What it is

You write what you need, it hands you back a running system

Taskade became Taskade Genesis: you write one sentence — "a dashboard to track this week's sales", say — and it builds a real application, with a database, a screen, and even an AI agent already wired in, published at its own link. It's like asking someone on your tech team to build that little system you keep needing — except here, AI builds it, on the spot.

Why it matters

The dashboard IT would never have time to build this month

You ask your tech team for a simple dashboard — tracking leads, deadlines, inventory — and the answer is always "get in line". Two or three weeks later, you're still waiting, patching things together with a spreadsheet.

150K+

That's how regular people have already built more than 150,000 apps inside Taskade Genesis, according to the company itself — with no code, either cloning what the community already made or describing the request from scratch.

In your day

Who would already have one of these running today

Manager

Describes in a prompt the dashboard they need to track — leads, team tasks, deadlines — and publishes it for the team without waiting on IT's backlog.

HR

Builds an onboarding portal for new hires, with a checklist, documents, and an agent answering questions, by cloning a ready-made template from the gallery.

Small-business owner / Sales

Creates a mini CRM that logs each lead, triggers follow-up automation, and shows the pipeline — all inside the same workspace.

Step-by-step

From a blank prompt to your first published app

// interface checked in August 2026 — if something looks different, search for the button name in Taskade's help center
  1. Create your account at taskade.com/signup

    Click "Get Started" and sign in with Google or email.

    no credit card required
  2. Open the AI builder

    On the homepage, click "Build with AI" — or go straight to taskade.com/create. That's where the box to write your request lives.

  3. Describe the app in one sentence

    Plain English: "I need a dashboard to track my team's sales pipeline, with lead name, stage, and owner."

  4. Watch it build live

    Taskade creates the project (the "memory"), suggests an AI agent connected to it, and already sets up a basic automation.

    these are the three pillars of what it calls Workspace DNA
  5. Ask for changes right in the chat

    Don't like a color, a field, or a stage? Write the adjustment in the conversation instead of editing field by field.

  6. Publish and share the link

    The app goes live at its own address. On the free plan, it ships with a "Powered by Taskade" mark in the footer — it only disappears on paid plans.

Copy and use now

A ready-made request to paste into the Genesis box

prompt Build a dashboard to track my team's sales pipeline. I need a table with lead name, company, stage (prospecting, proposal, negotiation, closed), owner, and expected close date. Add an AI agent that summarizes, once a day, how many leads have gone more than 7 days without an update.

You get the dashboard published with its own link and an AI agent already wired in — just adjust the columns to fit.

What few people know

Read this before you spend your free credits

Do this

  • Clone before building from scratch: the Community Gallery has 500+ ready apps, and tweaking one usually costs fewer credits than generating a new one.
  • Leave the AI model on "Auto" — TSK-1 picks the right model for each task and avoids burning credits with an expensive model on a simple question.
  • Invite people to your workspace: the referral program gives up to 3,500 extra credits — it helps stretch the free plan.

Avoid

  • Counting on the free plan to keep an app running all month: the 6,000 credits are a one-time gift — they don't renew — and a heavy AI app can burn through them fast.
  • Assuming cloning is always free: heavily customizing a cloned community app also uses AI credits.
  • Subscribing monthly without checking the annual plan: Taskade itself says annual billing costs half of monthly.

Challenge · 5 minutes

Describe the first app that would solve a problem of yours

Open taskade.com/create and write a one-sentence request — it can be simple, like "a list to track my team's tasks this week, with name, deadline, and status."

You've succeeded if, in under a minute, you have a published link you can open on your phone and show your team.

What it costs beyond free

What your dollar buys in each plan

The free plan needs no card and already lets you publish up to 3 apps — but the 6,000 AI credits are a one-time gift, not a monthly renewal. Official dollar pricing, checked August 2026.

Free

$0 — 1 user, up to 3 apps, 1 AI agent, 3 automations, 6,000 one-time credits (no renewal), 250 MB of storage.

