What's Next: The Future of Living Software

What Is Taskade Genesis?

Taskade Genesis is a no-code AI app builder that turns a text prompt into a complete, deployable web application in 2 to 15 minutes. The app you get is not a prototype or a wireframe. It is a production-ready system with a responsive UI, a structured database, embedded AI agents, and automated workflows.

Genesis launched in October 2025 as the biggest product leap in Taskade's 8-year history. It builds on the platform's existing capabilities — real-time collaboration, AI agents, and workflow automation — and connects them into a single creation flow.

Here is what makes it different from every other app builder on the market:

One prompt = one app. Describe your business problem in plain English. Genesis architects the entire solution.
Apps are alive. They are not static code exports. They run on Taskade's infrastructure, powered by your workspace data, and they improve as your workspace grows.
No code, no configuration, no deployment steps. Your app is live the moment it is built. Share the URL and users can start interacting immediately.
AI agents are embedded by default. Every Genesis app can include custom AI agents that understand your business context, trained on your documents and projects.
Automations connect everything. Workflows trigger on events, connect to 100+ external services, and use AI agents as intelligent decision-makers within the flow.

Genesis is not just an app builder. It is an agent hosting platform for living AI systems. That distinction matters because it means your apps do not just display information — they think, act, and evolve.

Genesis as a Vibe Coding Platform

Vibe coding — the term coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025 — describes building software by describing what you want instead of writing code. Genesis takes vibe coding further than any other platform:

Text to app, not text to code. Tools like Bolt.new, Lovable, and Cursor generate code files you must deploy yourself. Genesis generates complete, deployed applications.
Living output. Vibe coding with Genesis produces apps that self-improve through the Workspace DNA feedback loop.
No IDE required. Unlike developer-focused vibe coding tools, Genesis is designed for business teams — no terminal, no Git, no configuration.
Built-in intelligence. Every Genesis app can embed custom AI agents, making it the only vibe coding platform where your apps can think, not just display.

If you are looking for the best AI app builder that brings vibe coding to non-developers, Genesis is it.

"Software should be alive. And now, it is." — The Taskade Genesis Manifesto

How Genesis Works: The Workspace DNA Architecture

Every Taskade workspace has a unique Workspace DNA — the combination of your projects, agents, and automations that forms the genetic code of your working environment. Genesis reads this DNA to build apps that are pre-connected to your existing data and workflows.

This is the fundamental architectural difference between Genesis and every other app builder. Other tools start from a blank canvas. Genesis starts from your workspace.

The Tree of Life

Genesis is built on a three-pillar architecture called the Tree of Life:

Pillar	Component	Role	What It Powers
Memory	Projects and Databases	Data storage and knowledge base	Structured data, custom fields, 8 views, relationships
Intelligence	AI Agents v2	Reasoning and decision-making	Custom tools, persistent memory, multi-model AI
Execution	Automations	Workflows and actions	100+ integrations, branching logic, durable execution

These three pillars work together in a continuous feedback loop:

Memory feeds Intelligence. Agents read your project data to understand context.
Intelligence triggers Execution. Agents make decisions that activate automation workflows.
Execution creates Memory. Automations write results back into projects, enriching the data.

This loop is what makes Genesis apps "living." They are not static — they improve as more data flows through the system.

The Workspace Intelligence Score

Your workspace earns an Intelligence Score from 0 to 100, measured across three dimensions:

Component	Points	Impact
Each project	+2 points	More data for Genesis to draw from
Each AI agent	+10 points	More intelligence available to apps
Each automation	+5 points	More execution capabilities

The score maps to five tiers:

Score	Tier	Genesis Output Quality
0	Empty	Basic app from prompt only
1-25	Starter	Apps with basic context
26-50	Builder	Apps with moderate data integration
51-75	Expert	Rich apps with agent + automation integration
76-100	Genius	Maximum quality — apps leverage full workspace DNA

The takeaway: The richer your workspace, the better your Genesis apps. Before building your first app, consider populating your workspace with relevant projects, training a few agents, and setting up some automations.

EVE: The Unified Intelligence

EVE is the unified intelligence system that orchestrates everything inside Genesis. When you type a prompt, EVE:

Analyzes your prompt and extracts requirements
Scans your Workspace DNA for relevant data
Architects the application structure (UI, database schema, agent configuration, automation flows)
Generates the complete app with all components connected
Deploys it instantly with a shareable URL

You interact with EVE through natural language. There are no configuration screens, no drag-and-drop editors, and no settings panels. You describe what you want, and EVE builds it.

