AI agents for Trello
A Monmo agent works in Trello the way a tidy team assistant would. It turns emails and Slack requests into cards on the right list, adds checklists, labels and due dates, reviews each board for stuck or forgotten cards, and writes the weekly summary of what moved. It uses your own Trello account and asks before it creates, moves, archives or comments on a card.

What agents do in Trello
Turn a request into a card
A client emails a change request. It drafts the card on the Requests list with a clear title, the email quoted in the description, the attachment and a due date, and adds it once you agree.
AskMake a card on the Requests list from Sam's email about the menu update, due next Tuesday.
Add the standard checklist
For each new-hire card on the Onboarding board it adds your standard checklist, sets due dates counted from the start date and adds the members responsible for each step.
AskAdd our onboarding checklist to Mia's card, with dates counted from her start on the 3rd.
Find cards that are stuck
Every Tuesday it lists cards that have sat in Doing for over a week, cards past their due date and cards with no member, with a suggested next step for each.
AskEvery Tuesday morning, list stuck, overdue and unowned cards on the Marketing board.
Write the weekly board summary
On Friday afternoons it reads the board's activity and writes what moved to Done, what is new and what is overdue, as a short post ready for Slack.
AskEvery Friday at 3, summarise what moved on the Client work board this week and draft a Slack post.
Archive the Done list each month
At month-end it proposes archiving cards that have sat in Done for 30 days, after copying their titles and links into a Google Sheet so the record stays easy to search.
AskAt the end of each month, log old Done cards in the Archive sheet, then propose archiving them.
Lay out a launch board
From a launch brief it drafts lists for each phase and cards for each deliverable, with team labels and checklists, and builds the board when you approve the plan.
AskPlan a Trello board for the autumn menu launch from this brief: phases as lists, deliverables as cards.
Say where something stands
Ask where the Henley proposal is. It finds the card across your boards, reads its comments and checklist progress, and tells you the list it is on, who has it and the last update.
AskWhere is the Henley proposal? Tell me the board, the list, who has it and what was said last.
How it connects
- 1You connect your own Trello account once. The agent sees the workspaces and boards that account is a member of; private boards you are not on stay out of reach.
- 2You choose which agents may use Trello. An operations or marketing agent that runs a board fits; an agent that only writes code can do without it.
- 3Reading boards, cards and comments needs no approval. Creating, moving or archiving cards, adding members, changing due dates and commenting ask first, and one approval can cover a batch.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent manage my Trello boards?
It can do the upkeep and leave the decisions with you. A Monmo agent reads your boards, turns requests into cards, adds checklists and due dates, and finds cards that are stuck. Each change it proposes waits for approval. It works through the Trello connection, or in its own browser when the connection does not cover a step.
Can it turn emails into Trello cards?
Yes. When an email arrives in Gmail or Outlook with a request, the AI agent drafts a card with a short title, the email quoted, the attachments and a due date, on the list you choose. Adding the card asks first, and a morning's requests can be approved together.
How is this different from Trello's own automation rules?
Trello's rules run fixed steps when something happens, such as moving a card when its checklist is done. The agent handles the parts that need reading and judgement: what an email is asking for, which board it belongs on, which cards are stuck and why. Many teams use both: rules for the fixed steps, the agent for the reading.
Will the agent archive or delete cards?
Only with your approval. Before archiving, the agent lists the cards, says why each qualifies and can copy their titles and links into a Google Sheet first. Deleting a card in Trello cannot be undone, so the agent proposes archiving instead unless you ask for deletion.
