Work on it with an AI agent

Connect an assistant once and it works on the board with you, with your permissions: by default it reads and proposes, and people decide.

  1. You ask: “Fill in the Load test plan board from these notes.”

    What happens It reads the board, then proposes sticky notes for it. Nothing changes until someone on the board accepts them.

  2. You ask: “Group what we wrote into themes and list the actions.”

    What happens It proposes clusters with a title each and task cards for the actions, labelled with its name and yours.

Set it up for Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client.
