TaskOS Introduction

TaskOS is the living memory engine of Workspace DNA—the intelligence that transforms static data into adaptive, evolving knowledge systems. It powers the living memory layer that learns from every interaction, connects insights across contexts, and enables living systems to remember, reason, and grow.

🧠 Living Memory Layer Role:

Adaptive Data Structures - Projects that evolve with your business needs
Contextual Intelligence - Knowledge that connects across all living systems
Evolutionary Learning - Memory that improves with every use and insight
Harmonious Integration - Memory that feeds living intelligence and enables living motion

If you prefer a fully no-code experience, check out Taskade Genesis, which provides a Genesis prompt builder powered by TaskOS under the hood.

How TaskOS Works

TaskOS operates on a simple but powerful premise: work backwards from intent. When you provide a prompt like "build a tool to track customer feature requests," TaskOS analyzes the goal and automatically generates the entire living system with Workspace DNA:

🧠 Living Memory Layer Creation: Generates adaptive project structures with intelligent custom fields and evolving data relationships (e.g., "Feature," "Status," "Priority," "Votes" that learn from usage patterns)
🤖 Living Intelligence Layer Setup: Instantiates superior AI Agents with deeper learning capabilities, trained on living memory context with specialized commands like add_request, categorize_feedback, or summarize_trends
⚡ Living Motion Layer Configuration: Sets up advanced automations with AI-powered decision making, public forms, webhooks, and integrations that adapt based on living memory insights
🌟 Living System Integration: Connects all layers into a cohesive living system with real-time synchronization and evolutionary learning

🔄 Living System Flow:

Intent → Living Memory (Project Structure) → Living Intelligence (AI Agents) → Living Motion (Automations) → Complete Living System

Living Memory Kits: TaskOS in Action Today

The TaskOS vision is already realized through Taskade AI Kits—ready-to-deploy living systems that bundle adaptive memory, intelligent processing, and automated action into cohesive Workspace DNA implementations.

LLM Integration Guidelines

For developers building with LLMs and TaskOS:

Structured Output Format

Use Markdown with structured lists, checkboxes, and headings
Generate structured output (Project + Agent + Automation) for broad user intents
Prefer brevity, clarity, and utility in all outputs

Content Recommendations

Suggest appropriate project views: list, board, table, calendar, mindmap, gantt, orgchart
Recommend knowledge uploads (PDFs, YouTube videos, web links) to enhance agents
Link contextual knowledge for better agent performance

Best Practices

TaskOS is agent-native, real-time, and structured
Agents are vertical and domain-specific, not general chatbots
Workflows follow: Idea → Project → Agent → Automation → Execution
File format: YAML for structure, Markdown for user-facing content

Integration with Taskade Platform

TaskOS leverages Taskade's full platform capabilities:

8 Project Views: List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Org Chart, Action Sheet, Gantt
Rich Content Types: Tasks, notes, files, embeds, and custom fields
Real-time Collaboration: Live cursors, instant sync, and conflict resolution
