TL;DR: Agents that ship work. A Custom AI Agent in Taskade is a configurable teammate built from a persona, knowledge sources, 22+ built-in tools plus the full 100+ integration catalog on call, and a frontier model from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or leading open-source providers. Agents are the Intelligence layer of Workspace DNA. They read from your Projects (Memory) and trigger Automations (Execution). They remember across sessions. You can embed them publicly with a single link. Create your first agent free →
What Is a Custom AI Agent?
A Custom AI Agent in Taskade is a reusable, configurable AI teammate that combines a persona, knowledge sources, tools, and a frontier model into a single addressable assistant your team can chat with, embed, or call from automations. Unlike a one-off chat session, an agent has persistent memory across conversations, can act on your workspace, and can be shared publicly with a single link.
Agents are how Taskade turns raw AI capability into something that does work (research, support, qualification, code review, content drafting) instead of just answering questions.
The Intelligence Layer of Workspace DNA
Agents are the Intelligence pillar that sits between Memory and Execution. Projects store what your team knows; Automations execute what your team decides; Agents are the brains that read context, make decisions, and pull the trigger.
The loop is self-reinforcing: every action an agent takes creates new Memory, which makes the next decision smarter.