EVE Chat Interface

EVE's chat modes: EVE can switch between different interaction modes depending on your needs — from quick iterations to deep architectural planning.

EVE Chat Modes

The Three Pillars: Memory, Intelligence, Execution

Understanding the three pillars is essential to getting the most out of Genesis. Each pillar is a complete system on its own, but their power comes from how they interconnect.

Memory: Projects and Databases

Projects are the memory layer of your workspace. They store structured data with custom fields, support 8 different views, and serve as the knowledge foundation for AI agents.

8 Project Views:

View	Best For
List	Linear task tracking, checklists, outlines
Board	Kanban workflows, pipeline management, status tracking
Table	Spreadsheet-style data, bulk editing, custom fields
Mind Map	Brainstorming, idea mapping, hierarchical thinking
Gantt Chart	Timeline planning, dependencies, resource allocation
Calendar	Time-based planning, scheduling, deadlines
Timeline	Sequential timeline visualization, milestone tracking
Org Chart	Team structures, hierarchies, reporting lines

Custom Field Types:

Field Type	Use Case
Text	Names, descriptions, notes
Number	Quantities, prices, scores
Date	Deadlines, milestones, timestamps
Select	Status, category, priority (single choice)
Multi-Select	Tags, labels, multiple categories
Checkbox	Boolean flags, completion states
URL	Links, references, external resources
Person	Assignees, owners, reviewers

When Genesis creates an app, it auto-generates the optimal database schema based on your prompt. You can then customize fields, add relationships between databases, and import data from CSV, XLSX, or via API.

Intelligence: AI Agents v2

AI Agents are the intelligence layer. They are not chatbots — they are programmable digital teammates with persistent memory, custom tools, and the ability to take real actions across your workspace and external systems.

Core Agent Capabilities:

Capability	Description
Custom tools	Build tools from automation flows that agents can invoke autonomously
Slash commands	Define custom commands (e.g., `/summarize`, `/draft-email`)
22+ built-in tools	Web search, YouTube transcription, PDF processing, image generation, and more
Persistent memory	Agents remember context across sessions — they learn over time
Public embedding	Share agents publicly or embed them in websites and Genesis apps
Multi-model	Each agent can use a different AI model optimized for its task
Multi-agent teams	Teams of specialized agents that collaborate on complex tasks
Knowledge training	Train on documents, projects, URLs, cloud files, and media

Agent Interaction Methods:

Method	Description
Agent Chat	Direct 1-on-1 conversation
Project Chat	Agent answers questions about a specific project
Custom Commands	Trigger pre-defined actions
Agent Teams	Multiple agents collaborating
Public Chat	External users interact with your agent
Genesis App Embed	Agent embedded inside an app interface
Automation Step	Agent makes decisions within a workflow
API / MCP	Programmatic agent access

Execution: Automations

Automations are the execution layer — the part that makes things happen. They connect triggers to actions, with AI agents serving as intelligent decision-makers within the flow.

104 automation actions across these categories:

Category	Examples
AI Steps	ai.ask, ai.generate, ai.categorize, agent.ask, agent.run_command
Taskade Internal	Create project, update task, add comment, assign member
Communication	Slack message, Discord post, Teams notification, WhatsApp, SMS
Email	Gmail send/find/draft, Outlook
CRM	HubSpot create contact, Salesforce update, Apollo enrich
Productivity	Google Sheets append, Calendly, Typeform, Airtable
Social Media	Twitter/X post, LinkedIn share, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit
Development	GitHub create issue, Webhooks
Payments	Stripe create invoice, charge
E-Commerce	Shopify order management
Storage	Google Drive upload, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive
Content	WordPress post, RSS monitoring

Workflow Control Flow:

Control	Description
Sequential	Steps execute one after another
Branching	Conditional logic (if/else) based on data
Looping	Repeat steps for each item in a collection
Delay	Wait for a specified time or until a condition
Variables	Pass data between steps dynamically
Liquid Expressions	Dynamic content templating with filters

All automations run on Temporal durable execution infrastructure — enterprise-grade reliability that ensures workflows complete even if individual steps fail temporarily.

Automations as Execution Pillar

Create Your First App in Minutes

Building your first Genesis app takes four steps.

