Hi Taskaders 👋
We’re back with another exciting update to make our platform work smarter and faster for you and your team. Give it a try and let us know what you think.
TL;DR: The February 2023 AI Assistant, /translate, and progress bar updates marked the start of Taskade's AI-everywhere era. Today Taskade ships AI Agents v2 with built-in tools, spans multiple project views, frontier AI models from top AI labs, and 100+ integrations — and Taskade Genesis turns any prompt into a living app.
Then → Now: AI Assistant + /translate + progress bar (2023) → today's AI Agents v2 with built-in tools and multi-language across frontier models plus team Automations.
