AI Project Studio: Generate a Project with AI

Updated 2026-09-29·11 min read

AI Project Studio is the project-making AI tool in Taskade. You describe a goal, add files or links if you want, and it builds a structured project that you can edit and share.

TL;DR: AI Project Studio turns one prompt into a Taskade project with sections, tasks, and details. Add files, links, or pasted text as sources, and pick a view and a language. Turn on Agent Mode to get an AI agent for the project. It works on every plan. To build a whole app instead, see Taskade Genesis.

In this guide, you will:

  • Generate a structured project from one prompt
  • Shape the result with sources, a view, and a language
  • Add an AI agent that knows the project
  • Generate new blocks and subtasks inside an existing project

Before You Start

You need a workspace and a clear goal for the project.

Requirement Details
Plan Every plan, Free included. Each generation uses AI credits
Cloud sources Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive need a paid plan
Who can do this Any workspace member who can create projects
Time About 5 minutes

How It Works

AI Project Studio reads your prompt and your sources, then builds a project. Agent Mode also creates an AI agent that learns from that project.

Generating a structured project with AI from a single prompt

Step 1: Open AI Project Studio

AI Project Studio opens from the Projects section of your workspace.

  1. In the left sidebar, point to Projects.
  2. Click the + button. Its tooltip reads Create project.
  3. Select AI Project. The AI Project Studio window opens.

On the Create page, the AI Project card opens the same tool. Its label reads "Create task lists, mind maps, and outlines."

Step 2: Describe the Project

A prompt that names the outcome gives a project that you can use at once.

  1. Click in the prompt box. It reads "Enter your goal, task, or next big project ...".
  2. Paste a prompt that names the goal, the deadline, the team, and the structure.
Create a Q2 product launch plan for a 5-person team. Split it into phases: research,
build, beta, launch, and follow-up. Give each task an owner role and a due date in
April, May, or June. Do not add a budget section yet.

Why this works: The prompt names the phases and the details for each task, so every section has a clear shape.

Describing the project in the AI Project Studio prompt box

Use this formula when you write your own prompt:

Part Example
Goal "A Q2 product launch plan"
Deadline or time frame "Due dates in April, May, or June"
Team or owner "A 5-person team, with an owner role for each task"
Structure "Phases: research, build, beta, launch"
Boundary "Do not add a budget section yet"

Step 3: Add Sources and Settings

Settings under the prompt box shape the project before you generate it.

┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐  │
│  │ Enter your goal, task, or next big project ...             │  │
│  └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘  │
│  ( List ▾ ) ( Language ▾ ) ( Upload Files ▾ ) ( Add Links ▾ )    │
│                                               Agent Mode  ○      │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
  1. Click the view picker (it shows List or another view) to pick the default project view.
  2. Click Language to pick the language of the project.
  3. Click Upload Files to add a document, a file from the workspace, or pasted text.
  4. Click Add Links to add a website, a YouTube video, a blog article, a research paper, or a social post.
  5. Turn on Agent Mode to generate an AI agent with the project.

Choose a Language

The project uses the language that you pick, or the language of your prompt.

  1. Click Language, then pick a language from the list.
  2. If you do not pick one, write the prompt in the target language, or add "Respond in Spanish".

Agent Mode

Agent Mode creates an AI agent for the new project. The switch reads "Enable to generate an agent with your project."

  1. Turn on Agent Mode before you generate.
  2. After the project is created, open the agent in the AI Agents tab to edit it.

Step 4: Generate and Create the Project

AI Project Studio shows a preview first. You then choose what to do with it.

  1. Press Enter, or click the send button Send button icon to generate.
  2. Read the preview. To stop early, click Stop generating.
  3. Pick one action:
    • Create project turns the preview into a new project.
    • Continue writing adds more to the preview.
    • Make longer expands the preview.

Advanced Project Generation

A detailed prompt can add due dates, custom fields, and assignees to the new project.

