What Is Taskade?
Taskade is an AI-native productivity workspace founded by John Xie, Dionis Loire, and Stan Chang in 2017. The Y Combinator-backed platform unifies notes, projects, AI agents, and automations in one place. With Taskade Genesis, a single prompt becomes a live app with agents and automations wired in.
What Is Mem?
Mem describes itself as "your AI chief of staff". Mem Agent builds a living picture of your tasks, projects, and goals from your notes, meetings, saved web pages, and connected apps, then steps in with a nudge when it can help. You capture by writing, by voice with Push-to-Remember, by recording a meeting without a meeting bot, or by clipping a page from the web. Mem searches notes, meetings, and connected sources by meaning, and it can draft, summarize, plan, and follow up with that context.
Mem at a glance (verified on get.mem.ai, October 2026): Free — 25 messages to Mem, 25 new notes per month, 15 open tasks and projects, 3 hours of Voice Mode. Mem Plus — $9/mo. Mem Pro — $29/mo with Custom Routines, Connections, and 25 hours of Voice Mode. Higher-usage tiers: Pro 2× $49, Pro 5× $99, Pro 10× $149, Pro 20× $199 per month. Deep Search and templates on all plans. One-click Markdown export.
Mem vs Taskade
Mem is excellent at AI-augmented capture for one person: it remembers what you said, what you saved, and what you promised, and it reminds you at the right time. Taskade pushes that further for teams: notes are first-class data inside a shared workspace where agents and automations take action on them. Where Mem helps you remember a follow-up, Taskade can turn it into an assigned task, draft the message, send it, and update the CRM record.
AI-Powered Features in Taskade
AI Agents v2
Custom AI Agents with built-in tools, persistent memory, custom tools you define, and the option to embed publicly inside Taskade Genesis apps. Agents are first-class teammates that live in the workspace, not floating chat windows.
AI Generators
Turn a topic into a structured outline, mind map, flowchart, or full project. Great for converting a quick note into a working plan.
AI Chat
Talk to your projects. Summarize long notes. Brainstorm next steps with an agent that reads the project you are in.
AI Converters
Convert spreadsheets, documents, and notes between formats.
Taskade Genesis app generation
Describe an app in plain English. Taskade Genesis returns a live, working app at a shareable URL with AI agents and 100+ integrations attached.
Feature-by-feature deep dive
Capture
- Mem captures almost anything: typed notes, spoken thoughts with Push-to-Remember, meetings recorded without a bot, and web clips. Messages can also reach Mem through channels such as WhatsApp and email.
- Taskade captures into projects from the web, desktop, mobile, and browser extensions. A Mailhook trigger gives an automation its own email address, so any email can become a task or a note.
Memory and recall
- Mem keeps a background model of your tasks, projects, and goals, and searches by meaning across notes, meetings, and connected sources. This is Mem's core strength.
- Taskade stores memory as projects that the whole team can see and edit. Agents use those projects as knowledge and keep persistent memory across sessions.
Agents and proactive help
- Mem Agent decides when a nudge will help and reaches out with context and a next step, with no schedule or prompt tuning. Mem Pro adds Custom Routines for scheduled briefings, research, and reminders.
- Taskade agents act on shared work: they research, draft, and update tasks, and they run inside automations on a schedule or on an event.
Teams
- Mem prices per person and its pricing page lists no team or multi-user features.
- Taskade is multiplayer by default, with chat, video, comments, and role-based access from Owner to Viewer.
Use both: meeting notes in Mem, action items in Taskade
Mem and Taskade cover two halves of a meeting. Mem remembers what was said. Taskade makes sure the follow-ups get done by the right people. Here is a concrete setup:
- Capture in Mem. Record the meeting in Mem, which writes the notes and tracks decisions and follow-ups.
- Send the follow-ups to Taskade. Email the follow-up list to the address of a Taskade Mailhook trigger. Mailhook is available on all plans.
- Extract action items. An Ask Agent With Structured Output step reads the email and returns each action item with an owner and a due date.
- Create and assign tasks. A Loop runs Add Task and Assign Task for each item in your "Team Follow-ups" project.
- Tell the team. A Slack action posts a summary with a link to the project.
- Report back. A Friday automation asks an agent to summarize what was finished and what is still open.
Mem stays your personal memory. Taskade becomes the shared record of who owns what and when it is due.
The Workspace DNA advantage
Mem keeps your context. Taskade runs it inside Workspace DNA, a self-reinforcing loop with three pillars.
- Memory (Projects) — Your notes, files, and structured data become the substrate every agent reasons over. The longer you work, the smarter the workspace gets.
- Intelligence (Agents) — Custom AI Agents with persistent memory, built-in tools, and your own custom tools, plus a hosted MCP server that Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code connect into, while automations carry the work into the 100+ apps you already use.
- Execution (Automations) — Durable workflows triggered by external events read from Memory, act through Intelligence, and write results back into Memory. The loop closes.

Comprehensive Project and Task Management
Diverse Project Views
Taskade ships multiple project views — List, Board, Table, Mind Map, Docs (Beta), Gantt Chart, Calendar, Actionsheet, and Org Chart — so the same notes and tasks can be visualized in whichever shape fits the work. Gantt Chart, Actionsheet, and Org Chart need a paid plan.
Real-time team collaboration
Multiplayer editing, comments, in-project chat, and video on every project. Permissions use role-based access from Owner to Viewer.
100+ bidirectional integrations
Slack, Gmail, Google Calendar, Notion, Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, Shopify, GitHub, and more. Triggers pull events into your notes. Actions push data out — automatically.
