Turn meeting transcripts into Trello tasks automatically

Reads meeting transcripts, pulls out action items, and creates Trello cards without making duplicates.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; all paths must finish before it continues; runs once per one per extracted task.

The problem it solves

After every meeting, someone has to relisten or reread notes, pick out who owes what, and manually add cards to Trello. It's easy to forget a task, assign it to the wrong person, or create the same card twice when several people log the same action item.

Who it fits

Project managers and teams who run frequent meetings and track work in Trello.

How it works

  1. A meeting transcript file is uploaded through a simple form
  2. AI reads the transcript and pulls out each task, its assignee, and its deadline
  3. The system checks every Trello list for a matching card to avoid duplicates
  4. New tasks are added as Trello cards; existing ones are left alone
  5. A summary is returned showing how many tasks were found, created, or skipped
What you get

Action items captured without re-checking notes

You get clear Trello cards for every task discussed in your meetings, so nothing important gets lost in the notes.

What you get

New Trello cards for each real task from the meeting, plus a summary of what was created versus already existed.

What you need

A Trello 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.
