What is Taskade Genesis?
Yes — the DNA analogy works perfectly for Taskade Genesis.
Each Genesis app is unique, alive, and powered by a structured "genetic" code from your Taskade Workspace — the agents, automations, projects, and databases that form its core. Just as DNA encodes the blueprint of life, your workspace encodes the blueprint of your app — a living backend and brain that grows, adapts, and evolves with every idea you bring to life.
Genesis is an AI-powered app builder that creates complete business applications from a single description. Simply describe what you need in plain English (like "I need customers to book appointments online"), and Genesis builds a fully functional app for you in minutes — powered by your workspace's living DNA.
Unlike other app builders that only create forms or interfaces, Genesis gives you everything you need to run a real business application:
🗂️ Smart Database - Stores your data automatically
🤖 AI Assistant - Learns your business and helps customers
⚡ Automatic Actions - Connects to email, Slack, payments, and 100+ tools
📁 File Management - Handles documents, photos, and uploads
🔒 Enterprise Security - Protects your data and controls access

How Genesis Works: Your Workspace as Living 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.
Genesis automatically combines four essential DNA components that work together seamlessly:
1. Knowledge DNA (Projects & Media)
Your business data and intelligence stored in flexible, living structures
Creates custom fields and relationships that evolve with your needs
Trains AI assistants with your documents, policies, and business knowledge
Example: Customer feedback with ratings, comments, photos — all connected to your menu and service policies
2. Intelligence DNA (AI Agents)
Your business brain that learns, adapts, and makes decisions
Understands your unique processes and customer interactions
Provides personalized responses based on your workspace knowledge
Example: Booking assistant that knows your services, availability, pricing, and special requirements
3. Action DNA (Automations)
Your business reflexes that respond instantly to events and triggers
Connects to 100+ external tools and systems seamlessly
Executes complex workflows without human intervention
Example: New booking → sends confirmation → updates calendar → processes payment → notifies team → follows up
4. Living Memory (Workspace Integration)
Everything connects and learns from everything else
Your app grows smarter with each interaction and data point
Cross-references patterns to improve decisions and predictions
Example: Inventory alerts that learn seasonal patterns, customer preferences, and supplier reliability

Who will use it:
"Our customers need to..."

"Clients want to..."What they need to do:
"...book appointments and pay online"

Example: Building a Restaurant Feedback App
Let's walk through a real example:
The Problem
"Customers leave reviews on Google and Yelp, but we don't see them quickly enough to respond to problems. We need a way to collect feedback directly and get immediate alerts for issues."
The Genesis Prompt
I run a restaurant and need customers to submit feedback about their dining experience. They should rate food quality, service speed, and overall satisfaction on a 1-5 scale, plus leave optional comments and upload photos if they want. When someone gives us 3 stars or lower, immediately alert our manager via Slack so we can follow up personally. All feedback should be stored in a dashboard where we can see trends and respond to individual reviews.What Genesis Builds
