Core Platform Terms

Essential vocabulary for understanding Taskade's core platform architecture and fundamental concepts.

A-C

Action DNA: One of the four Living DNA strands representing automations and integrations that act as your workspace's nervous system, detecting events and coordinating responses across 100+ connected tools.

AI Agent: Think of it as a smart colleague who never sleeps, never forgets anything, and actually enjoys doing repetitive tasks. They learn how you work and get better at helping you over time.

AI Kit: Like a recipe box for your workspace setup. When you create something that works really well (like a project template with agents and automations), you can package it up and share it with others or reuse it later.

Automation: The magic that makes boring, repetitive work happen automatically. When something happens (like a new task gets added), something else happens automatically (like sending a notification to your team).

Clone App: Found an app that works perfectly? Clone it! This copies everything - the design, the data structure, the automations - so you can use the same setup for different projects or teams.

Custom Fields: Specialized data types that can be added to nodes and tasks, including numbers, dates, selections, calculations, and other structured information.

D-G

DNA (Living DNA): Taskade's revolutionary architecture with four interconnected strands (Intelligence, Action, Knowledge, Evolution) that make workspaces learn, adapt, and evolve.

Evolution DNA: The fourth Living DNA strand representing connections that enable continuous learning and adaptation across the entire workspace ecosystem.

Folder: Organizational structure that groups related projects, manages access permissions, and creates logical hierarchies for different departments, clients, or project types.

Genesis: The "app building magic" - you describe what you need in plain English, and it builds a real, working application for you. Not a prototype, not a mockup, but something your team can actually use right away.

Genesis App: A complete business application that Genesis built for you. It has everything you'd expect from professional software - forms, databases, user accounts, automations - but it was created just by describing what you needed.

H-L

Human-in-the-Loop: Collaborative workflow pattern where AI agents request approval, clarification, or feedback from human team members before proceeding with critical actions.

Intelligence DNA: First Living DNA strand representing AI agents that learn from workspace interactions and evolve into specialized digital team members.

Integration: Connection between Taskade and external tools (100+ supported) that enables data synchronization, automated workflows, and unified business ecosystems.

Knowledge DNA: Third Living DNA strand representing projects, templates, and data that form organizational memory in interconnected, intelligent structures.

Living DNA: See DNA (Living DNA).

M-P

Multi-Agent Teams: Coordinated networks of specialized AI agents that collaborate, delegate tasks, and work together to solve complex business problems.

Node: Fundamental building block of Taskade projects that can contain text, files, links, due dates, assignments, and custom fields in flexible, hierarchical structures.

Orchestration Mode: Advanced AI feature where multiple agents collaborate like a real team, each bringing specialized expertise to solve complex problems together.

Password Protection: Security feature that adds password-controlled access to any shared Taskade content including agents, forms, automations, and Genesis apps.

Project: Flexible container for organized work that can transform into Genesis applications, supporting 8 universal views and real-time collaboration.

Prompt Library: Collection of proven Genesis prompts for creating business applications, including ready-to-use examples for CRM, project management, and more.

Q-T

Real-Time Collaboration: Simultaneous multi-user editing and interaction with instant synchronization across all connected devices and team members.

TAA System: The Taskade AI Assistant System - unified AI intelligence platform that powers all smart features, coordinates agents, and provides context-aware assistance.

Task: Action-oriented node specifically designed for actionable items with completion tracking, assignment capabilities, and deadline management.

Template: Pre-configured project structure that accelerates setup, ensures consistency, and captures best practices for reuse across teams and workflows.

U-Z

Universal Views: Eight different ways to visualize and interact with the same project data: List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Org Chart, Gantt, and Action views.

Vibe Coding: Natural language app development methodology where you describe the "vibe" of what you want and AI builds the actual application.

Vibe Marketing: Automated marketing workflows that aggregate content, publish across platforms, and track performance with AI-powered optimization.

Vibe Payments: Stripe integration for automated payment processing, billing management, and customer lifecycle workflows within Genesis apps.

Vibe Tracking: Apps that collect leads, sync records, and turn events into automated actions across business systems.

Vibe Workflows: Automated business processes that connect Genesis apps to customers, support flows, and operations.

Workspace: Intelligent collaboration hub that serves as the foundation for teams, containing all projects, AI agents, automations, and shared knowledge within a unified environment.

Workspace DNA: The genetic code of your living system - everything you've built in Taskade becomes the foundation that powers your Genesis apps with memory, intelligence, and automation.

Workflow: Sequence of automated actions triggered by events, with conditional logic and multi-step processes that coordinate activities across projects and external systems.

Work Engineering: The practice of designing workflows where knowledge flows naturally through the system, creating compounding intelligence.
