# Taskade Genesis Overview

Taskade Genesis lets you turn a plain-English prompt into a live application — UI, data, agents, and automations — running on your own workspace.

**Living Software. Living DNA. Living Intelligence.**

**Build Without Permission.**\
**One Prompt. One App.**\
**Imagine it. Run it live.**\
**Powered by your workspace.**

[Taskade Genesis](https://www.taskade.com/create) turns plain English into a live application.\
It builds on the same data, agents, and automations you already use.

### What Genesis can build

* **Web apps**: dashboards, portals, lightweight CRMs
* **Websites**: landing pages with live content and AI
* **Internal tools**: admin panels, trackers, ops consoles
* **Data collection**: lead capture, intake forms, surveys

Browse examples: [taskade.com/community](https://www.taskade.com/community).\
See templates: [Living System Examples & Templates](/taskade-genesis/genesis/examples-and-templates.md).

### How Genesis works (short version)

1. You describe an app and its workflow.
2. Taskade Genesis generates a UI and data model.
3. The app runs on your workspace, not a separate backend.

The key idea is reuse.\
Your apps reuse the same **memory**, **intelligence**, and **motion**.

### Workspace DNA

Workspace DNA is how Taskade stays one system.\
It connects data (memory), agents (intelligence), and automations (motion).

#### 1) Living Memory (data)

Projects and databases store structured knowledge.\
This is what agents read and automations update.

Start here:

* [Workspace DNA](/platform/workspace-dna.md)
* [Project Views Mastery](/workspaces/workspaces/project-views.md)

#### 2) Living Intelligence (agents)

AI agents reason with workspace context.\
They draft, classify, summarize, and run tools across projects.

Start here:

* [Living Intelligence Overview](/ai-features/ai-features.md)
* [AI Agents Getting Started](/ai-features/ai-features/ai-agents-getting-started.md)

#### 3) Living Motion (automations)

Automations execute event-driven workflows.\
They connect Taskade to external tools and services.

Start here:

* [Living Motion Overview](/automations/automation.md)
* [Integration Options](/automations/automation/integrations.md)
* [Action & Trigger Reference](/automations/automation/actions.md)

### What's next

Edit your app's source from Claude, Cursor, or any IDE via [Taskade Genesis App MCP (Beta)](/apis-and-developer/workspace-mcp/genesis-app-mcp.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.taskade.com/taskade-genesis/genesis.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