Step 1: Start with an Idea

Go to taskade.com/genesis and describe your app in plain English. Be specific about what the app should do, who will use it, and what data it should manage.

Good prompt example:

"Build a client onboarding portal for my marketing agency. Include an intake form for new clients, a project status dashboard, automated welcome emails via Gmail, and an AI assistant trained on our service catalog that can answer client questions."

Too vague:

"Build me a business app."

Step 2: Choose Your AI Model

Select the AI model that will power the generation. Different models have different strengths and credit costs:

Prompt and Model Selector

Model	Credits	Best For
Gemini 2.5 Flash	6	Quick iterations, simple apps
Claude Sonnet 4	60	Balanced quality and cost (recommended for most apps)
Claude Opus 4.5	300	Complex apps requiring deep reasoning
GPT-5.2	150	Creative applications, content-heavy apps

Step 3: Review and Iterate

Genesis builds your app and presents it for review. You can:

Chat to iterate: "Add a file upload field to the intake form" or "Make the dashboard show data from the last 30 days"
Refine the design: "Use a dark theme with blue accents" or "Make it glassmorphism style"
Connect data: "Link this to my existing Clients project" or "Train the AI agent on our FAQ document"

Each iteration creates a new version. You can restore any previous version at any time.

Generated App Split View - Chat and Preview

Step 4: Publish and Share

Click Publish to make your app live. Choose a visibility setting:

Visibility	Who Can Access	Use Case
Public	Anyone with the link	Customer-facing apps, marketing tools
Secret	Anyone with the exact link (not discoverable)	Internal tools, beta testing
Private	Only workspace members	Sensitive business applications

Your app gets a URL immediately. Share it via email, social media, embed it on your website, or publish it to the Community Gallery.

App Publish Modal

Time to value:

App Complexity	Time
Simple (forms, trackers, calculators)	2-5 minutes
Medium (dashboards, portals, CRMs)	5-10 minutes
Complex (multi-agent systems, advanced automations)	10-15 minutes
Enterprise (RBAC, integrations, custom domains)	15-30 minutes

The Makers Guide to AI Prompts

The quality of your Genesis app depends on the quality of your prompt. Here are 12 principles for writing prompts that produce great results.

The 12 Prompt Principles

#	Principle	What to Include	Example
1	Define objectives	What should the app accomplish?	"Manage all client invoices and track payment status"
2	Describe outcomes	What does success look like?	"Clients can view their invoices, pay online, and receive automated receipts"
3	Map the user journey	Who uses it and how?	"New clients fill out intake form → admin reviews → system sends welcome email"
4	Break down features	List specific capabilities	"Include: invoice creation, payment tracking, overdue alerts, monthly reports"
5	Specify tools	What integrations are needed?	"Connect to Stripe for payments and Gmail for notifications"
6	Set the tone	How should the AI agent communicate?	"Professional but friendly, like a senior account manager"
7	Define look and feel	Visual style preferences	"Clean, minimalist design with a dark sidebar and blue accents"
8	Set access controls	Who can see what?	"Clients see only their own invoices; admins see everything"
9	Plan for iteration	What might change?	"Start simple, then add payment reminders and late fees later"
10	Provide references	Upload examples, docs, wireframes	"Here is a screenshot of our current spreadsheet-based system"
11	Give examples	Show sample data or scenarios	"Example client: Acme Corp, $5,000 monthly retainer, net-30 terms"
12	Encourage experimentation	Try different approaches	"Generate two versions: one focused on self-serve, one admin-heavy"

Prompt Anatomy Quick Reference

A complete prompt has five parts:

1. WHO: "Build a [app type] for [audience]"
2. WHAT: "It should [core features]"
3. HOW: "When [trigger], then [action]"
4. LOOK: "Use a [style] design with [specific elements]"
5. CONNECT: "Integrate with [tools/data sources]"

Full prompt example:

"Build a help desk application for my SaaS product support team. It should include a ticket submission form for customers, automatic ticket routing based on issue category, an AI agent trained on our documentation that attempts to resolve common issues before escalating to humans, a Kanban board for the support team to manage tickets, SLA tracking with automated alerts when tickets approach deadlines, and integration with Slack to notify the team of high-priority tickets. Use a clean, professional design with a light theme. Customers should only see their own tickets. Support agents should see all tickets assigned to them. Managers should see everything plus analytics."

