The problem it solves

Your team leaves progress notes as comments on Trello cards, but nobody has time to turn those into a proper log of what got done. Important details get buried in a card nobody reopens, and you end up with no clean record for billing or reporting.

Who it fits

Teams using Trello for task management who need a running record of completed work.

How it works

  1. A new comment is posted on a Trello card
  2. An AI agent reads the comment and figures out what work it describes
  3. The agent sorts the details into categories
  4. The information is added as a new row in Google Sheets
What you get

Work logs that build themselves from Trello chatter

Work described in Trello comments turns into an organized row in your Google Sheet automatically.

What you get

An organized log in Google Sheets of the work described in Trello comments.

What you need

A Trello account, a Google account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
