Bulk Actions Using AI
The AI assistant and the MCP integration let you make bulk actions across Ducalis data—Ideas, Issues, criteria, users, and more—in one request instead of updating each item by hand.
Instead of opening dozens of items one at a time, describe what you want in natural language. The assistant finds the matching items and applies the change to all of them.
Use bulk actions with AI to:
-
Set up boards and their descriptions in one pass
-
Apply labels and assignees across many Issues or Ideas at once
-
Publish, search, tag, or clean up backlog and voting board items in bulk, etc.
How to run a bulk action
- Open the AI assistant, or connect to Ducalis from an MCP-enabled tool.
- Describe the bulk action you want, including which items it should apply to.
- Review what the assistant found and confirm before it applies the change.
Examples of bulk actions