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Why It Fails	Better Approach
Too vague ("make me an app")	No direction for Genesis to follow	Describe the specific problem and desired outcome
Too technical ("use React with a PostgreSQL backend")	Genesis handles architecture decisions	Describe what, not how
Too long (2,000+ words)	Signal-to-noise ratio drops	Focus on requirements, not implementation details
No user context	App does not match audience needs	Specify who will use it and how

App Styles, Design, and Customization

AI Agents v2: Your Programmable Digital Teammates

AI Agents v2 is the most powerful feature in the Taskade ecosystem. These are not simple chatbots that respond to questions. They are programmable agents with persistent memory, custom tools, and the ability to take autonomous actions across your workspace and external systems.

What Makes Agents v2 Different

Feature	Traditional Chatbots	Taskade Agents v2
Memory	Resets each session	Persistent across sessions — learns over time
Tools	No tool access	22+ built-in tools + custom tools from automation flows
Actions	Text responses only	Can create tasks, send emails, update databases, trigger workflows
Knowledge	General training data only	Custom-trained on your documents, projects, URLs, and media
Deployment	Embedded widget	Chat, project, commands, public sharing, Genesis embed, API, MCP
Models	Single model	Multi-model — choose different models per agent
Collaboration	Single agent	Multi-agent teams with orchestration patterns

Creating an Agent

Four methods to create agents:

Method	Description	Time
From scratch	Configure name, persona, knowledge, tools manually	5-10 minutes
Generate with AI	Describe the agent's role and let AI configure it	1-2 minutes
Templates	Start from a pre-built agent template	Under 1 minute
Via EVE	Ask EVE to create an agent as part of a Genesis app	Automatic

Agent Configuration

Setting	Description	Example
Name	Agent identity	"Sophia — Client Success Manager"
Persona	Role and behavior description	"You are a senior client success manager who is professional, empathetic, and solution-oriented"
Tone	Communication style	Professional, Friendly, Technical, Casual
Introduction	First message to users	"Hi! I'm Sophia, your dedicated account manager. How can I help?"
Knowledge	Training data sources	Company docs, FAQs, product catalog, service agreements
Tools	Available actions	Gmail send, Slack notify, CRM update, web search
Model	AI model selection	Claude Sonnet 4 for reasoning, GPT-5.2 for creativity

Training Agents with Knowledge

Agents become powerful when trained on your specific data:

Knowledge Source	Description	Update Behavior
Documents	PDF, CSV, TXT, DOCX, MD, PPTX, XLSX, EPUB	Static — re-upload to update
Projects	Connect Taskade projects as knowledge	Dynamic — auto-updates when project changes
URLs	Web pages and documentation	Static snapshot at training time
YouTube	Video transcriptions	Static — transcribed at training time
Cloud Storage	Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive files	Static — fetched at connection time
Manual	Custom text entries	Editable anytime

Dynamic knowledge via projects is especially powerful. When you connect a project as a knowledge source, the agent's understanding updates in real-time as the project changes. This means agents always have the latest information without manual re-training.

Agent Training Interface

Multi-Agent Teams

For complex tasks, create teams of specialized agents that collaborate:

Architecture Pattern	Description	Example
Sequential Pipeline	Agent A processes, passes to Agent B	Research → Draft → Edit → Publish
Hub and Spoke	Coordinator agent delegates to specialists	Manager routes requests to Sales, Support, or Engineering agents
Parallel Fan-Out	Multiple agents work simultaneously	Three agents analyze the same data from different perspectives
Debate/Review	Agents review each other's work	Writer drafts, Reviewer critiques, Writer revises
Escalation Chain	Agents handle based on complexity	Tier 1 handles simple queries, escalates to Tier 2, then Tier 3

Example: Content Marketing Team

Create a three-agent team:

Research Agent — Trained on industry publications, uses web search tool, finds trending topics
Writer Agent — Trained on your brand guidelines and past content, drafts articles matching your voice
SEO Agent — Trained on your keyword targets, optimizes drafts for search ranking

Ask the team: "Create a blog post about the top 10 AI trends for small businesses in 2026." The Research Agent finds current data, the Writer Agent drafts the article, and the SEO Agent optimizes it — all within your workspace.

