Turn Trello into an AI-managed command center
Trello boards start organized. Then reality hits — cards pile up, due dates slip, and half your team forgets to move cards between columns. You end up spending more time managing the board than doing actual work. Kodo connects to your Trello boards and handles the project management overhead so you can focus on what moves the needle.
The problem
Trello is flexible and visual, which is why teams love it. But that flexibility means someone has to be the board police: moving cards, chasing updates, flagging overdue items, and making sure nothing gets lost in the "In Progress" column for three weeks. For solo founders running contractors and small teams, that someone is always you — and it eats hours every week.
How Kodo solves it
Kodo connects to your Trello boards via API and becomes your always-on project manager. It monitors card activity, surfaces stale cards in your morning briefing, chases team members who haven't updated their progress, and lets you manage boards through natural language — "move the flyer card to Done" or "what's stuck in the design board?" No more logging into Trello just to check status.
What you get
Board status in your morning briefing
Wake up to a summary of what moved, what's stuck, and what's overdue across all your Trello boards. Delivered in Slack or Telegram — no Trello login needed.
Stale card detection
Kodo flags cards that haven't moved in X days. No more tasks silently dying in "In Progress." You'll know exactly what needs a nudge.
Natural language board management
Tell Kodo "create a card for the press release in the Content board" or "move the logo task to Review." It updates Trello instantly — no context switching.
Cross-tool project visibility
Kodo combines Trello cards with Asana tasks, Gmail threads, and Slack conversations. Get the full picture of any project without checking five different tools.
How it works
Connect your Trello account
Generate a Trello API key and token from your Trello Power-Up settings. Paste both into Kodo. Takes under 2 minutes.
Kodo indexes your boards and cards
Kodo reads your boards, lists, cards, members, due dates, and labels. It learns your workflow structure so it can answer questions and spot issues.
Get briefings and ask questions
Your morning briefing now includes Trello board summaries. Ask "what's overdue in the marketing board?" or "what did the team complete this week?" anytime.
Manage boards by voice or text
Create cards, move them between lists, set due dates, and assign members — all through natural conversation in Slack, Telegram, or the dashboard.

Frequently asked questions
How does Kodo connect to Trello?
Kodo uses Trello's REST API with an API key and token that you generate from your Trello account settings. This gives Kodo read and write access to your boards, lists, and cards. Setup takes under 2 minutes.
Can Kodo work with multiple Trello boards?
Yes. Kodo can monitor as many boards as you need. Most users have 3-5 active boards and Kodo summarizes activity across all of them in a single morning briefing.
Does Kodo replace Trello?
No. Your team keeps using Trello exactly as they do now. Kodo adds an AI layer on top that monitors activity, catches issues early, and lets you manage boards through conversation instead of clicking around the UI.
Can Kodo create cards and move them between lists?
Yes. Kodo can create cards, move them between lists, set due dates, add labels, assign members, and add comments. Just tell Kodo what you need in plain English.
What about Trello Power-Ups?
Kodo works through Trello's API independently of Power-Ups. Your existing Power-Ups continue to work as normal. Kodo accesses the core board, list, and card data regardless of which Power-Ups you have installed.
