Taskade Genesis reads every file, organizes it into a navigable wiki, and grounds an AI assistant on your content. Live on this page, cloneable in about 10 seconds, no developer required.
TL;DR: A docs to AI knowledge base converter ingests your scattered files and builds a searchable wiki with an embedded agent that answers from your content and cites the source. Taskade Genesis ships it as a real app — 7 project views, 34-tool agents, and automations that keep it fresh. Try it free →
What Is a Docs to AI Knowledge Base Converter?
A docs to AI knowledge base converter reads your existing files — PDFs, Markdown exports, Word docs, notes, handbooks — and turns them into a searchable system where your team or an AI agent answers questions with cited sources. Most tools hand you a blank template to fill in by hand. Taskade Genesis hands you a working app: relational records, 7 project views, an embedded agent grounded on your files, and automations that re-index new content automatically.
One-Off Tool vs a Knowledge Base You Own
| What you get | One-off doc-chat tool | A connected Taskade system you own |
|---|---|---|
| The output | A chat box bolted to your files | A full app: wiki, records, agent, and portal |
| Structure | A flat list of uploads | Projects + the Relationship field linking topics, owners, and sources |
| Views | One search box | 7 project views — List, Board, Table, and more on the same data |
| Intelligence | Generic answers | Agents with 34 built-in tools, grounded on your docs, that cite the source |
| Staying current | Manual re-upload | Automations re-index new files and flag stale articles across 100+ integrations |
How It Works
- Clone the live converter below. It is a real, working Taskade Genesis app — clone and own it in your workspace in about 10 seconds.
- Import your documents. Upload PDFs, Word files, notes, or Markdown exports. The app reads each one, extracts structure, and builds sections and a table of contents.
- Ground the agent on your files. The embedded AI agent answers from your content only — not the open web — and cites which document and section each answer comes from.
- Connect your sources. Wire up 100+ two-way integrations to pull files from Google Drive or Notion automatically, and push update alerts to Slack when content changes.
- Share it with your team. Use a shareable link, or add a custom domain and GenesisAuth client logins (Business+) for a branded, authenticated knowledge portal.

Frequently Asked Questions
What file types can I turn into a knowledge base?
Upload PDFs, Word files, Markdown exports, plain text, and notes. The app reads each file, extracts its structure, and builds sections with a table of contents. You can keep adding sources at any time, and the agent grounded on your content updates automatically as new files come in.
Does the AI agent answer only from my documents?
By default the agent is grounded on your imported files, so it answers from your content and cites the source document and section. You can optionally enable web search — one of the 34 built-in agent tools — if you want it to supplement answers with current information from outside your files.
How long does it take to set up?
The converter on this page is a live app, so you clone and own it in about 10 seconds. Importing your documents and grounding the agent takes a few minutes more, depending on how many files you upload. No coding, no deployment, and no developer is required at any step.
How does the knowledge base stay current?
Built-in automations watch for new files and re-index them automatically, so the knowledge base grows without manual rework. Agents can also flag articles that have not been reviewed recently and notify the assigned owner. Across 100+ integrations you can pull new docs from Google Drive or Notion on a schedule.
Can I embed the AI assistant on my website?
Yes. Taskade agents support public embedding through a shareable link or an embed code. Drop the assistant on any page so customers or teammates can ask questions without accessing your full workspace. No API keys and no developer are needed to publish or share it.
Can my team use it without per-user metering?
Yes. Clone the app once and your team works from the same knowledge base with flat per-plan pricing instead of per-editor metering — seats scale with your plan, unlimited on Business and above. Contributors edit their own sections, and automations notify reviewers when changes land. Pricing starts free, with paid plans at Starter $6, Pro $10, and Business $25 per month on annual billing.
Can I restrict who sees which documents?
Yes. You control which files are in scope for the agent, and you can add or remove sources at any time. On Business and above, GenesisAuth client logins scope each user to the sections they should see — an external partner sees one area while staff see another, all from the same knowledge base.
Which project views come with the knowledge base?
You get all 7 project views on the same data: a List for the wiki tree, a Board organized by topic or department, a Table index of every article with owner and review date, plus Calendar, Mind Map, Gantt, and Org Chart. You switch views without duplicating any content.
Which AI models power the assistant?
The embedded agent runs on 15+ frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-weight providers, with smart routing by plan. You write content and ask questions in plain language — the assistant handles retrieval, citation, and follow-ups, so you never manage models or prompts by hand.
