What is Taskade Genesis?
Taskade Genesis is the AI app builder inside the Taskade workspace, run by the Y Combinator-backed team that has maintained Taskade since 2017 — which matters when the tool you were using has changed what it sells. It is a product you can sign up for today, at a published price, without a sales call.
One prompt produces the kind of app teams usually lose a quarter to: an ops dashboard, an intake form that feeds a real table, a customer portal, a CRM. Sign-in ships with it through GenesisAuth, publishing is one click to the Community Gallery, and nothing about it depends on a roadmap you cannot see.
What Taskade Genesis actually builds
A build is a whole application: the interface, the data behind it, the agents, and the automations, all hosted by Taskade. And because "an AI wrote it" is not a quality guarantee, we published the TSK-1 Benchmark — competing AI models, one identical job, scored on whether the app opens, whether it built what was asked for, and whether your data actually saves.
What is Databutton?
Databutton was known as an AI app builder that generated full-stack apps from prompts. In October 2026, databutton.com returns a permanent redirect to riff.ai. Riff's headline is "The next era of industry is intelligent," and the site describes agents for five areas of work: order handling, procurement, logistics, production and planning, and aftermarket service. The agents act inside a company's ERP with "deterministic tools," and every action is logged under rules that IT sets. We found no separate discontinuation notice for the app builder, so treat its status as observed rather than announced.
Riff sells a program, not a subscription. Its site lists ready-made agents and processes, forward-deployed engineers who work inside the customer's organization, a roadmap built with IT and leadership, and training for in-house builders. It says ready-made agents can run on your ERP "in six weeks," that it does not charge hours, and that it is "paid on the result." Riff also says more than 250,000 people build on the platform and that it is backed by Northzone, Maki.vc and GFC.
Databutton at a glance (October 2026): The self-serve AI app builder is not sold at databutton.com. The domain redirects to Riff, a sales-led platform for industrial AI agents, founded in 2021 with a team of about 25 people in Oslo, Norway. Best fit for manufacturers and distributors who want agents working their order pipeline, not a general-purpose app builder. See riff.ai/contact to book a demo.
Where each tool wins
Agents on your order pipeline — Riff (formerly Databutton)
If your team runs order handling, procurement, and logistics on an ERP and wants agents to take over the repetitive operational work with guardrails your IT team defines, Riff is purpose-built for exactly that, with engineers on site to wire it in.
Working app right now — Taskade Genesis
If you were mid-build when the ground shifted, Taskade Genesis picks that thread back up: a portal, dashboard, CRM, or internal tool, working on the first prompt, with the backend, agents, and integrations connected — at a price listed on the page.
The Workspace DNA advantage
Riff's mental model is "agents work the order pipeline inside your existing systems." Taskade Genesis's mental model is Workspace DNA: a self-reinforcing loop between three pillars.
- Memory (Projects) — Operational data, SOPs, and files live in the workspace the agents read from, so the knowledge behind a process survives the person who built it. Read How Workspace DNA Works.
- Intelligence (Agents) — AI Agents v2 keep context between runs, use the tools you give them, and can be published inside an app for the people who depend on it.
- Execution (Automations) — Durable workflows start from a webhook, a Slack message, a Gmail thread, a Stripe event, or a schedule, and write results back where the team can see them.
Riff is excellent at one slice of that: agents working an order pipeline. Taskade Genesis keeps all three pillars running, so the processes your team documents today are what the next app gets built on.
Pricing comparison
| Plan | Taskade Genesis | Databutton (now Riff) |
|---|---|---|
| Free | Free Forever: unlimited projects, 1 agent, 3 Taskade Genesis apps | None published |
| Entry | Free Forever, upgrade to Pro when ready | Sales-led: book a demo |
| Most popular | Pro $10/mo billed annually ($20 monthly): 10 seats, unlimited apps, up to 10 custom domains | Custom agreement, paid on the result |
| Team | Business $25/mo billed annually ($50 monthly): unlimited seats, SSO | Custom agreement |
| High capacity | Max $100/mo · Enterprise $250/mo, both billed annually | Custom agreement |
Riff publishes no prices on riff.ai, and riff.ai/pricing returns a 404 (checked October 2026). The two products are bought in different ways: Taskade is a self-serve subscription you can start and cancel yourself, and Riff is a delivery program with engineers and a roadmap.
Use both: Riff on the order pipeline, Taskade for the team around it
A manufacturer that brings in Riff for order handling still needs a place for the team work the agents do not cover: supplier onboarding, standard operating procedures, improvement projects, and the dashboards that leaders read. Riff has no Taskade connector, so Taskade works on the shared inputs, such as email and spreadsheets. Here is one concrete supplier-onboarding flow:
- Catch the request. The Gmail connector starts the automation on "New Email with Label" when a buyer labels a message
supplier-onboarding. - Extract the details. The "Ask Agent with Structured Output" action has a custom AI agent pull the supplier name, contact, country, and missing documents from the email.
- Update the register. The Google Sheets "Insert Row" action adds the supplier to the register that the ERP team imports from.
- Assign the work. The automation adds an onboarding task with a due date to the procurement project in Taskade.
- Tell the buyer. The Slack "Send Channel Message" action posts a summary, and a Schedule Trigger runs every Friday to list any supplier still waiting on documents.
The agents in the ERP keep the orders moving, and the team gets a tracked record of everything around them.
