# Syncing AI Column Outputs to Other Boards with SIMB

> SIMB syncs AI column outputs to matching columns on other boards — the AI logic only runs on the source board, not the destination.

AI columns are supported by SIMB, with one important nuance to understand before you set things up. When monday.com runs an AI process on a column — such as extracting keywords, generating summaries, or tagging items — it stores the result as a column value, just like any other data. SIMB syncs that output value to any matching column on a connected board. What SIMB does **not** do is re-run the AI logic on the target board. The intelligence stays on the source board; the result travels across boards.

## How it works

SIMB treats AI column output the same as any other column value. As long as the column on the target board:

* Has the **same name** as the AI column on the source board, and
* Is the **same column type** (for example, Text, Status, or People)

...the AI-generated value will sync automatically whenever it changes on the source board.

## Example

Suppose Board A has an AI column called **"Summary"** (type: Text) that uses monday.com's AI automation to generate a keyword summary from item updates.

To receive that summary on Board B:

* Create a **Text** column on Board B.
* Name it **"Summary"** — exactly as it appears on Board A, including capitalization.
* Share the item using SIMB.

Once those conditions are met, every time the AI updates the Summary value on Board A, SIMB syncs that value to the Summary column on Board B automatically.

## Step-by-step setup

<Steps>
  <Step title="Check the AI column type on the source board">
    Open the source board and click the AI column's settings. Note the **column type** — it may be Text, Status, People, or another type depending on how the AI feature was configured. You'll need to match this exactly on the destination board.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a matching column on the destination board">
    On the destination board, add a new column with the **same type** as the AI column on the source board. Give it **exactly the same name**, character-for-character including spaces and capitalization.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share the item using SIMB">
    Open the item and use SIMB to share it to the destination board (or confirm it's already shared). SIMB will detect the matching column and sync the AI-generated output automatically from that point forward.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Best practices

<Tip>
  * **Keep column names identical across all boards.** Even a single character difference — like a trailing space or different casing — prevents the sync.
  * **Don't mix column types.** If the AI output is stored in a Text column on the source board, the destination column must also be Text. Syncing to a Status column won't work, even if the values look similar.
  * **Check the column type if you're unsure.** You can verify an AI column's type via the column settings menu, or by consulting monday.com's documentation for the specific AI feature you're using.
</Tip>

<Note>
  If you're using AI columns as part of a monday.com template or a workflow automation — for example, to auto-tag items, generate summaries, or classify tasks — syncing them with SIMB ensures the output stays consistent across every board where the item lives. This is especially useful when different teams view the same item on different boards and all need to see the AI-generated data.
