ticket → Slack alert to #support channel |
| Gmail, Outlook, Mailchimp | New client → Welcome email sequence | |

| Notion (Content Sync) | Read, create, and update Notion pages. Query Notion databases and sync records with Taskade projects. | v6.129.0 |
AI-Powered Automation Steps
What makes Taskade automations unique is the ability to include AI agents as steps in the workflow:
| AI Step | What It Does | Example |
|---|---|---|
| ai.ask | Ask a question, get a response | Analyze sentiment of customer feedback |
| ai.generate | Generate content | Create a personalized response to a support ticket |
| ai.categorize | Classify input into categories | Route tickets to the right department |
| ai.prompt | Run a prompt template | Generate a weekly summary report |
| agent.ask | Query a specific trained agent | Ask your product expert agent about a feature request |
| agent.run_command | Execute a custom agent command | Run /draft-response on incoming emails |
| agent.add_knowledge | Feed new data to an agent | Agent learns from each resolved ticket |
Workflow Example: Automated Client Onboarding
Trigger: Form submission (new client intake form)
↓
Step 1: ai.categorize → Route by client size (Small/Medium/Enterprise)
↓
Branch: If Enterprise
→ Step 2a: agent.ask (Account Manager agent) → "Draft a personalized welcome message for [client]"
→ Step 3a: Gmail → Send personalized welcome email
→ Step 4a: Slack → Notify #enterprise-team
Branch: Else
→ Step 2b: Gmail → Send standard welcome email template
↓
Step 5: Create Taskade project → Onboarding checklist from template
Step 6: Assign tasks → Route to appropriate team members
Step 7: Google Calendar → Schedule kickoff meeting
Step 8: HubSpot → Create contact record
Step 9: agent.add_knowledge → Update account manager agent with new client data
All of this runs on enterprise-grade durable workflow infrastructure, which means:
- Workflows resume automatically after failures
- Each step has retry logic built in
- You get monitoring, error tracking, and audit logs
- Non-AI automation steps are free — only AI steps consume credits
Publishing, Sharing, and the Community Gallery
Once your app is built, Genesis provides multiple distribution channels. Every app works on desktop, tablet, and mobile out of the box:
Visibility Settings
| Setting | Discoverability | Access | Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Public | Searchable, indexable | Anyone with the link | Customer-facing apps, marketing tools, community apps |
| Secret | Not searchable | Only people with the exact link | Internal tools, beta testing, client-specific apps |

App Kit Sharing: Export, Share, and Import Apps
Starting with v6.122.0, you can export any Genesis app as a portable app kit and share it with anyone. Recipients import the kit into their workspace and get a fully working copy of the app, ready to customize and deploy.
How it works:
- Open any Genesis app and select Export as App Kit
- Share the kit file with a teammate, client, or community member
- The recipient clicks Import App Kit in their workspace
- A working copy of the app deploys instantly, including UI, database schema, and configuration
┌──────────────────┐ Share ┌──────────────────┐ Import ┌──────────────────┐
│ Your Workspace │ ──────────▶ │ App Kit File │ ──────────▶ │ Their Workspace │
│ │ │ │ │ │
│ Genesis App │ │ Portable bundle │ │ Working copy │
│ + Database │ │ of app + config │ │ ready to deploy │
│ + Configuration │ │ │ │ │
└──────────────────┘ └──────────────────┘ └──────────────────┘
Use cases for App Kit Sharing:
| Scenario | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Team templates | Build a standard app once, export it as a kit, and distribute to every team that needs it |
| Client delivery | Build a custom app for a client, export the kit, and let them import it into their own workspace |
| Marketplace distribution | Publish app kits in the Community Gallery for others to clone and customize |
| Cross-workspace migration | Move apps between workspaces without rebuilding from scratch |
| Backup and versioning | Export kits as snapshots of your app at key milestones |
App Kit Sharing works alongside the Community Gallery. Use the gallery for public discovery, and app kits for direct, private sharing with specific people or teams.

