TRY IT Taskade
Taskade started as an AI powered productivity tool, but it has drifted into something much more ambitious: a platform for building “living systems” that combine AI apps, agent teams, and automations inside one shared workspace. Instead of stitching together a task app, a wiki, a forms tool, and Zapier, Taskade tries to make the workspace itself become the system.
The big idea is Taskade Genesis: write one prompt in plain English and it generates a working app, not a mockup. Think client intake portals, support and FAQ hubs, onboarding systems, lightweight CRMs, dashboards, internal tools, even simple websites. Genesis connects the pieces automatically: forms for input, projects and databases for structured memory, agents for reasoning, and automations for execution. Your data becomes the backend, your workspace becomes the engine, and your agents become the team.
That “living system” angle is the difference. Projects remember (structured, searchable knowledge). Agents think (decision making and context awareness, trained on your files, links, and workspace content). Automations run (100 plus integrations and workflows that trigger actions across tools like Slack, Gmail, Stripe, Shopify, and more). The result is closer to a prompt driven operations layer than a normal to do list.
It still does the classic productivity stuff: tasks, notes, real time collaboration, chat and video, and multiple views like Kanban boards, mind maps, calendars, and lists. But the center of gravity has shifted toward building intelligent portals and repeatable workflows you can publish, share with a team, or even package for clients.

Features
* Genesis app builder (one prompt to one app)
Describe the system you need and Genesis builds a connected app with forms, databases, AI agents, and automations.
* Workspace DNA (three pillars)
Projects and databases act as memory, agents provide intelligence, and automations provide execution.
* AI Agents with knowledge
Train agents using local files, cloud drives, URLs, YouTube, RSS feeds, and live workspace content for contextual answers and actions.
* Agent teams and multi agent chat
Group specialized agents into teams that collaborate in one thread, each with its own tools, knowledge, and commands.
* Visual app editor
Click UI elements in a published app and describe changes in plain English, with instant preview.
* Workflow and automation builder
Generate and edit branching workflows, triggers, and actions, with built in integrations and autosave.
* Multiple workspace views
Work in lists, boards, calendars, and mind maps, with everything staying in sync.
* Collaboration layer
Chat, video calls, and shared editing inside the same workspace so teams can plan and execute without hopping tools.
* Publishing and sharing
Publish apps and agents, share publicly or privately, add custom domains, passwords, and branding options.
