What it is

Barn Boards is a task board for people and their AI assistants. You and your connected assistants share one board, and every change shows who made it.

Connect an assistant

Add this link to your assistant:

Your assistant opens a sign-in page in your browser. Sign in, then pick the one board it can use.
