Overview
When a Taskade Genesis prompt is ambiguous, Taskade EVE now pauses and asks targeted clarifying questions instead of guessing. Answer in the chat, and Taskade EVE folds your answers into the same generation run.
TL;DR: Taskade EVE's Ask-Questions step catches ambiguity mid-build and asks specific clarifying questions before generating. The first version of your app lands closer to what you actually wanted. Pair with Taskade EVE Commands and the Memory Graph for a faster build loop.
Here is the loop at a glance. Your prompt goes in, Taskade EVE checks for gaps, and you only answer the questions that matter before it builds.
When does Taskade EVE ask?
Taskade EVE asks questions when your prompt:
- Has more than one reasonable interpretation
- Is missing a key detail like an audience, output format, or data shape
- Could ship as multiple distinct apps depending on a small choice
- Calls for a personal preference Taskade EVE cannot infer
If the prompt is clear, Taskade EVE skips the questions and goes straight to building.
Most questions fall into four buckets. Each one closes a gap that would otherwise force Taskade EVE to guess.
| Question type | Why Taskade EVE asks it |
|---|---|
| Audience | Decides if the app is private to you, shared with a team, or public. |
| Data | Sets the records and fields, like customers, jobs, or invoices. |
| Look | Picks the theme, light or dark, and whether to add your branding. |
| Scope | Confirms one focused app instead of three loosely related ones. |
How the conversation flows
- You send a prompt to Taskade EVE in the Taskade Genesis chat.
- Taskade EVE reads it and detects ambiguity.
- Taskade EVE asks 1 to 3 short clarifying questions in a single message.
- You answer in chat. Multiple answers in one reply work fine.
- Taskade EVE generates the app using your answers as direct inputs.
The whole exchange stays in the same thread, so the next iteration has full context.
Here is how a real exchange looks. You start vague, Taskade EVE asks two or three crisp questions, you answer, and it builds.

Tips for getting useful questions
- Bring your goal up front. "Build me a dashboard for our Series A board update" gives Taskade EVE a strong frame.
- Mention non-obvious constraints. Audience, plan limits, security, branding.
- Skip implementation details. Taskade EVE picks the right components, you pick the outcome.
When to skip the questions
If you already know the answers, write them inline and Taskade EVE will skip asking and proceed straight to building. A long, specific brief is just as welcome as an open-ended one.
