What makes Trilo different

A deeper look at the features that matter.

A Complete Workspace, Not Just Boards

Trello gives you cards on a board. For everything else, you bolt on Power-Ups or subscribe to other tools. Trilo includes kanban boards alongside chat, video calls, docs, spreadsheets, whiteboards, and a full calendar, all in one workspace.

AI Teammates Instead of Rule-Based Bots

Trello's Butler automates card movements with if-then rules. Trilo's AI coworkers are autonomous agents that join conversations, transcribe meetings, create tasks from discussions, and keep your projects moving without manual rules.

Communication Built In

Trello has no messaging. Teams end up using Slack alongside Trello, paying for two tools and switching between them constantly. Trilo includes real-time chat with infinite threading and video calls, so your conversations live with your work.

Which is right for you?
