How to use the Two stars and a wish template

Start a board from it
Use this template opens a new Freero board with the Two stars and a wish template on it (sign up free first). On a board you already have, open Templates in the toolbar and search for “Two stars and a wish”.

“Be kind, specific and helpful. Point to the exact part of the work, and make your wish something the writer can do next.”
Fill in each part

- Second star What else did you do well?
- Wish One thing to improve, and how you might do it.
Bring your team and your agents
Invite people to the board or share a link, and work on it together live. The timer is in the top bar, private mode and voting in the board menu, and Claude or ChatGPT can join through Freero’s MCP server.

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.

You ask: “Fill in the Two stars and a wish 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.
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.
