What is Taskade?

Taskade is a flexible AI workspace founded in 2017 by John Xie, Dionis Loire, and Stan Chang (Y Combinator-backed). It combines lightweight task capture with AI agents, durable automations, and an app builder. Same simple feel as Any.do for daily tasks, with intelligence and execution layers underneath.

Taskade runs everywhere: macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, and web.

What is Any.do?

Any.do is a cross-platform to-do list, reminders, calendar, and daily planner app. It runs on iPhone, iPad, Android, Mac, Windows, the web, Chrome, and Firefox, and works with Siri. Any.do is well-loved for fast capture, a calendar next to your tasks, and a respected mobile experience. Any.do also offers an AI assistant, Kanban and custom views on boards, and a Teams workspace for shared projects.

Any.do at a glance (verified on any.do, October 2026): Trusted by 40M+ people. Personal is free. Premium is $4.99/mo billed annually ($7.99 monthly) and adds recurring tasks, WhatsApp reminders, AI-powered features, color tags, and location reminders. Family is $8.33/mo for 4 members billed annually. Teams is $4.99 per member per month billed annually ($7.99 monthly), with a 14-day free trial.

Any.do is great at one job: a clean, fast personal to-do list with calendar in the same view. If your work fits inside daily tasks plus a calendar, it covers that well.

What Taskade adds on top of simple task management

AI Agents that execute the tasks

AI Agents v2 ship as first-class teammates with built-in tools (web search, file analysis, image generation, code execution, project management), persistent memory, and custom tools. An agent can take a task like "research three competitors and draft an email" and actually do it — not just remind you about it.

Taskade Genesis turns prompts into live apps

Describe an ops dashboard, a customer portal, an intake form, or a CRM and Taskade Genesis returns a live app at a shareable URL with email-and-password sign-in on every plan, password protection on Pro and above, and custom domains on Pro and above. Browse the Community Gallery for real apps built from a single prompt.

100+ bidirectional integrations

Connect Slack, Gmail, Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, Notion, Shopify, Google Sheets, GitHub, Calendly, and 90+ more. Triggers pull events in. Actions push data out. All on a production-grade durable runtime that retries on failure.

Real-time collaboration on the free plan

Chat, video meetings, and live multiplayer cursors live inside every project — on the Free Forever plan, not gated behind a team upgrade.

Multiple project views

List, Board, Table, Mind Map, Docs (Beta), Gantt Chart, Calendar, Actionsheet, and Org Chart. Gantt Chart, Actionsheet, and Org Chart need a paid plan. Switching views does not duplicate data — the same tasks render any way you need them.

Feature-by-feature deep dive

Capture and reminders

• Any.do is one of the fastest ways to capture a task on a phone. Premium adds recurring tasks, location-based reminders, and reminders in WhatsApp, so a task can reach you in the chat app you already check.
• Taskade captures from the web, desktop, mobile, and browser extensions, and a Mailhook trigger turns any email into a task. Due dates and assignments send notifications to the whole team.

Planning the day

• Any.do pairs the task list with a calendar and a daily planner, which is its signature workflow.
• Taskade uses the Calendar view and due dates for planning, and an agent can rank the day for you. A Task Due automation can send a morning summary to Slack or email.

Team work

• Any.do Teams adds a collaborative workspace with unlimited project boards, unlimited team members, 100+ workflow templates, and admin permissions. Boards can be shared read-only through external links.
• Taskade gives every project real-time editing, comments, chat, and video, with role-based access from Owner to Viewer. Free covers 2 workspace members, and Pro covers up to 10 seats.

Automation

• Any.do connects to Zapier (Premium), Make.com, Pabbly, and Integrately for automation through third-party tools.
• Taskade runs automations natively. A trigger, a set of actions, and an AI agent step run inside the workspace, across 100+ bidirectional integrations.

Use both: personal errands in Any.do, team work in Taskade

Any.do and Taskade fit side by side when you split personal and team work. Here is a setup that keeps both lists honest:

1. Keep life admin in Any.do. Groceries, family tasks, and WhatsApp reminders stay in Any.do Personal, Premium, or Family.
2. Run team projects in Taskade. Each client or launch gets a Taskade project with owners, due dates, and a Board view.
3. Get one morning brief. A Taskade automation with the Schedule trigger runs at 8:00 on weekdays. It uses Find Task(s) to collect the tasks assigned to you, asks an AI agent to draft a short plan, and emails it to you through Gmail.
4. Bridge selected tasks. If you use Any.do's Zapier integration on Premium, a Zap can send tasks you mark for work to a Taskade Webhook Received trigger on Pro and above. The automation adds each one to your team inbox project.
5. Let the agent prepare the work. When a task lands, an agent step adds a checklist and links to related docs in the project.

You keep Any.do's fast capture for life, and Taskade keeps the team plan, the agents, and the automations in one place.

The Workspace DNA advantage

Taskade is built on Workspace DNA — a self-reinforcing loop between three pillars.

• Memory (Projects) — Tasks, files, docs, and structured data become the substrate every agent reasons over.
• Intelligence (AI Agents) — Agents v2 with built-in tools, persistent memory, and custom tools you define.
• Execution (Automations) — Durable workflows across 100+ integrations that read from Memory, act through Intelligence, and write the results back into Memory.

Any.do gives you a clean task list. Taskade runs the loop where the task list itself becomes the input that AI builds, automates, and executes against. Read the Workspace DNA explainer.

Pricing comparison

Any.do Teams prices per member, so a 10-person team pays per seat. Taskade Pro covers up to 10 seats in one workspace price and includes agents, automations, and Taskade Genesis apps. See Taskade pricing for every plan detail.

When to choose each

Choose Any.do if:

• You want a clean personal to-do list with a calendar and daily planner side by side, on almost every device.
• You want reminders in WhatsApp and location-based reminders for errands.
• You want an affordable Family plan with a shared grocery list for 4 people.

Choose Taskade if:

• You want AI agents that execute tasks, not just track them.
• You need multiple project views, real-time multiplayer, and built-in chat and video on the free plan.
• You need 100+ bidirectional integrations and durable workflow automations.
• You want to ship apps, dashboards, and portals from a prompt with Taskade Genesis.

Use both if: you keep personal and family lists in Any.do and run team projects in Taskade.
