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. As of Aug 2026, databutton.com serves Riff — a platform where AI agents handle the operational work behind every order: quoting, procurement, planning, and logistics, running on top of a company's existing ERP and inbox. That is what the domain served when we checked it in Aug 2026 — Databutton published no separate discontinuation notice for the app builder, so treat its status as observed rather than announced.
Databutton at a glance: The self-serve AI app builder is no longer sold at databutton.com. The domain now serves Riff, a sales-led AI-agent platform for order operations built by a team in Oslo, Norway. Best fit for manufacturers and distributors who want agents working their order pipeline — not a general-purpose app builder.
Where each tool wins
Agents on your order pipeline — Riff (formerly Databutton)
If your team runs quoting, procurement, and logistics on an ERP and wants agents to take over the repetitive operational work with guardrails your team defines, Riff is purpose-built for exactly that.
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.