Genesis vs Code Generators: Why Living Systems Win
The market is full of "AI app builders" and vibe coding tools. But most of them are code generators — they output React files, databases, and API routes that you must host, maintain, and connect yourself. Whether you call it a text-to-app builder, a vibe coding platform, or a no-code AI builder, the question is the same: does it give you a working product or just code? Genesis takes a fundamentally different approach.
Living Systems vs Static Code
| Dimension | Code Generators (Bolt, Lovable, V0) | Taskade Genesis |
|---|---|---|
| Output | Static code files | Deployed living system |
| Hosting | Self-host or configure deployment | Included — app is live immediately |
| Database | Manual setup (Supabase, Firebase, etc.) | Auto-generated, connected, live |
| AI Agents | None | Built-in, custom-trained, multi-model |
| Automations | None | 104 actions, 100+ integrations, durable execution |
| Analytics | None (add Google Analytics manually) | Built-in dashboard |
| Version History | Git commits (manual) | Automatic with one-click restore |
| Iteration | Edit code, redeploy | Chat to change, instant update |
| Time to deploy | 30 minutes to hours (+ hosting setup) | 2-15 minutes, live immediately |
| Ongoing maintenance | Developer required | Chat-based updates, no code |
| Self-improving | No | Yes — feedback loop enriches workspace DNA |
| Custom domains | Manual DNS + hosting config | One-click setup (Business+) |
| White-label error pages | Build and host your own 404 page | Branded 404 pages included automatically |
| Community gallery | No | 70+ apps to clone and remix |

Taskade API
The Taskade API provides programmatic access to your workspace:
| Endpoint Category | Capabilities |
|---|---|
| Projects | CRUD operations, custom fields, task management |
| Agents | Chat, knowledge management, configuration |
| Automations | Trigger, monitor, configure workflows |
| Media | Upload, manage, query files |
| Workspace | Members, settings, permissions |
Use the API to build custom integrations, sync data with external systems, or extend Genesis apps with functionality not available through the natural language interface.
Agent Public API
As of v6.110.0, your AI agents are programmable from the outside. The Agent Public API lets you prompt any workspace agent directly from your own applications, scripts, or external services via REST.
This turns every Taskade agent into a callable intelligence endpoint. Your agents keep their full knowledge base, custom tools, and persistent memory — external callers just send a prompt and get a response.
What you can build with the Agent Public API:
| Use Case | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Automated report generation | A cron job prompts your analyst agent every Monday morning |
| Customer-facing chatbot | Your website sends customer questions to a trained support agent |
| CI/CD intelligence | A GitHub Action prompts your code review agent on every pull request |
| CRM enrichment | Your sales tool prompts a research agent to enrich new leads |
| Slack bot | A custom Slack bot routes questions to the right workspace agent |
Getting started:
- Go to your agent settings and enable public API access
- Copy your agent's API endpoint and authentication token
- Send a POST request with your prompt
- Receive the agent's response with full context from its knowledge base

The Agent Public API works with all 11+ models and respects the agent's configured persona, tools, and knowledge sources. Combined with universal agent memory, external API calls also contribute to the agent's long-term context.

