Overview Questions

What is Taskade Genesis?

Genesis turns your business ideas into working apps. Describe what you need in plain English, and Genesis builds it with databases, automation, and AI built-in. Not a mockup or prototype, but fully functional software that can handle real users and business processes.

How is this different from other app builders?

Genesis gives you the complete backend: Databases, Automation Workflows, AI Agents, and Integrations. Other tools just make interfaces. Genesis creates complete business applications with AI-powered features connected to your workspace data.

What kinds of apps can I build?

Customer-facing apps: Customer portals, booking tools, feedback forms, support systems, registration platforms
Internal tools: Team dashboards, inventory systems, project trackers, workflow automation, employee onboarding
Business processes: Lead management, expense reporting, document workflows, approval systems, analytics dashboards

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Genesis understands business language and handles technical implementation. If you can explain a business problem, you can build an app to solve it.

Building Your App

How long does it take to build an app?

Simple apps: 2-5 minutes for basic forms, feedback systems, or simple workflows
Complex business applications: 10-15 minutes including customization, testing, and integration setup
Enterprise solutions: 15-30 minutes for sophisticated multi-user systems with advanced automation

Can I change my app after Genesis builds it?

Yes. Describe any changes you want and Genesis implements them immediately. Your app evolves with your business needs. All you need to do is ask - no technical knowledge required.

What if the first version isn't quite right?

Make specific requests for changes: "Add file upload to the contact form and make the submit button blue"
Start fresh with more detail: Provide a more comprehensive description of your requirements
Iterate gradually: Genesis gets better results with clearer, more specific requirements

How do I test my app before sharing it?

Use the Preview feature to interact with your app exactly as users will. Test all functionality, try different user scenarios, and make sure automations work correctly before publishing.

Sharing and Access

How do I publish my app?

Every app gets an individual URL immediately. Click "Open" to view your live app and copy the URL from your browser. You can share this link directly anywhere: email, social media, your website, or however you distribute to users.

Can I use my own domain name?

This feature is coming soon. You'll be able to use your own branded URL (like app.yourcompany.com) instead of the default Genesis link, giving your apps a more professional appearance that matches your brand.

Can I control who uses my app?

Yes. Just tell Genesis what access you want and it sets it up for you. Examples:

• "Make this app private with password protection"
• "Only allow users with company email addresses"
• "Let customers see their own data but not others'"
• "Give managers full access but limit staff to read-only"

How do users access my app?

Send them the link. No downloads or installations required. The apps you create with Genesis work in any web browser on desktop, tablet, or mobile phone.
