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 multiple views with AI Agents v2, durable workflow automations, and the Taskade Genesis app builder.
What is Taskade Genesis?
Taskade Genesis is the AI app builder inside the Taskade workspace. Describe what you want and Taskade Genesis returns a deployed application with data, agents, and automations. Apps go live at a shareable URL with GenesisAuth email-and-password sign-in on every plan, password protection on Pro and above, and custom domains on Pro and above.

What is Teamwork.com?
Teamwork.com is a project management platform for teams that deliver client work. Peter Coppinger and Daniel Mackey founded it in 2007 in Cork, Ireland. It covers client projects, intake forms, time tracking, resource and capacity planning, budgets, retainers, and invoicing from logged time.
Teamwork.com at a glance (verified October 2026 on teamwork.com/pricing): Free plan for up to 5 users and 5 projects. Basics $9.99 and Accelerate $24.99 per user per month billed yearly. Optimize and Enterprise by quote. 14-day free trial on paid plans. US or EU data hosting and SOC 2 compliance on every plan.
Teamwork.com is a strong choice for agency operations. Its 2026 lineup also added TeamworkAI. The pricing page lists AI summaries and a project wizard on Basics, an "Ask AI" assistant on Accelerate, and AI teammates: Scout (personal assistant) and Flo (project health) on Basics, Remi (resource planning) on Accelerate, and Kash (profitability) plus custom teammates built with "Jack" on Optimize. Teamwork.com says TeamworkAI is included in paid plans for an introductory period and that usage-based AI credits are coming.
Why teams pick Taskade over Teamwork.com
| Need | Taskade Genesis | Teamwork.com |
|---|---|---|
| Ship a client portal or dashboard | One prompt, live at a URL | Not offered |
| AI that shares project memory | Agents read and write workspace projects | Teammates work inside Teamwork data |
| Pricing as the team grows | Flat per workspace | Each user adds a seat |
| Connect outside apps | 100+ bidirectional integrations plus HTTP Request | 150+ listed integrations |
Taskade Genesis lets a team build the tool it needs, not only track the work. Agents, automations, and apps share one workspace memory, so each run makes the next one better informed. Pricing is flat per workspace, so adding a contractor does not add a seat fee on Pro up to 10 seats.
AI agents that execute work
AI Agents v2 include persistent memory, built-in tools, custom tools, and the option to embed an agent publicly inside a Taskade Genesis app. An agent can triage a request, draft a scope, and write the result into a project.
Taskade Genesis for client deliverables
Agencies often need a portal, dashboard, intake form, or knowledge base for a client. Taskade Genesis builds those from a single prompt. GenesisAuth sign-in confirms who a client is. If each client must see only their own records, you match records to the login and test it with a second account.
Multiple project views
Taskade offers List, Board, Table, Mind Map, Docs (Beta), Gantt Chart, Calendar, Actionsheet, and Org Chart. Gantt Chart, Actionsheet, and Org Chart need a paid plan. Timeline planning lives inside the Gantt Chart view.
Role-based access for clients and contractors
Taskade uses role-based access from Owner to Viewer, so clients, contractors, and internal teammates can share one workspace with the right level of control.
100+ bidirectional integrations
Durable Automations run across 100+ integrations. Triggers pull events in (Slack, Gmail, Google Sheets, AI Forms, and webhooks on Pro and above). Actions push data out (Stripe, Shopify, Notion, Salesforce, GitHub). The HTTP Request action reaches any API that has no built-in connector.
Use both: Teamwork.com for billing, Taskade Genesis for the client front door
Many agencies keep Teamwork.com as the system of record for time, budgets, and invoices, and add Taskade Genesis where clients and requests arrive. The two connect through the Teamwork.com developer API and the Taskade HTTP Request action, with your own Teamwork.com API key.
Example automation: client request to scoped Teamwork.com task
- A client submits a request on a Taskade Genesis intake portal. The AI Forms trigger starts the automation.
- An Agent action reads the request and the client's history from your Taskade projects. It drafts a scope, a priority, and an hour estimate.
- A Branch step sends urgent work to a Slack channel for the account lead.
- The HTTP Request action calls the Teamwork.com API and creates a task in the client's Teamwork.com project, so time is logged against the right budget.
- The automation writes the scope back to the client's Taskade project, so the agent knows this request next time.
The agency keeps Teamwork.com retainers and invoices as they are. Taskade Genesis adds the client-facing app and the AI layer that prepares the work before it reaches the billing system.
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 built-in tools, embeddable inside Taskade 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.com helps agencies plan, track, and bill work. Taskade helps a team build the tools around that work, and the longer the workspace lives, the more context it gives the next app. Read the Workspace DNA explainer →
