Core Concepts
- Taskade Genesis is the Taskade product that builds a complete, live app from a plain-English
prompt. See What is Taskade Genesis?. - Taskade EVE is the meta-agent that plans and builds inside Taskade Genesis, and the assistant
you chat with to change an app after it ships. See Taskade EVE: The Meta-Agent. - Workspace DNA is the model behind every Taskade Genesis app: Memory (your projects and
data), Intelligence (your AI agents), and Execution (your automations), working together
behind an interface. See How Taskade Genesis Works: Workspace DNA. - A workspace is the shared space that holds your projects, agents, automations, and apps, and
the team members who work in them. See What is a Workspace?. - A project is a Taskade workspace item that stores structured data, such as tasks, records, or
a knowledge base. See Projects and databases. - Project views are the different ways you can look at one project's data, such as a list or a
board, with no separate rebuild for each one. See What Are Project Views?.
Building With AI
- A prompt is the plain-English instruction you give Taskade Genesis or Taskade EVE to build or
change something. See A Maker's Guide to AI Prompts. - An AI agent is a configurable AI teammate with its own instructions, memory, and tools, built
into your workspace. See Custom agents. - Agent knowledge is the reference material, such as files or project data, that you give an
agent so its answers use your own information. See Agent Knowledge & Memory. - Frontier models are the 15+ AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and open-weight providers that
power Taskade EVE and your agents. See Multi-Model AI Access. - Credits are the unit Taskade uses to meter AI usage across prompts, agent runs, and
automation steps. See AI Models & Credit Costs. - Media covers the files, images, and documents you give an agent or a project so it has real
source material to work from. See Agent Media Commands. - Chat modes point a Taskade EVE conversation at one specific layer of your app, such as its
data or its interface, instead of the whole build. See Chat Modes: Point Taskade EVE at the Right Layer. - Slash commands are shortcuts you type in a Taskade EVE chat to trigger a specific action
without describing it in full sentences. See Taskade EVE Slash Commands. - The Element Selector is the point-and-click tool that lets you pick a piece of your app's
interface and describe a change to it in plain English. See Edit Apps with the Element Selector.
Automating Work
- An automation is a set of steps that runs on its own when a trigger fires, connecting your
projects, agents, and outside services. See Automations: The Execution Pillar. - A trigger is the event that starts an automation, such as a new form submission or a new row
in a project. See Automation Triggers. - An action is one step an automation performs once its trigger fires, such as sending a
message or creating a task. See Automation Actions. - An integration is a connection between Taskade and an outside service that lets triggers pull
events in and actions push data out. See Integrations Everywhere: All Four Layers of Workspace DNA. - A webhook is a URL an outside service can call to start a Taskade automation the moment
something happens elsewhere. See Webhooks. - MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that connects AI tools to outside tools and
data. In Taskade, an automation can call an outside MCP server, and AI tools such as Claude or
Cursor can reach your workspace through the hosted Taskade MCP server on paid plans. See MCP Connectors.
Publishing and Sharing
- A Taskade Genesis app is the live app you get from one prompt, with its own web address. See Create Your First App.
- Publish makes a Taskade Genesis app reachable outside your workspace, with a visibility level you
choose. See Publish and Clone Your Apps. - A custom domain is your own web address pointed at a Taskade Genesis app instead of its
default Taskade link, available on the Business plan and up. See Custom Domains for Your Apps. - An App Kit is a Taskade Genesis app packaged so another creator can clone it into their own workspace,
for free or for a price you set. See Builder Community & App Kits. - Clone copies an App Kit's projects, agents, and automations into your own workspace so you
can adjust and run it yourself. See Builder Community & App Kits. - The Community Gallery is the public showcase where creators publish Taskade Genesis apps for
other users to try or clone. See Browse & Clone Community Apps. - App User sign-in lets the visitors of a Taskade Genesis app log in with their own account, on every
plan including Free. Sign-in confirms who a visitor is. Showing each visitor only their own data
is a separate, opt-in setup step. See App Users (Beta): End-User Management for Taskade Genesis Apps. - GenesisAuth is the built-in sign-in system a Taskade Genesis app uses to create app-specific customer
accounts, separate from your team's workspace sign-in. See GenesisAuth: Built-In Login for Your Apps. - A template is a pre-built project structure you start from instead of building one from
scratch. See Template Gallery. - A share link is a URL that gives another person access to one project without adding them to
your whole workspace. See Share a Project / Add Collaborators. - Version history keeps earlier states of a Taskade Genesis app so you can review or restore one
after a change. See App Revisions & Restore.
Roles and Access
- Roles are the permission levels Taskade assigns to workspace members, ranging from Owner down
to Viewer. See User Roles & Permissions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Taskade Genesis?
Taskade Genesis is the Taskade product that turns a plain-English prompt into a complete, live app,
built from four Workspace DNA layers: projects, agents, automations, and the app interface.
What is Taskade EVE?
Taskade EVE is the meta-agent that plans and assembles a Taskade Genesis app, and the assistant you
keep chatting with afterward to change the app, answer questions, or run tasks on your behalf.
What is Workspace DNA?
Workspace DNA is the model behind every Taskade Genesis app. Memory stores your data, Intelligence
is your AI agents, and Execution is your automations, feeding each other in a loop under one interface.
What is an AI agent?
An AI agent is a configurable AI teammate inside your workspace, with its own instructions,
knowledge, and a toolkit it uses to read data, take actions, and talk to your users.
What is a Taskade Genesis app?
A Taskade Genesis app is the live product you get from a prompt, hosted at its own web address
the moment you publish it.
What is an App Kit?
An App Kit is a Taskade Genesis app packaged for cloning, so another creator can copy its projects, agents,
and automations into their own workspace, for free or for a price the original creator sets.
Does App User sign-in keep every visitor's data separate?
Sign-in alone only confirms who a visitor is. Showing each visitor only their own records needs a
separate, opt-in row-scoping setup, tested with a second account before you rely on it.
What is MCP?
MCP, short for Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that connects AI tools to outside tools
and data through one consistent connection. In Taskade, an automation can call an outside MCP
server, and AI tools such as Claude or Cursor can connect to your workspace through the hosted
Taskade MCP server on paid plans.
