Three Pillars
Definition: The Three Pillars architecture is the foundation of Taskade Genesis - every app you create is powered by three living layers that connect memory, intelligence, and motion: Projects (Memory), AI Agents (Intelligence), and Automations (Execution).
Why Every Other AI Builder Falls Short
Traditional AI App Builders:
Give you a shell - a pretty interface with no brain, no memory, no ability to act. You have to connect everything yourself.
Taskade Genesis with Three Pillars:
Gives you a living system that thinks. Memory, intelligence, motion, and storage - all built in from the start.
🧠 Memory Pillar (Projects & Databases)
What It Does:
Projects remember. They store your data, track your history, and serve as the living database for your apps.
Key Capabilities:
- Real-time data sync between apps and projects
- Agents learn directly from your projects for smarter insights
- Automatic structure based on your content
- Version tracking and edit history
- Custom fields and data types
Example:
Your customer portal app connects to a Projects database that stores customer information, support tickets, and interaction history - all automatically synced and accessible to your AI agents.
🤖 Intelligence Pillar (AI Agents)
What It Does:
Agents think, learn, and act. They understand your processes, answer questions, and make decisions based on your unique context.
Key Capabilities:
- Learn from your workspace projects for accurate insights
- Embed directly in Taskade Genesis apps
- Connect to Agent Inbox for customer conversations
- Access latest AI models (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google)
- Multi-agent orchestration for complex tasks
Example:
Your booking system includes an AI agent that knows your services, availability, and pricing - answering customer questions 24/7 and handling appointment scheduling automatically.
⚡ Execution Pillar (Automations)
What It Does:
Automations set things in motion. They respond to events, trigger workflows, and connect your apps to 100+ external tools.
Key Capabilities:
- Trigger automations from external tools via webhooks or APIs
- Connect to Stripe, Google Sheets, Slack, and more
- Remember context between runs
- Branch, loop, and filter for complex logic
- Chat with AI to build workflows
Example:
When a customer books an appointment, automations send a confirmation email, add an event to your calendar, create a client project, and notify your team on Slack - all automatically.
How the Pillars Work Together
Scenario: Customer Support App
- Memory (Projects): Stores customer data, support tickets, knowledge base articles
- Intelligence (Agents): Understands customer questions, searches knowledge, provides answers
- Execution (Automations): Creates tickets, sends notifications, escalates to humans
The Result: A support system that thinks, remembers, and acts - without you building any of it manually.
The Living Software Advantage
Static Apps:
- Separate database setup required
- AI integration takes weeks
- Automation connections are complex
- Nothing learns or improves
Taskade Genesis with Three Pillars:
- Database built-in automatically
- AI agents ready from the start
- 100+ integrations pre-connected
- Everything learns and improves over time
Your workspace is the system behind every app you create.
Getting Started with Three Pillars
Step 1: Create projects to serve as your app's memory
Step 2: Train agents with your business knowledge
Step 3: Connect automations to handle events
Step 4: Build your Taskade Genesis app - it automatically uses all three pillars
The Magic: When you describe your app to Taskade Genesis, it awakens the living DNA already in your workspace. Your existing projects, agents, and automations become instantly available as the intelligent backend.
