Overview
Taskade EVE has four canonical chat modes. Each mode scopes the tools Taskade EVE can reach for and the kind of output Taskade EVE prefers. Switching modes is instant. Use the mode selector in the chat header or the command /mode <name>.
TL;DR: Taskade EVE has four chat modes. Taskade Genesis builds live apps. Projects shapes lists, notes, and databases. Agents configures AI agents. Automations writes triggers and actions. Each mode scopes the available tools and the output. Switch from the mode selector in the chat header, or type
/mode <name>. Taskade EVE keeps your context across the switch.
The mode selector sits at the top of the Taskade EVE chat. The filled dot marks the active mode:
┌────────────────────────────┐
│ Taskade EVE · switch mode │
├────────────────────────────┤
│ ● 🧬 Taskade Genesis │
│ ○ 📋 Projects │
│ ○ 🤖 Agents │
│ ○ ⚡ Automations │
└────────────────────────────┘
Switch anytime from the selector or type /mode <name>. Taskade EVE keeps your context across the switch.
Quick comparison
| Mode | Best for | Typical output |
|---|---|---|
| Taskade Genesis | Turning a prompt into a deployed app | Pages, components, data wiring, publish URL |
| Projects | Working inside lists, docs, mind maps, databases | Tasks, sections, custom fields, views |
| Agents | Creating or tuning an AI agent | Agent persona, tools, knowledge, test runs |
| Automations | Writing workflow triggers and actions | Branches, loops, filters, connected apps |
Taskade Genesis mode
Default for /create. Taskade EVE builds, edits, and publishes Taskade Genesis apps here. Use Taskade Genesis mode when you want to ship a working app, change an existing page, wire in a database, or attach a custom domain.
Projects mode
Projects mode focuses on Taskade Projects themselves. It covers tasks, subtasks, fields, and the nine project views. List, Board, Table, and Mind Map sit inline. Docs, Gantt Chart, Calendar, Actionsheet, and Org Chart sit under More Views. Use Projects mode to clean up a backlog, design a CRM schema, or draft a plan. Ask for a side-by-side comparison, and Taskade EVE picks the Table view for you.
Agents mode
The cockpit for a single AI agent. Tune the system prompt, attach custom tools, train on knowledge files, and run test conversations. Use Agents mode when an agent already exists and you want to make it smarter or more focused.
Automations mode
All about the workflow graph. Add a trigger, chain actions, test with sample data, and schedule. Use Automations mode when the work is "when X happens, do Y, then Z".
How modes interact
All four modes share the same workspace memory, so a decision made in Taskade Genesis mode ("use Shopify for orders") is immediately visible to Automations mode. Workspace DNA holds it all together: Memory (Projects) → Intelligence (Agents) → Execution (Automations) → Interface (Taskade Genesis).
Tips
- You can switch modes mid-conversation and Taskade EVE keeps the context.
- Slash commands work in every mode. Some commands switch the mode for you.
- If you ever feel stuck,
/mode genesisgets you back to the default.