Agent Tools and Integrations

Tool Category	Tools Available
Taskade Native	Create/update/complete tasks, manage projects, add comments, assign members, update custom fields
Cross-Agent	agent.ask (query another agent), agentTeam.ask (query a team)
Web & Media	Web search, webpage extraction, YouTube transcription, PDF processing
Communication	Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, WhatsApp, SMS, Zoom
Email	Gmail (send, find, draft), Outlook
CRM	HubSpot, Salesforce, Apollo
Productivity	Google Sheets, Google Calendar, Calendly, Typeform, Airtable
Social Media	Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit
Development	GitHub, Webhooks
Payments	Stripe
Storage	Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive
Custom	Build custom tools from automation flows

Human-in-the-loop: For sensitive external actions (sending emails, posting to social media, making payments), agents can be configured to request human approval before executing.

Multi-Model AI: 11+ Models, 3 Providers, Zero Lock-In

Taskade is the only workspace platform that gives you access to 11+ AI models from three major providers. This means you can choose the right model for each task, agent, and workflow.

Mode	Additional Credits	When to Use
Standard	0	Most tasks
Extended Thinking	+4 to +100	Complex logic, multi-step reasoning, architectural decisions

Key advantage: You can switch models at any time, even mid-build. Start with a powerful model for the initial generation, then switch to a cheaper model for iterative tweaks.

Projects as Databases: The Memory Pillar Deep Dive

In Genesis, Taskade projects are not just task lists — they are structured databases that serve as the memory layer for your applications.

How Projects Become Databases

When Genesis creates an app, it auto-generates projects with:

Custom fields tailored to your data requirements
Optimized views for different user personas (Table for admins, Board for workflows, Calendar for scheduling)
Relationships between databases (e.g., Clients linked to Projects linked to Invoices)
Unique constraints to prevent duplicate entries
Filters and sorts for organizing data

Database Operations

Operation	How	Example
Create records	Via app forms, API, or manual entry	New client fills out intake form → record created
Read/query	Via app views, agent queries, or automation variables	Dashboard displays all open tickets sorted by priority
Update	Via app interface, agent action, or automation step	Automation marks invoice as "paid" when Stripe webhook fires
Delete	Via app interface or API	Admin removes a cancelled order
Import	CSV, XLSX, copy-paste, API	Bulk import 500 contacts from a spreadsheet
Export	CSV, PDF, Markdown, image	Generate monthly report as PDF

8 Views of the Same Data

The same underlying data can be visualized in 8 different ways:

View	Shows	Best For
List	Hierarchical task list with nesting	Outlines, checklists, project breakdowns
Board	Kanban columns grouped by status/field	Pipeline management, workflow tracking
Table	Rows and columns with all custom fields	Data entry, bulk editing, spreadsheet users
Mind Map	Radial tree of relationships	Brainstorming, knowledge mapping
Gantt Chart	Timeline bars with dependencies	Project planning, resource allocation
Calendar	Date-based view of records with due dates	Scheduling, deadline tracking, event planning
Timeline	Sequential timeline layout	Milestone tracking, project progress, history
Org Chart	Hierarchical structure	Team management, reporting structures

The Self-Reinforcing Feedback Loop

Here is why projects-as-databases matters for Genesis apps:

Apps write data to projects. A customer fills out a form → a new record is created in the database.
Agents read from projects. An AI agent trained on that project now knows about the new customer.
Automations trigger on project changes. A workflow fires when a new record is added, sending a welcome email.
The cycle repeats. Each interaction enriches the workspace DNA, making future apps smarter.

This is the Genesis Loop — the continuous cycle of Memory feeding Intelligence feeding Execution feeding Memory.

Automations and 100+ Integrations: The Execution Engine

Automations are what transform Genesis apps from static tools into living systems. They connect events to actions, with AI agents serving as intelligent orchestrators within the workflow.

Creating Automations

Method	Description
Natural language	"When a new client signs up, send a welcome email via Gmail and create a project with onboarding tasks"
Auto mode	Describe the workflow and let Genesis build it
Agent tool mode	Create a flow that agents can invoke as a custom tool
Workflow mode	Build step-by-step with visual builder
Form mode	Generate a form that triggers an automation on submission
Templates	Start from 50+ pre-built automation templates

Automation Building Interface

AI-Powered Automation Steps

What makes Taskade automations unique is the ability to include AI agents as steps in the workflow:

