ClickUp AI
AI features inside ClickUp that draft, summarize, generate subtasks, write docs and answer questions about your work, with add-on plans that scale from simple assistance to autonomous task handling.
Overview
ClickUp AI (ClickUp Brain) brings writing aids, stand-up summaries and context answers into tasks, docs and chat. Use templates for PRDs, meeting notes and user stories; ask questions that pull context from tasks, docs and people; and auto-generate subtasks, acceptance criteria and action items after meetings. Role-specific prompts tailor tone for PMs, engineers and marketers.
Advanced tiers add research, web answers and automation that drafts updates or routes work without manual effort. Because AI sits inside ClickUp, results are grounded in your workspace; admins manage access, model choices and data controls. Teams adopt AI incrementally—starting with writing and summarization, then enabling automation on projects where quality, speed and auditability matter.
