# Run a client project with your AI and share it read-only

Your AI keeps the project board current; the client follows along on a read-only link.

The client wants to know where things stand; you do not want to write status emails. Keep the project on a board your AI updates while you work, and give the client a link that always shows the current state.

## 1. Start the board

1. Choose **Create** in the top bar, then **Browse templates**, and pick **Client project**.
2. Choose **Create board**. It has the lists Brief, Ideas and notes, To do, Doing, In review with the client and Done, and the labels Waiting on client and Billable.

Its instructions tell your AI to keep internal notes, prices that are not agreed and other clients' names off the board, because the board may be shared.

## 2. Let your AI keep it current

1. Connect your AI once, see [the setup page](https://listspace.app/setup).
2. Ask it to work from the board, for example `Read my Client project board and add what we agreed in this call`. It adds items, moves them as the work moves, and comments on what it did.

## 3. Share it read-only

1. On the board, click **Share**.
2. Turn on **Public link** and click **Copy**. Send the link to the client.

The client needs no account. The page shows the lists, items with their descriptions, labels, checklists, sub-items and start and due dates, marked **Read only**. Archived items stay hidden. Under **Link settings** you can add a password, choose **Show comments** (the text and dates, never who wrote them) and **Show images inside items**.

## Or invite the client as a guest

1. In **Share**, under **Guests**, type the client's email address, pick a **Role** and click **Invite**.
2. The client signs up for a free account and sees the board, with a banner saying who owns it.

A guest with the Comment role can comment and ask questions. On Free a board has 1 guest, with View or Comment; Pro allows up to 5 guests with any role. **Access until** ends access on a date you choose.