AI Step	What It Does	Example
ai.ask	Ask a question, get a response	Analyze sentiment of customer feedback
ai.generate	Generate content	Create a personalized response to a support ticket
ai.categorize	Classify input into categories	Route tickets to the right department
ai.prompt	Run a prompt template	Generate a weekly summary report
agent.ask	Query a specific trained agent	Ask your product expert agent about a feature request
agent.run_command	Execute a custom agent command	Run `/draft-response` on incoming emails
agent.add_knowledge	Feed new data to an agent	Agent learns from each resolved ticket

Workflow Example: Automated Client Onboarding

Trigger: Form submission (new client intake form)
  ↓
Step 1: ai.categorize → Route by client size (Small/Medium/Enterprise)
  ↓
Branch: If Enterprise
  → Step 2a: agent.ask (Account Manager agent) → "Draft a personalized welcome message for [client]"
  → Step 3a: Gmail → Send personalized welcome email
  → Step 4a: Slack → Notify #enterprise-team
Branch: Else
  → Step 2b: Gmail → Send standard welcome email template
  ↓
Step 5: Create Taskade project → Onboarding checklist from template
Step 6: Assign tasks → Route to appropriate team members
Step 7: Google Calendar → Schedule kickoff meeting
Step 8: HubSpot → Create contact record
Step 9: agent.add_knowledge → Update account manager agent with new client data

All of this runs on Temporal durable execution infrastructure, which means:

Workflows resume automatically after failures
Each step has retry logic built in
You get monitoring, error tracking, and audit logs
Non-AI automation steps are free — only AI steps consume credits

Publishing, Sharing, and the Community Gallery

Once your app is built, Genesis provides multiple distribution channels.

Visibility Settings

Setting	Discoverability	Access	Use Case
Public	Searchable, indexable	Anyone with the link	Customer-facing apps, marketing tools, community apps
Secret	Not searchable	Only people with the exact link	Internal tools, beta testing, client-specific apps
Private	Not searchable	Only workspace members	Sensitive business applications, internal dashboards

Publishing Strategies

Strategy	Behavior	Best For
Auto	Every change is live immediately	Development and testing, rapid iteration
Manual	Changes only go live when you explicitly publish	Production apps, coordinated releases

App Version History

Password Protection

Add password protection to any published app. Users must enter the password before accessing the app. This works with all visibility settings and adds an extra layer of security beyond the link itself.

Custom Domains (Business+ Plan)

Deploy apps on your own domain:

Feature	Description
Custom URL	app.yourcompany.com instead of taskade.com/share/apps/...
SSL	Automatic HTTPS certificate
White-label	Remove Taskade branding
Custom favicon	Your brand icon in the browser tab
Custom OG images	Branded social media previews
GA4 tracking	Google Analytics on your app
OIDC authentication	Enterprise single sign-on

Community Gallery

The Community Gallery is where makers publish apps for others to discover and clone.

70+ apps across 11 categories:

Category	App Count	Examples
Business & Operations	12	CRM dashboard, invoice generator, project tracker
Productivity & Task Management	8	Habit tracker, time management, goal setter

Genesis vs Code Generators: Why Living Systems Win

The market is full of "AI app builders" and vibe coding tools. But most of them are code generators — they output React files, databases, and API routes that you must host, maintain, and connect yourself. Whether you call it a text-to-app builder, a vibe coding platform, or a no-code AI builder, the question is the same: does it give you a working product or just code? Genesis takes a fundamentally different approach.

Living Systems vs Static Code

Dimension	Code Generators (Bolt, Lovable, V0)	Taskade Genesis
Output	Static code files	Deployed living system
Hosting	Self-host or configure deployment	Included — app is live immediately
Database	Manual setup (Supabase, Firebase, etc.)	Auto-generated, connected, live
AI Agents	None	Built-in, custom-trained, multi-model
Automations	None	104 actions, 100+ integrations, durable execution
Analytics	None (add Google Analytics manually)	Built-in dashboard (Tinybird)
Version History	Git commits (manual)	Automatic with one-click restore
Iteration	Edit code, redeploy	Chat to change, instant update
Time to deploy	30 minutes to hours (+ hosting setup)	2-15 minutes, live immediately
Ongoing maintenance	Developer required	Chat-based updates, no code
Self-improving	No	Yes — feedback loop enriches workspace DNA
Custom domains	Manual DNS + hosting config	One-click setup (Business+)
Community gallery	No	70+ apps to clone and remix

