Switch from MakerPad to Task Machine
Moving from MakerPad to Task Machine: swap a self-running company with five wired-in tools for workflows you shape on accounts you own.
Prefer the side-by-side comparison?MakerPad's pitch is "Build AI companies that run themselves." You set strategy and taste, agents execute, and five tools are wired in from day one: coding agents, Stripe checkout, Google and Meta ads, cold email, and SEO pages. Task Machine takes the other shape: agents, workflows, documents, and skills you point at accounts you own, with your approval before the consequential steps.
Why do people switch from MakerPad?
- Five tools set the shape. A wired-in toolset is a fast start, and it also fixes what the company does. Task Machine's building blocks act through the Stripe, email, and ad accounts you already own, and a catalog of 140 playbooks covers jobs beyond those five.
- A live feed shows work after it ships. MakerPad's feed shows launches and activity as they happen. In Task Machine, approvals, questions, and results arrive in one Inbox before the work goes out.
- Controlled autonomy instead of a company that runs itself. Autonomy levels decide what runs without you, and you raise them as agents earn it.
- Your revenue stays yours. You keep 100% of your revenue, Task Machine takes no cut, and it never custodies your accounts.

What do you give up?
MakerPad's first day is stronger: five tools working the moment you start, with nothing to connect. Task Machine asks you to connect your own Stripe, email, and ad accounts first. If what you want is a self-running company you watch through a feed, MakerPad is built for that.
How does the switch work?
- Create your Task Machine workspace and connect accounts you own, such as your domain, Stripe, email, and ad accounts.
- Pick the playbooks that match the tools you used on MakerPad, such as outreach, content, SEO, and ads. Each one installs the agents, workflows, and documents for that job.
- Let coding work run in the Cloud, or connect a computer you control to use your own coding subscriptions.
- Start with a low autonomy level, put approval steps before ad spend and outbound sends, and set budgets that warn you as spending nears the limit.
Common questions
Can Task Machine run ads and outreach like MakerPad?
Yes, as workflows on your own ad and email accounts, installed from playbooks. Approval steps sit before spend and sends by default, and you loosen them deliberately with autonomy levels.
Do I lose the live feed?
You trade it for an Inbox that brings you the moments that need a decision, and a step-by-step history that shows what every workflow step did.
What happens to what MakerPad built?
Task Machine has no importer. Move the code and accounts you own, stand up your product on your own domain, and point agents at it. It is manual, and it happens once.