Taskade Developer SDK
Released in v6.122.0, the Taskade Developer SDK is the official programmatic interface for building custom integrations on top of Taskade. It wraps the REST API in a developer-friendly package, making it faster to connect your workspace to external apps, scripts, and services.
What the SDK enables:
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Call workspace agents | Prompt your trained AI agents from external applications and scripts |
| Automated project creation | Spin up projects, tasks, and databases programmatically |
| Data sync | Read and write workspace data from CI/CD pipelines, dashboards, or custom tools |
| Workspace management | Manage members, settings, and permissions via code |
| Integration building | Build custom connectors that use your agents' knowledge and tools |
Quick start example:
Javascript
import { Taskade } from '@taskade/sdk';
const client = new Taskade({ apiKey: 'your-api-key' });
// Create a project programmatically
const project = await client.projects.create({
workspaceId: 'ws-123',
title: 'Q1 Sprint Board',
templateId: 'sprint-template'
});
// Ask a trained agent a question
const response = await client.agents.chat({
agentId: 'agent-456',
message: 'Summarize the latest customer feedback'
});
SDK vs API vs MCP — when to use what:
| Tool | Best For |
|---|---|
| Developer SDK | Application-level integrations, custom dashboards, CI/CD pipelines, backend services |
| REST API | Direct HTTP calls when you need fine-grained control or work in a language without SDK support |
| MCP v2 | AI-to-AI connections from Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible tools |
| Agent Public API | Calling a specific agent as an intelligence endpoint from external services |
The SDK, API, and MCP all share the same underlying authentication and permission model. Use them together for maximum flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to build a Genesis app?
Simple apps (forms, trackers, calculators) take 2-5 minutes. Medium-complexity apps (dashboards, portals, CRMs) take 5-10 minutes. Complex enterprise systems with multiple agents and automations take 10-30 minutes.
Do I need any technical knowledge to use Taskade Genesis?
No. Genesis is 100% natural language. Describe what you want in plain English, and the system builds it. You can iterate by chatting, not coding.
Does Taskade Genesis support languages other than English?
Yes. Taskade has full internationalization across Genesis app creation, AI chat, credit management, and authentication. The interface adapts to your language automatically. You can build apps and interact with agents in English, Japanese, Spanish, and dozens of other languages.
Can I change my app after Genesis builds it?
Yes. Describe any changes in the chat and Genesis implements them immediately. Every change creates a new version, so you can always restore a previous state.
Which AI model should I use for Genesis?
Start with Claude Sonnet 4 for the best quality-to-cost ratio. Use Gemini 2.5 Flash for quick styling iterations (10x cheaper). Reserve Claude Opus 4.5 for apps with complex business logic. You can switch models at any time — use a powerful model for initial generation, then switch to a cheaper model for tweaks.
What are AI thinking modes in Taskade?
Taskade offers four thinking modes: Standard (fast responses), Thinking (deeper analysis), Reasoning (step-by-step logic for complex problems), and Auto (lets the AI pick the best mode). Thinking and Reasoning modes use additional credits but produce better results for complex app generation, debugging, and architectural decisions.
How do I publish my Genesis app?
Click the Publish button. Your app gets a URL immediately. Choose Public (anyone can access), Secret (only people with the exact link), or Private (workspace members only). Published apps run without consuming AI credits — only building and iterating uses credits.
Can I use my own domain for Genesis apps?
Yes, on Business+ plans. Configure a custom domain (e.g., app.yourcompany.com) with automatic SSL, white-label branding, custom favicon, and branded 404 pages.
Who can access my published apps?
You control access through visibility settings (Public, Secret, Private), password protection, and the 7-tier RBAC system (Owner, Maintainer, Editor, Commenter, Collaborator, Participant, Viewer).
Can I build apps on the free plan?
Yes. The free plan includes 1,000 AI credits, enough for 1-2 simple apps. Upgrade to Pro ($16/month) for 50,000 credits and full model access. Credits auto-top-up is available on paid plans.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Existing published apps keep running. You cannot create new apps or iterate until credits renew, you purchase more, or upgrade your plan. Buy additional credits at 2,500 per $1 USD — purchased credits never expire.
What's Next: The Future of Living Software
Taskade Genesis represents a fundamental shift in how software is created and maintained. Instead of writing code that must be manually updated, you describe what you need and get a living system that evolves with your business.
The roadmap for 2026 and beyond focuses on three themes:
Deeper intelligence. Agents will become more capable, with longer memory, more sophisticated tool use, and better multi-agent coordination. The goal is agents that can manage entire business processes autonomously.
Broader connectivity. More integrations, more automation actions, and deeper connections to the tools your business already uses. Every new integration enriches the Workspace DNA and makes Genesis apps more powerful.
Greater accessibility. Lower the barrier to entry so that anyone — regardless of technical background, budget, or geography — can build the software they need. The free tier, Community Gallery, and Space Bundles all serve this mission.
The Genesis Manifesto stated it clearly: "Build without permission." That is not just a tagline. It is a design principle. Every feature decision is measured against the question: "Does this help someone who was told 'no' build the thing they need?"
If you have an idea, you have everything you need to start.