Cost Comparison

Cost Category	Traditional Development	Code Generator + Hosting	Taskade Genesis
Initial build	$50,000-200,000	$0-500 + 10-20 hours	$0 + 15 minutes
Hosting	$500-2,000/month	$20-100/month	Included
AI API costs	$1,000-5,000/month	$50-500/month	Included
Maintenance	$2,000-10,000/month	$500-2,000/month (developer)	$0 (chat-based)
Monthly total	$3,500-17,000	$570-2,600	$20/month (Pro)
Annual total	$42,000-204,000	$6,840-31,200	$240/year

When to Use Genesis vs Code Generators

Scenario	Best Choice	Why
Business app with AI agents and automations	Genesis	Only Genesis has built-in agents and automation engine
Custom-designed marketing website	Code generator	Genesis focuses on apps, not pixel-perfect marketing sites
Internal tool for your team	Genesis	Faster, includes RBAC, no deployment hassle
Customer-facing portal	Genesis	Built-in analytics, custom domains, password protection
Complex frontend with custom animations	Code generator	Genesis prioritizes function over custom animation
Prototype for investor demo	Genesis	Working product in minutes, not a mockup
App that needs to learn and improve	Genesis	Workspace DNA feedback loop
Open-source project	Code generator	Genesis apps run on Taskade infrastructure

Students can only see courses they are enrolled in. When a student completes all lessons in a course, automatically generate and send a completion certificate."

Features demonstrated: Structured content, AI tutor, progress tracking, RBAC, completion automation, certificate generation

8. Financial Expense Tracker

Prompt:

"Create an expense tracking application for our small business. Employees submit expenses with a description, amount, category (Travel, Meals, Office Supplies, Software, Other), date, and receipt image. Managers approve or reject expenses in a Kanban board. When approved, log the expense in Google Sheets. Generate a monthly summary report with totals by category, by employee, and trends over the last 6 months. Send the report to the finance team via email on the first of each month."

Features demonstrated: Image uploads, approval workflows, Google Sheets integration, AI report generation, scheduled email

9. Event Management Hub

Prompt:

"Build an event management system for a conference organizer. Track events with name, date, venue, capacity, status (Planning → Confirmed → Completed), speakers, and sponsors. Include an RSVP form for attendees. Show a Calendar view for scheduling and a Table view for management. When RSVPs reach 80% capacity, send an alert to the organizer. When an event date is tomorrow, send a reminder email to all registered attendees. An AI assistant can answer attendee questions about the event agenda and logistics."

Features demonstrated: Calendar + Table views, RSVP forms, capacity alerts, attendee reminders, AI assistant, event management

10. Multi-Agent Research Team

Prompt:

"Create a research system with three specialized AI agents working together. Agent 1: 'Researcher' — trained on our industry publications and equipped with web search tool, finds and summarizes the latest trends. Agent 2: 'Analyst' — takes the researcher's findings and creates structured analysis with pros, cons, and recommendations. Agent 3: 'Writer' — takes the analysis and produces a polished report in our brand voice. Include a dashboard showing recent research topics, status, and outputs. When the Writer completes a report, save it as a PDF in Google Drive and send a Slack notification."

Features demonstrated: Multi-agent team, agent specialization, sequential pipeline pattern, Google Drive integration, Slack notification

Advanced: MCP, API, and Space Bundles

For power users and developers, Genesis offers advanced integration capabilities.

Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Taskade supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that lets AI tools connect to your workspace data. This means you can interact with your Taskade workspace from:

Tool	Integration
Claude Desktop	Access Taskade projects, agents, and data directly from Claude
Cursor	Reference Taskade data while coding
AI IDEs	Any MCP-compatible development environment
Custom apps	Build your own MCP client to interact with Taskade

MCP gives your external AI tools access to the same Workspace DNA that powers Genesis, enabling a unified AI workflow across all your tools.

Taskade API

The Taskade API provides programmatic access to your workspace:

Endpoint Category	Capabilities
Projects	CRUD operations, custom fields, task management
Agents	Chat, knowledge management, configuration
Automations	Trigger, monitor, configure workflows
Media	Upload, manage, query files
Workspace	Members, settings, permissions

Use the API to build custom integrations, sync data with external systems, or extend Genesis apps with functionality not available through the natural language interface.

Space Bundles: Business in a Box

Space Bundles package an entire workspace ecosystem — projects, agents, automations, and Genesis apps — into a single distributable unit.