Pro · Popular

$10/mo (billed annually) — 10 users, unlimited apps/agents/automations, 50,000 credits/month, removes the "Powered by Taskade" mark, 100+ integrations.

Business

$25/mo (billed annually) — unlimited users, 150,000 credits/month, custom domain, full white-label branding, and SSO.

Max

$100/mo (billed annually) — 400,000 credits/month, autonomous agents that plan and execute on their own.

Detail that matters: paying month-to-month, without committing to the annual plan, costs double the prices above on every tier, per Taskade's own site. There's also Enterprise, from $250/mo, with a custom SLA.

Is it for you?

Who really gets value from Taskade

Worth it if you…

  • Are a manager or small-business owner who needs a simple dashboard, CRM, or portal without waiting on an available tech team
  • Already use "classic" Taskade (lists, mind maps, docs) and want to try the AI side without switching tools
  • Lead a small team and need an AI agent running all day — answering leads, tracking deadlines — without hiring a developer

Think twice if you…

  • Just need a simple to-do list — Todoist or Google Tasks get the job done without Workspace DNA's learning curve
  • Can't spend in dollars, or can't risk your free credits running out mid-project
  • Already depend on a robust ERP or CRM — moving a critical process to a prompt-generated app is risky without a lot of testing first
Worth it?

Here's where we landed after testing it

4.1/5

our independent rating

When I tested it, I asked for a simple dashboard to track a few fictional leads and, honestly, it worked: in under two minutes I had a published table with a link, and the AI agent added a "deal value" field on its own that I hadn't even asked for. If you're a manager tired of waiting on IT, that's worth a lot. But the credit model is confusing — you only find out what a request "cost" after it runs, and the free plan won't carry a real workspace for long. I wouldn't subscribe to the monthly plan without checking the annual one first — the price gap is too big to ignore.

Tested and checked against official sources on August 13, 2026.

What's in its favor

  • Publishes a real app — not a mockup — with a database, screen, and AI agent wired together from one sentence, and hosts it for free
  • 500+ ready-made apps in the Community Gallery to clone instead of starting from scratch
  • The free plan needs no card and already unlocks 1 AI agent and 3 automations running on their own — enough to feel out the product before deciding
  • Companies like Nike, Netflix, and Airbnb are listed as customers on the site itself — a sign the tool holds up at scale, not just a toy

Where it falls short

  • The free plan's 6,000 credits are one-time and don't renew monthly — unlike most competitors' recurring free tiers
  • Dollar-only pricing, no local currency, and the advertised $10/mo price requires committing to the annual plan — monthly costs double
  • An interface loaded with proprietary jargon (Workspace DNA, TSK-1, Genesis) that trips up first-time users
  • Heavily customizing a cloned community app still burns AI credits — it isn't an unlimited "free" copy

Common questions

What first-timers ask before signing up

Is Taskade really free?

Yes, there's a permanent free plan with no card required: 1 user, up to 3 apps, 1 AI agent, and 6,000 credits you get once (1,000 on verification and 5,000 on your first build) — they don't renew monthly. For more credits and unlimited features, Pro starts at $10/month billed annually.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No. The official pricing page itself says: "No credit card required". A card is only needed if you decide to subscribe to a paid plan.

Does it work in Portuguese?

Yes. Taskade's interface supports Portuguese among the 32 languages it offers — click your avatar in the top-right corner and choose the language option to switch. You can also chat with the AI agent in Portuguese regardless of your interface language.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. There are native apps for Android and iPhone/iPad, plus desktop apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux — all synced to the same account in real time.

Does my data train the company's AI?

According to Taskade, your data is not used to train third-party AI models. The company states it keeps AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest, holds Google CASA certification (OWASP ASVS Level 2), and says SOC 2 Type II certification is in progress.

What is this "Workspace DNA" thing?

It's Taskade's name for three parts that work together inside every app you build: Projects hold the memory (your data), AI Agents provide the intelligence, and Automations execute the tasks on their own, around the clock.
