Taskade for Educational Institutions

A Taskade Genesis classroom runs on the four layers of Workspace DNA:

• Course materials live in Projects (Memory).
• Tutor and grading Agents (Intelligence) read those materials and answer students.
• Automations (Execution) send reminders and parent updates.
• The published App UI (Interface) is the portal that students log into.

The classroom gets smarter every week, and the teacher does no extra work.

TL;DR: Build a course portal, AI tutor, assignment tracker, and grading workflow in one Taskade Genesis prompt. Tutor agents read your course materials. Grading agents apply your rubric. Automations send parent emails and attendance reminders. More capacity comes with paid plans. Build a classroom app →

In education, staying organized and connected is essential. Taskade helps with exactly that. It brings task lists, collaboration, and communication into one platform.

Educators use Taskade Genesis to ship four things from one prompt: a course portal students log into, an AI tutor trained on their own materials, an assignment tracker, and a grading workflow. Build it once with Taskade Genesis. Here is what the published portal looks like when students open it:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  🎓 Grade 11 Biology            [ Sign in ] │
├───────────┬────────────────────────────────┤
│ Course    │  This week's reading      3    │
│ Homework  │  Due Friday               2  ⚠ │
│ AI Tutor  │  Graded & returned       18    │
│ Grades    │  Ask the tutor        [ Open ] │
└───────────┴────────────────────────────────┘

Students sign in at your own address, the AI tutor answers from your uploaded materials, and grades flow straight to the gradebook.

As a teacher, you can track lesson plans and assignments in one place. If you are a student, Taskade helps you manage group projects and keep up with your tasks. For administrators, it simplifies school activities and communication.

This guide shows how Taskade supports teachers, students, and administrators every day. 👇

Now start with a basic setup.

Set Up Your Workspace

Your workspace is the central hub for your classes, staff, and tasks. Here’s how to set it up:

Step 1: Create a Workspace

• Create a new workspace:
• In your dashboard, click the plus icon on the left.
• Enter the name of your workspace.
• (optional) Choose a workspace logo.
• Invite team members to the workspace.

Note: Sharing a workspace does not automatically grant members access to all folders inside it. Grant folder access manually (see the next step).

Step 2: Add Folders

Folders help categorize different aspects of your operations.

• Create a new folder:
• In a workspace, click ➕ New folder in the left navigation pane.
• Enter the name for your folder and choose a color palette.
• Choose a logo from one of the available emojis or upload your own.
• Invite new members to the folder.

There are many ways to organize your organization using folders.

Check the hierarchies below for some ideas.

Scenario 1: Student Groups

Organize student groups based on grade levels to streamline access for teachers.

Scenario 2: Administration

This administrative structure helps maintain essential records and facilitate communication within the educational institution.

Build Your Team of AI Agents

Teachers juggle lesson plans and grading. Administrators oversee everything from scheduling to communication. Taskade’s AI Teams lighten the load.

With AI Teams, you can create a squad of AI agents to handle many tasks:

• 📚 Curriculum planning

• 🧑‍🏫 Student engagement

• 🎓 School administration

• 📊 Data crunching

• 🗓️ Event planning

• ✨ And much more…

• Create your first AI agent:

• Go to the Agents tab at the top of your workspace/folder.

• Click ➕ Create agent.

• Click Generate in the Generate Agent tile.

• Copy one of the prompts below into the prompt box and press Enter.

• Repeat the steps to create more agents.

A Living Classroom Loop

Course materials feed the tutor agents. The tutor agents answer student questions. Student submissions feed the grading automations. The results flow back to the course materials as new examples. That is a self-improving classroom:

Every quiz answered, every assignment submitted, every grade given is new data the tutor agent can read next class. The classroom gets smarter every week without the teacher doing extra work.
