## About Kanban Tool with LuumenAI

Connect Kanban Tool and Luumen can read your boards, workflow stages, and task detail while you work — comments, subtasks, changelog, time trackers. Ask it to find the stalled items on a board and it answers from live data. When it needs to create a task, move one, or edit a subtask, it shows the change first and waits for your approval. Authentication is by API key.
