Today we’re rolling out seven new AI features across Trello for every paid user on a Standard, Premium, or Enterprise plan. Individually, each one erases a small, familiar chore. Together, they answer a bigger question we’ve been sitting with for a long time: what if the busywork mostly handled itself, so you could focus on the work that actually matters to you?
Keep the boards, lists, and cards you love. Outsource the rest to AI.
SEVEN WAYS TO SUPERCHARGE YOUR TRELLO WITH AI
- 1. Create a board with AI
Leave the blank board behind. Describe a goal, whether it’s planning an offsite, running your first 5K race, or figuring out your meal planning for the week and Trello builds a structured, ready-to-use board in seconds, complete with lists and cards. A template is generic and waits for you to customize it. A board built with AI starts personalized. Every board defaults to private, so it’s yours to edit before anyone else sees it.
This is the one that changes how it feels to start something. The hardest part of any project is the first move; now the first move is a prompt.
- 2. Merge multiple cards into one
A frequently asked for feature is finally here! Have two cards saying the same thing? Drag one onto the other and they become one. Trello blends the title, description, and details, carries over links, attachments, custom fields, and labels, and keeps the original context below a divider so you never lose it. The earliest due date wins; to-dos become a checklist. Don’t like the result? Undo it. The originals are archived, not deleted.
Duplicate cards are how boards quietly rot. This keeps them clean without the manual reconciliation nobody has time for.
- 3. AI-generated checklists
One click turns a card into a plan. Trello reads the title and description and suggests a checklist of the steps to get it done. Name the checklist to steer the result, then edit, reorder, or regenerate. It’s fully editable, exactly like one you’d type yourself, only you didn’t have to type it.
4. AI-recommended focus time
A task on a board isn’t done until it has a place in your day. Connect a calendar, open any card, and Trello finds open time and recommends a focus block for it. Accept, dismiss, or set natural-language rules for when and what it suggests. Turn on proactive scheduling and Trello checks daily for cards due in the next five days and blocks the time for you. It can view your calendar to suggest, never change it without your say-so.
This is where a board stops being a to-do list and starts being a plan for actually getting it done.
5. AI-generated images for backgrounds and covers
Stop scrolling for the perfect image. Describe it and Trello makes it. Change a board background or add a card cover in seconds. Small thing? Maybe. But a board you’re proud to look at is a board you come back to, and coming back is the whole game.
6. Set a due date from the card title
Type “Submit report by Friday” and Friday becomes the due date. Trello reads relative dates (“tomorrow”), specific ones (“December 1”), and weekday references (“this Thursday”) the moment you create a card. You were always going to set that date, now you don’t have to think about it.
7. [Coming Soon to Trello Labs] AI-generated widget cards
An entirely new kind of card, live in Trello Labs later this month. Type /widget and give it a prompt (“daily AI news headlines,” “an inspirational quote at the top of my To Do list,” “the US Open schedule”) and Trello builds a richly formatted card that shows information at a glance. It’s where we’re headed: a board that doesn’t just hold your work, but brings the world into it.
GET STARTED
If you’re on a paid plan these new features are waiting for you now. Hit Create and describe a board. Drag one card onto another. Type a due date into a title and watch it move. Not on a paid plan yet? Start a 14-day Premium free trial or upgrade to turn them on.
We built these tools because sometimes you’d rather not think about building or managing a board very closely. Go make something, and tell us what you want next!
