Overview
Context is what turns a generic Taskade Genesis build into your business app. Upload brand guidelines, sample data, screenshots, or past projects, and Taskade Genesis weaves them into the four layers of Workspace DNA — Projects (Memory) + Agents (Intelligence) + Automations (Execution) + App UI (Interface) — so the app it ships already knows your colors, your fields, your tone, and your workflow.
TL;DR: A blank prompt gives you a template. A prompt + brand PDF + sample CSV + reference screenshot gives you a tailored app. Drag files into the prompt box (initial or follow-up), and Taskade Genesis bakes them into Memory, Intelligence, Execution, and the live UI. Files persist in the Media tab for every future build. Try a context-rich build →
The more context you provide, the less generic your app becomes. A blank prompt gives you a template. A prompt plus a brand PDF, a sample CSV, and a past project gives you a tailored application that already knows your business.
💡 Note: Any files that you upload are added to the Media tab.
