Core APIs

Workspaces & Projects

Tree-structured data with real-time synchronization. Projects support conflict-free collaborative editing with instant synchronization across all connected clients. Each project maintains versioned change history for reliable collaboration.

Tasks & Data

Event-sourced task management with rich field types. Tasks support complex data relationships, custom field schemas, and atomic batch operations. The system maintains audit trails and supports time-travel queries for debugging and analytics.

AI Agents

Stateful AI agents with persistent memory and tool access. Each agent maintains its own knowledge graph derived from project data, documents, and conversation history. Agents can be composed into multi-agent workflows with dependency resolution and error handling.

Automations & Integrations

Automation System

Event-driven architecture with guaranteed delivery. Built on a distributed event system for reliable message processing. Supports exactly-once delivery semantics, failure handling, and automatic retry with exponential backoff.

Action & Trigger Reference

Reactive programming model with high reliability. Triggers provide real-time event detection and processing. Actions include robust error handling and timeout patterns for reliable external service integration.

Integration Reference

100+ pre-built connectors with OpenAPI 3.0 compliance. Each integration includes rate limiting, authentication handling, and automatic schema validation. Custom integrations support GraphQL subscriptions and WebSocket streaming.

Genesis API

Taskade Genesis

Build complete web applications from natural language prompts. Taskade Genesis handles code generation and automatic deployment.
