Automation 4/30+: Put an AI agent inside Trello

Trello makes it easy to add a card and hard to make anyone think about it.

What it does

  • Drag a card into your "analyze" list → the AI posts a repo-grounded analysis as a comment
  • Discuss it right there in the card comments → it replies and tightens the scope
  • Drag it into your "build" list → it opens a pull request
  • The relay picks up every board action, so nothing you do on the board is invisible to it

What it does not do

It never drags cards between lists, archives them, or merges what it opened. Lists are moved by people.

Honest note: beta — built and smoke-tested, waiting on real boards to prove it.

Setup

clone → ./setup.sh → pick Trello → answer a few questions
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

~5 minutes. No server, no database, free.

Get it

The recipe is open source: github.com/akshaypatel-ai/ai-automations
