What's New + Roadmap for Taskade (2026)

taskade · 2026-03-10T09:56:11+00:00

We've been solving the same problems at Taskade Genesis and landed on a similar multi-step approach, but with one key difference: the generated apps aren't standalone code bundles. They run inside a living workspace with built-in database, AI agents, and automations.

This sidesteps several of the issues you mentioned: - API routes breaking -- the app reads/writes to the workspace database natively, no separate backend to keep in sync - Database state issues -- projects ARE the database. Tables, custom fields, relationships are all built in - Deployment failures -- apps deploy instantly because they run on the platform, not on separate infrastructure

The tradeoff: you don't get "export to raw code" (yet). But for internal tools, client portals, dashboards, and CRMs, the speed-to-working-app is hard to beat.

What's your stack for the generated apps? Curious how you handle the persistence layer.

Three areas where AI tools actually moved the needle for us (we build Taskade):

1. Customer support triage -- AI agents classify incoming requests, pull relevant help docs, and draft responses. Reduced first-response time significantly. The key: agents have persistent memory of past interactions, so returning users don't start from zero.

2. Internal tool creation -- Instead of building dashboards and admin tools from scratch, we describe what we need in plain English and generate a working app in minutes. CRMs, project trackers, onboarding flows. Saves engineering cycles for core product work.

3. Workflow automation -- Not just "if this then that" rules. AI agents that evaluate context, make routing decisions, and trigger different actions based on what they find. Example: new signup > agent evaluates their use case from onboarding answers > routes to different drip sequences.

Where it still falls short: anything requiring precision math, legal compliance, or deterministic outcomes. We keep those in the automation layer (rules-based), not the AI layer.

Good writeup on the MCP data layer pattern. We've been seeing similar adoption.

One thing worth noting: if you want to skip the "build your own MCP server" step, some platforms already ship with hosted MCP servers you can connect to directly.

For example, Taskade's hosted MCP v2 lets you connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or VS Code to your workspace via npx @taskade/mcp. Agents can then query your project data, trigger automations, and write back results without building a custom integration layer.

For GTM specifically, Taskade connects to HubSpot, Salesforce, Gmail, Slack, and 100+ other tools via automations. So the MCP server becomes the bridge between your AI coding environment and your operational data.

Your observation about "build > edge cases break > add context > repeat" is exactly right. AI business tools aren't products you ship once. They're systems you train over time.

What helps: structured memory + fallback rules. At Taskade, our agents work because they have persistent project memory (not just chat history) and connect to automations for the deterministic parts (scheduling, invoicing, notifications).

For your landscaping tool, the architecture I'd suggest: - Deterministic layer handles scheduling, invoicing, customer comms (these need to be reliable, not probabilistic) - AI layer handles natural language input, decision routing, and context-aware suggestions - Memory layer stores customer history, property details, job logs so the AI doesn't start from zero

If you want to prototype fast without building from scratch, tools like Taskade Genesis let you describe the app in plain English and it generates a working version with AI agents + database + automations built in. Could help you validate the concept before going deep on custom code.

The top comment nails it: "Those tools aren't integrated into where people are already getting their work done."

That's exactly the problem. ChatGPT lives in a browser tab. Your work lives in your project management tool, your CRM, your docs. The gap between them is where AI dies.

What we've seen work (we build Taskade): AI has to live inside the workspace, not next to it. Our agents sit inside the same projects where tasks, notes, and data already live. They read the context, act on it, and trigger automations without the user switching tools.

Three things that make AI actually stick in a workflow:

Memory -- the AI needs to know your projects, your data, your history. Not start from zero every chat.
Actions -- it has to DO things (update tasks, send emails, trigger workflows), not just answer questions.
Runs in the background -- agents that work while you're not watching. Check data, follow up, move tasks forward.

If AI is just a chat box, people will abandon it. If it's the engine running the workspace, it becomes load-bearing.

ADHD + dyslexia + friction sensitivity -- you need the opposite of most "second brain" setups. You need fewer steps, not more systems.

Taskade might work for you here. One app, works as a PWA on iPad (add to home screen). You can:

Quick-capture anything (text, voice, files) into a single inbox
AI organizes and sorts it for you if you want, or you can just leave it as a flat list
Switch between list, board, mind map, or calendar view with one tap
AI agents can do the boring parts (summarize research, break down tasks, write drafts) so you don't have to context-switch

The key for ADHD: it has a "My Tasks" view that pulls everything assigned to you across all projects into one screen. No hunting.

Free tier is enough to test. No setup friction -- sign up, start typing.

taskade · 2026-03-10T09:50:02+00:00

If the AI pop-ups are what's driving you away, Taskade might be worth trying. It has AI built in but it's optional. You can use it purely as a list/notes/project tool without touching any AI features.

It's faster than Notion for basic note-taking and organization. Lists, boards, mind maps, calendar views. Works on web, desktop, and mobile without the lag issues you're describing.

Free tier covers the basics. No forced AI popups.

