Short answer

How can I update my KanbanTool tasks with AI?

You give your AI client instructions in plain text, and it executes the changes on your board. You'll be able to add new cards, change existing details, or archive old ones. Here is how those actions play out.

Board outcomes

Where your tasks end up.

Your AI handles the board management so you can stay in your chat window.

NEW

Fresh task cards

The AI builds new cards based on your descriptions. Your board stays current without you opening a browser.

EDIT

Updated task details

You can change descriptions or statuses instantly. Your AI modifies the specific cards you mention.

CLEAN

Archived cards

The AI clears out finished or irrelevant tasks. This keeps your active view uncluttered.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If a task is missing info, the AI will ask you for clarification. You remain in control of the final decisions.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI translates your chat messages into direct actions on your Kanban board.

  1. Add work

    When you describe a new task, the AI creates the card on your board.

  2. Modify cards

  3. Archive tasks
