Workspace DNA

Definition: Workspace DNA is the genetic code of your living system. Everything you've built in Taskade — projects, AI agents, automations, knowledge — becomes the foundation that powers your Genesis apps. Your workspace is the soil; Genesis is the growth.

What is Workspace DNA?

When you describe your app to Genesis, it doesn't build from scratch — it awakens the living DNA already in your workspace. Your agents, automations, projects, and knowledge become the genetic code that powers your unique application.

The Four Strands of Workspace DNA:

🧬 Knowledge DNA (Projects & Media)
Your business data and intelligence stored in flexible, living structures that evolve with your needs

🧠 Intelligence DNA (AI Agents)
Your business brain that learns, adapts, and makes decisions based on your unique processes

⚡ Action DNA (Automations)
Your business reflexes that respond instantly to events and connect to 100+ external tools

💾 Living Memory (Workspace Integration)
Context-aware system that understands your business relationships and workflows

How Workspace DNA Powers Genesis

Traditional App Builders:

• Start from blank templates
• Require manual configuration
• No awareness of your business
• Generic, one-size-fits-all solutions

Genesis with Workspace DNA:

• Builds from your existing knowledge
• Inherits your AI agent training
• Understands your automation patterns
• Creates solutions unique to your business

Building Your DNA Over Time

Every action in Taskade strengthens your Workspace DNA:

Projects You Create → Become the memory your apps draw from
Agents You Train → Become the intelligence your apps use
Automations You Build → Become the actions your apps execute
Knowledge You Store → Becomes the context your apps understand

The more you use Taskade, the more powerful your Genesis apps become.

DNA Inheritance in Genesis Apps

When you create a new Genesis app, it inherits capabilities from your workspace:

Customer Portal App Inherits:

• Customer data from existing projects
• Support agent training from your AI agents
• Notification workflows from existing automations
• Business context from your knowledge base

Inventory App Inherits:

• Product catalogs from existing projects
• Forecasting intelligence from trained agents
• Reorder automations from existing workflows
• Supplier relationships from your database

The Compounding Effect

Workspace DNA compounds over time:

Month 1: Basic projects and simple automations
Month 3: Trained agents with business knowledge
Month 6: Rich interconnected data and sophisticated workflows
Year 1: Comprehensive business intelligence powering instant app creation

Each Genesis app you create adds to your DNA, making future apps even more powerful.

Sharing and Cloning DNA

Community Sharing:
When you share apps to the Taskade Community, you share a snapshot of your Workspace DNA. Others can clone your apps and inherit your proven configurations.

Team Scaling:
New team members inherit the collective Workspace DNA, getting up to speed instantly with established processes and knowledge.

Cross-Workspace Transfer:
AI Kits allow you to package and transfer Workspace DNA between different workspaces or organizations.

Protecting Your DNA

The Living Ecosystem

Think of your workspace as a garden:

• Workspace DNA is the soil, rich with nutrients
• Genesis is the gardener, knowing how to cultivate
• Apps are the plants, growing from your unique conditions
• Users are the sunlight, providing energy for growth

Every interaction feeds the ecosystem. Every app strengthens the DNA. Every success compounds the intelligence.
