Using voice to manage Trello cards across daily workflows

[Vishal Sahu]

Hi Trello community

We’ve been working on Gennie, a voice-based assistant designed to work alongside tools like Trello to make everyday task updates faster and more natural.

The idea is simple: instead of switching tabs or typing everything out, users can speak tasks, updates, or reminders, and they will be automatically reflected in Trello boards. This has been especially helpful during meetings, quick discussions, or when multitasking.

We’re currently integrating with Trello and other work tools to support common actions like:

• Creating cards

• Updating card details

• Adding comments or follow-ups

Just wanted to know how others here think about voice-first task management alongside Trello:

• Would this fit into your daily workflow?

• Are there specific Trello actions you’d wish to voice support for?

Happy to learn from the community and refine based on real use cases.

Hi @Vishal Sahu

Interesting idea - a voice-first approach could be very valuable, especially from an accessibility perspective (for example, for users with visual impairments or other disabilities, or in hands-free scenarios).

For my own day-to-day work, though, I find that using the keyboard is usually faster and more precise. When working with tasks, it’s often easier for me to quickly type a summary, adjust fields, or fine-tune wording, whereas speaking tasks out loud can sometimes take more effort to structure clearly in the moment.

That said, I can definitely see strong use cases during meetings, quick stand-ups, or when multitasking — particularly if the voice commands are short, well-structured, and easy to correct afterward.

Hi, really appreciate this perspective, and you articulated the trade-off very clearly.

We’ve found the same thing in practice: for focused desk work, the keyboard is often faster and gives more precision, especially when fine-tuning fields or wording. Voice isn’t meant to replace that.

Where voice tends to shine is precisely what you mentioned - meetings, stand-ups, or hands-busy moments, and also for accessibility and fatigue reduction. In those cases, the goal is less about perfect structure in the moment and more about capturing intent while it’s fresh.

With Gennie, we’re intentionally designing voice to be:

• Short and structured (quick commands rather than long dictation)
• Editable after the fact in Trello
• A first-capture layer, not the final editing surface

Think of it as lowering friction for “don’t forget this” moments, while Trello remains where you refine and organize.

Thanks again for the thoughtful feedback, it’s exactly the kind of nuance that helps shape where voice actually adds value (and where it shouldn’t).