  1. Name the details in the prompt: "Add a Status field, a Priority field, and a due date for each task."
  2. Pick a view and add sources as in Step 3.
  3. Press Enter, then click Create project.

You Are Done When

The new project opens in your workspace with its sections and tasks. If Agent Mode was on, the new agent is in the AI Agents tab.

Generate More Inside a Project

AI can also add blocks and subtasks to a project that you already have.

Generate Blocks

The block generator adds AI content in the project editor, such as checklists and bullet lists.

  1. Point to the top or the bottom of the project editor.
  2. Click Add Block.
  3. Select AI Generator, or select AI Agent to use one of your agents.
  4. Describe the block. The box reads "Create a block for ...". To start from a ready prompt, click View prompts.
  5. Press Enter, then click Insert Block.

Generate Tasks

The Subtask command writes a list of subtasks under one task.

  1. Open a project and select a task.
  2. Type / and then "subtask".
  3. Select Subtask.
  4. Click Insert to add the subtasks below the task, or Replace to replace the task.

Prompt Templates Library

Prompt templates give you a ready prompt to copy.

  1. In the Taskade EVE chat box, click the Add button.
  2. Select Prompt templates Prompt templates icon. Its label reads "Start from a ready-made prompt".
  3. Pick a prompt, then paste it into AI Project Studio or the chat.

Prompt Examples

Send one prompt, look at the preview, then try the next.

Content calendar

Create a content calendar for a small bakery's Instagram for May. Give each week a theme,
three post ideas, and a caption draft for each post. Do not add paid ads yet.

Client onboarding checklist

Create a client onboarding checklist for a web design studio. Group tasks into Kickoff,
Content, Design, and Launch. Add a due date offset in days for each task. Do not add
invoicing steps yet.

Study plan from a source

Using the attached PDF, create a 4-week study plan. Give each week 5 tasks with a short
summary of what to read. Do not add quizzes yet.

Why this works: The third prompt points at a source, so the project follows your own material.

Troubleshooting

Find what you see, then do the fix.

What you see Why Fix
The project is too shallow The prompt names only a topic Add phases, owners, due dates, and fields to the prompt
The structure does not fit the work The default view does not match the task Pick a different view before you generate
The project ignores your material No source was added Add files, links, or pasted text as a source
The cloud file sources show a PRO badge Cloud sources need a paid plan Upload the file from your computer, or upgrade
You want more detail after the preview The preview is a first draft Click Continue writing or Make longer

Tips

  • Write the outcome, not the topic. "A Q2 launch plan with phases and owners" beats "product launch".
  • Pick the view first. A board suits stages, and a table suits many fields.
  • Turn on Agent Mode when you want a helper that knows the project from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I generate a project?

In the sidebar, click + next to Projects, then select AI Project. Describe the outcome, add sources if you want, and press Enter. Click Create project to save the result.

Can AI build from my files?

Yes. Add PDFs, Word documents, slides, spreadsheets, EPUB files, pasted Markdown, website links, or YouTube videos as sources. AI Project Studio builds the project around that material.

Project Studio vs a template?

A template is a fixed layout that you reuse. AI Project Studio builds a new structure from each prompt, and it can add a matching AI agent.

Can I turn it into an app?

Yes. A project can be the data for a Taskade Genesis app with pages, agents, and automations.

Is AI Project Studio free?

Yes. AI Project Studio works on every plan, Free included, and each generation uses AI credits. Cloud file sources need a paid plan. See AI Usage and Credits.

Can an AI agent learn from the generated project?

Yes. Turn on Agent Mode before you generate, and AI Project Studio creates an agent with the project. You can also add any project to an agent as knowledge later.

Next Steps

Grow the project in this order: views, agents, automations, then an app.

  1. Organize the result: Switch layouts in Project Views.
  2. Build an agent from a description: Use the AI Agent Generator.
  3. Generate a whole team: Create several agents at once with the Team Generator.
  4. Automate the project: Add triggers and actions in Automations.
  5. Turn it into an app: Build pages on top of the project with Taskade Genesis.
