Workspace DNA
Understand the three-pillar architecture that powers every Taskade workspace and Genesis app: Memory, Intelligence, and Execution.
Every Taskade workspace runs on three pillars that work together as a continuous cycle. Understanding this architecture helps you build better apps, smarter agents, and more reliable automations.
The Three Pillars
1. Memory — Projects & Databases
Projects store structured knowledge: tasks, notes, custom fields, documents, and media. This is what agents read and automations update.
What you get:
8 project views (List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Gantt, Org Chart, Timeline)
Custom fields for structured data
Real-time sync across all devices
File and media uploads as active knowledge

2. Intelligence — AI Agents
AI agents reason over your workspace context. They draft, classify, summarize, answer questions, and take actions using the knowledge stored in Memory.
What you get:
Custom agents scoped to specific roles or tasks
Multi-agent teams with automatic delegation
22+ built-in tools (Slack, Gmail, Sheets, and more)
Persistent memory across conversations
Multiple AI models (GPT, Claude, Gemini)

3. Execution — Automations
Automations execute event-driven workflows. They connect your workspace to 100+ external tools and run 24/7 in the background.
What you get:
15+ native triggers (webhooks, forms, schedules, project events)
100+ integration actions (Slack, Gmail, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Stripe, and more)
Branching, loops, and conditional logic
AI steps that classify, extract, or draft within a workflow

How the Cycle Works
The three pillars form a continuous loop:
Memory stores data → agents and automations read it.
Intelligence reasons over data → creates insights, drafts, and decisions.
Execution acts on decisions → updates Memory with results.
Every action reinforces the cycle. A form submission (Execution) creates a new record (Memory) that an agent (Intelligence) can analyze and act on.
Why This Matters for Genesis
When you describe an app to Genesis, it generates all three pillars at once:
Database projects for your app's data (Memory)
AI agents trained on your business context (Intelligence)
Automation workflows connecting your tools (Execution)
The app runs on your workspace — not a separate backend. This means every Genesis app shares the same knowledge, agents, and automations as the rest of your workspace.
The more you build, the smarter everything gets. Each project, agent, and automation adds to your Workspace DNA, making future apps more capable.
Intelligence Score
Your workspace has an Intelligence Score (0–100) that reflects its richness:
0–20
Starter
Basic projects, no agents or automations
21–40
Builder
Some agents and automations connected
41–60
Expert
Multiple agents, active automations, rich data
61–80
Advanced
Cross-project intelligence, agent teams
81–100
Genius
Full ecosystem — agents, automations, and data working as one
Higher scores mean Genesis can build better apps because it has more context to work with.
EVE: Your AI Companion
EVE is Taskade's central AI assistant. It reads your entire Workspace DNA — every project, agent, and automation — and uses that context to help you build and manage your workspace.
What EVE can do:
Build Genesis apps from a description
Create and configure AI agents
Set up automation workflows
Create and manage projects, tasks, and data
Answer questions about your workspace
Edit existing work (rewrite, restructure, expand)
Four interaction modes:
Genesis
Full-spectrum
Building complete apps with all three pillars
Projects
Project-focused
Creating and managing projects, tasks, and data
Agents
Agent-focused
Building and configuring AI agents
Automations
Workflow-focused
Setting up triggers, actions, and integrations
EVE is available in every workspace. Open the AI panel or start a chat to begin. The richer your Workspace DNA, the better EVE's suggestions.
Custom Fields & Structured Data
Projects can function as databases with custom fields, turning simple task lists into structured data stores.
Custom field types:
Text
Free-form text values
Number
Decimal, currency, or percentage formats
Date/Time
Dates with optional time component
Select
Dropdown with color-coded options
Why this matters:
Store structured data alongside tasks and notes
Filter and sort projects by any field
Use field values as automation triggers (e.g., "when Status changes to Closed")
Build reporting views with Table and Board layouts
Example: Track sales leads with fields for Status (Select: New / Contacted / Won / Lost), Deal Amount (Number: currency), Close Date (Date), and Priority (Select: High / Medium / Low). Automate follow-ups when Status changes.