Use Case	What's in the Bundle
Client onboarding kit	Intake form app + CRM project + Client success agent + Welcome email automation
Marketing starter pack	Content calendar + SEO agent + Social posting automation + Analytics dashboard app
Sales pipeline	Lead tracker + Sales agent + HubSpot sync automation + Proposal generator app
Product team kit	Sprint board + Bug tracker agent + GitHub sync automation + Roadmap app

Bundles can be shared across workspaces, sold as templates, or published to the Community Gallery. They are the fastest way to replicate a working business system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started

How long does it take to build a Genesis app?

Simple apps (forms, trackers, calculators) take 2-5 minutes. Medium-complexity apps (dashboards, portals, CRMs) take 5-10 minutes. Complex enterprise systems with multiple agents and automations take 10-30 minutes.

Do I need any technical knowledge?

No. Genesis is 100% natural language. Describe what you want in plain English, and the system builds it. You can iterate by chatting, not coding.

Can I change my app after Genesis builds it?

Yes. Describe any changes in the chat and Genesis implements them immediately. Every change creates a new version, so you can always restore a previous state.

What if my first attempt is not right?

You have two options: iterate on the current version ("Add a file upload field to the form and make the button blue") or start fresh with a more detailed prompt. Version history means you never lose work.

AI and Models

Which AI model should I use for Genesis?

Start with Claude Sonnet 4 for the best quality-to-cost ratio. Use Gemini 2.5 Flash for quick styling iterations (10x cheaper). Reserve Claude Opus 4.5 for apps with complex business logic.

Can I switch models during a build?

Yes. Change models at any time in the model picker. Use a powerful model for the initial generation, then switch to a cheaper model for tweaks.

What are extended thinking models?

Extended thinking mode makes the AI reason more deeply before responding. It costs extra credits but produces higher-quality outputs for complex tasks like multi-step business logic and architectural decisions.

Publishing and Sharing

How do I publish my app?

Click the Publish button. Your app gets a URL immediately. Choose Public (anyone can access), Secret (only people with the exact link), or Private (workspace members only).

Can I use my own domain?

Yes, on Business+ plans. Configure a custom domain (e.g., app.yourcompany.com) with automatic SSL, white-label branding, and custom favicon.

Do published apps cost credits?

No. Once published, your apps run without consuming any AI credits. Only building and iterating uses credits. This means your app can serve unlimited users at no additional AI cost.

Data and Security

Where is my data stored?

Data is stored on Taskade's secure infrastructure. Enterprise plans offer data residency options for compliance requirements.

Who can access my apps?

You control access through visibility settings (Public, Secret, Private), password protection, and the 7-tier RBAC system (Owner, Maintainer, Editor, Commenter, Collaborator, Participant, Viewer).

Can I export my data?

Yes. Export project data as CSV, PDF, Markdown, or images. Use the API for programmatic data access.

Pricing

Can I build apps on the free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 1,000 AI credits per month, enough for 1-2 simple apps. Upgrade to Pro ($20/month) for 50,000 credits and full model access.

What happens when I run out of credits?

Existing published apps keep running. You cannot create new apps or iterate until credits renew, you purchase more, or upgrade your plan.

How do purchased credits work?

Buy additional credits at 2,500 per $1 USD on paid plans. Purchased credits never expire. Monthly credits are consumed first; purchased credits are used only after the monthly allocation runs out.

What's Next: The Future of Living Software

Taskade Genesis represents a fundamental shift in how software is created and maintained. Instead of writing code that must be manually updated, you describe what you need and get a living system that evolves with your business.

The roadmap for 2026 and beyond focuses on three themes:

Deeper intelligence. Agents will become more capable, with longer memory, more sophisticated tool use, and better multi-agent coordination. The goal is agents that can manage entire business processes autonomously.

Broader connectivity. More integrations, more automation actions, and deeper connections to the tools your business already uses. Every new integration enriches the Workspace DNA and makes Genesis apps more powerful.

Greater accessibility. Lower the barrier to entry so that anyone — regardless of technical background, budget, or geography — can build the software they need. The free tier, Community Gallery, and Space Bundles all serve this mission.

The Genesis Manifesto stated it clearly: "Build without permission." That is not just a tagline. It is a design principle. Every feature decision is measured against the question: "Does this help someone who was told 'no' build the thing they need?"

If you have an idea, you have everything you need to start.
