What is a Shortcut AI employee?
A Shortcut AI employee connects to your Shortcut account and completes work there. It creates stories, assigns them to teams, checks iterations, and summarises epic progress. Superkind builds it with your company knowledge so results match your products, responsibilities, and ways of working.
Unlike Zapier or Make, there is nothing to configure. You describe the outcome in plain English, the AI employee picks the right Shortcut actions, chains them with your other systems, and asks for your approval before sensitive changes.
Shortcut is a product development platform that connects stories, epics, iterations, objectives, teams, and workflows in one place.

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about your AI employee for Shortcut.
Yes. Superkind connects Shortcut through a managed connector. Once connected, your AI employee can read stories, epics, iterations, teams, projects, and workflows and run agreed actions. You assign work directly from Teams or Outlook. It works in Shortcut and returns with links and a clear status.
An admin provides suitable Shortcut access and confirms the required permissions. We configure the connector with you, test it against agreed stories, and limit access to the tasks it needs. Your team can then message the AI employee in Teams or Outlook without configuring webhooks, triggers, or individual flows themselves.
It can search, create, assign, and update stories, add comments, check epics and objectives, analyse iterations, and summarise teams, projects, and workflows. From that work it can prepare status reports and blocker lists. The exact selection depends on your use case and the Shortcut permissions you grant to the AI employee.
No. You describe the result you need in plain English. Superkind picks the right Shortcut actions and connects them with Teams, Outlook, Jira, or Slack when needed. Unlike Zapier or Make, you do not build and maintain fixed trigger chains. If information is missing, the AI employee asks before continuing.
Only with your approval. Superkind can read information, summarise status, and prepare drafts independently. Changes to important Shortcut data, such as completing stories, changing epics, or removing an integration, wait for an explicit yes from a responsible person in Teams. Your team decides which actions are sensitive. Without that approval, the AI employee does not run them.
Superkind is hosted in the EU, and we sign a GDPR data processing agreement. The connector receives only the minimum Shortcut permissions required. Data is not used to train models. Every completed action is logged so your team can trace changes. Sensitive operations are additionally protected by your approval.
Shortcut offers paid plans from roughly 9 euros per user per month. Zapier starts at about 20 euros per month and Make at about 10 euros per month, both plus setup and maintenance time. Superkind is priced per use case, a fraction of a full-time hire. The deciding factor is the scope of work the AI employee takes on.
