What is Taskade?
Taskade is an AI-native workspace founded by John Xie, Dionis Loire, and Stan Chang in 2017 (Y Combinator-backed). It pairs structured projects across seven views with AI Agents v2, durable workflow automations, and the Genesis app builder.
What is Taskade Genesis?
Genesis is the AI app generator inside the Taskade workspace. Describe what you want and Genesis returns a deployed application with data, agents, automations, custom domains, and built-in GenesisAuth.

What is Teamwork.com?
Teamwork.com is a project management platform founded in 2007 in Cork, Ireland. It is purpose-built for agencies and client-services teams — features include client portals, time tracking, billing, and resource management.
Teamwork.com at a glance: Founded 2007 in Cork, Ireland. Strong fit for agencies that bill clients and manage many concurrent projects with time tracking and resource planning.
Teamwork is a solid choice for agency operations. Its trade-off is that it is a traditional PM tool — there is no AI agent runtime, no app generator, and pricing is per seat with a 2-project free plan ceiling.
Why teams pick Taskade over Teamwork
AI agents that execute work
AI Agents v2 include persistent memory, 34 built-in tools, custom tools, and the option to embed publicly inside Genesis Apps. Teamwork tracks who owes what work; Taskade lets agents do the work.
Genesis app builder for client deliverables
Agencies routinely need a portal, dashboard, intake form, or knowledge base for a client. Genesis ships those from a single prompt with custom domains, password protection, and built-in GenesisAuth — no DevOps required.
Flat workspace pricing
Pricing is flat per workspace, not per seat. A 10-person team on Pro pays $10 per month total versus roughly $110 per month on Teamwork Deliver or $200 per month on Teamwork Grow.
Seven project views with a true Gantt
List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Gantt, and Org Chart. The Gantt view includes a scrolling timeline component for project planning.
7-tier role-based access for client and contractor management
Owner, Maintainer, Editor, Commenter, Collaborator, Participant, Viewer — granular control for clients, contractors, and internal teammates inside the same workspace.
100+ bidirectional integrations
Durable Automations across 100+ integrations — triggers pull events in (Slack, Gmail, Sheets, Calendly, webhooks), actions push data out (Stripe, Shopify, Notion, Salesforce, GitHub).
The Workspace DNA advantage
Taskade is built on Workspace DNA — a self-reinforcing loop between three pillars.
- Memory (Projects) — Every project doubles as the structured data layer. Tasks, files, and tables become the substrate every agent reasons over.
- Intelligence (Agents) — Custom AI Agents with persistent memory and 34 built-in tools, embeddable inside Genesis Apps for client-facing experiences.
- Execution (Automations) — Durable workflows triggered by external events that read from Memory, act through Intelligence, and write the results back into Memory.
Teamwork helps agencies track work. Taskade helps agencies do the work — the longer your workspace lives, the more it becomes the substrate that ships the next client deliverable. Read the Workspace DNA explainer →
