What does this Trello automation do?
Once a week, the cards mirrored out of Trello are read from your Taskade project and written up as a board summary.
What can you do with it?
- Describe the board in words
- Spot the clusters and duplicates
- Keep the summary next to the follow-ups
The Steps
This automation runs in 4 steps:
- When Schedule — Every week
- Then Taskade — Find tasks
- Then Taskade AI — Ask an agent ("Board Historian")
- Then Taskade — Create Project
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Board Historian" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your lists, your workstreams and what a healthy board looks like, remembers what it reported in earlier weeks, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by your other automations.
Who is this automation for?