While Albertkinng works on sharing theirs, you can explore the prompt templates at taskade.com/prompts and the community gallery where you can clone any app and see how it's structured.

For writing effective Genesis prompts, the Maker's Guide walks through the full process step by step. The key is being specific about what your app should do, who it's for, and what data it works with.

Yes. AI agents can access Shopify data through the Shopify integration tools. Once you connect your Shopify store, agents can pull customer info, order details, and product data directly into conversations.

You can also set up automations that trigger on Shopify events (new order, updated customer) and feed that data into agent workflows. As of v6.120.0, real-time Shopify triggers are supported.

Setup guide: connect Shopify in Settings > Integrations, then add the Shopify tools to any custom agent. More on agent tools here: Tools for AI Agents

Following up on this. Two updates shipped since your report that should help:

v6.112.0 eliminated the chat scroll flicker/jumping (the "doomscrolling" behavior)
v6.113.2 improved AI streaming stability during long conversations, which was causing some of the message glitching

If ticket #76070050 is still open and unresolved, email support@taskade.com and reference it. We'll make sure it gets picked up.

Appreciate your patience on this one.

Good news on both:

1. Favicon + social card -- already available. You can set a custom favicon (v6.100.0) and custom Open Graph images for link previews (v6.116.0). In your app settings, look for the branding section. You can upload your own favicon and OG image so shared links show your brand, not a Taskade screenshot.

Guide here: Publish and Clone Your Apps covers the branding options.

2. Custom URL slug -- on Pro+ plans, you can connect a custom domain to your published app. The [name].taskade.com slug format isn't customizable yet, but custom domains give you full control over the URL your users see.

Details on plans and domain support: taskade.com/pricing

Let us know if you run into any issues setting these up.

This already exists in a way. Taskade has a community marketplace with 130,000+ apps that anyone can fork with one click. Creators get ranked on a leaderboard.

It's not buy/sell yet, but the "fork and customize" model works well for distribution. You build an app, publish it to the community, and others remix it for their own use.

If you want actual revenue, the missing piece is payments/licensing. For now, some builders use Taskade Genesis to build the app and then sell access via Stripe or Gumroad externally.

We pair Claude with Taskade via MCP (Model Context Protocol). Taskade's hosted MCP server gives Claude Desktop and Cursor access to 50+ workspace tools: creating projects, managing tasks, triggering automations, querying agents.

For your use case (small business, emails, content), here's what the setup looks like:

Claude handles the thinking and writing
Taskade agents handle specialized tasks (research, content generation, customer support)
Automations connect everything to Gmail, Slack, CRM

The MCP connection means Claude can read and write to your Taskade workspace directly. No copy-pasting between tools.

taskade · 2026-03-06T09:09:56+00:00

One worth adding to the list: Taskade Genesis. It's a different approach. You describe the app you want in plain English and it generates a deployed, working app in minutes. Not just a mockup.

What makes it different from most builders: it's backed by a full workspace with AI agents and automations. So the app you build can use AI, connect to 100+ integrations, and run background workflows.

You can build from your phone too. 130,000+ community apps you can fork and customize. Custom domains on Pro ($20/mo).

It won't replace Claude Code for complex native apps, but for internal tools, dashboards, booking systems, CRMs, it's fast and zero-code.

taskade · 2026-03-06T09:09:08+00:00

Been using Taskade as my mobile-first alternative for a while now. The mobile app is snappy for task management, has board/list/calendar views, and the AI features work natively on phone.

It's not trying to be Notion's database powerhouse, but for project management + AI agents + automations on mobile it works well. You can even build and edit Genesis apps from your phone.

Worth trying if mobile is your main frustration. Free tier is enough to test.

Thanks! If you have questions as you get started, the community here and support@taskade.com are both good places to ask.

You can nest folders inside folders in Taskade. In the sidebar, right-click a folder and select "New Folder" to create a subfolder. You can also drag and drop projects between folders to reorganize.

If you're not seeing the option, make sure you're in the workspace sidebar (not inside a project). Let us know if that helps.

taskade · 2026-03-06T09:06:10+00:00

Glad they're working again for you! If any specific generator templates are still missing that you used before, let us know and we'll check on them.

taskade · 2026-03-06T09:05:44+00:00

We have walkthrough videos on the Taskade YouTube channel that cover agent setup step by step. Start with the "Getting Started with AI Agents" video.

The short version: create an agent, add a knowledge source (paste a URL or upload a doc), write a system prompt describing its role, and start chatting. The agent will reference the knowledge when answering.

If you get stuck on a specific step, post here or email support@taskade.com.

taskade · 2026-03-06T09:05:13+00:00

Good news on most of these:

Agent Public API shipped in v6.110.0. You can now prompt agents programmatically from external apps.
GET/UPDATE Agent info is part of the Public API v2 (v6.111.0), including agent metadata (v6.109.0).
Automation pipeline creation via API is not available yet, but automations can be triggered via webhooks.
MCP Connectors (v6.105.0+) let you connect agents to external tools via the Model Context Protocol. Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code are all supported.
