How to Use ClickUp AI Step-by-Step

ClickUp offers built-in AI tools that help you write faster, think clearly, and organize work across projects. This guide walks you through how to use its Loveable AI features to plan, draft, and manage tasks more efficiently.

What Is ClickUp Loveable AI?

Loveable AI in ClickUp is a set of task-aware assistants, writing tools, and workflow helpers that live directly inside your docs and tasks. They are designed to support you throughout the entire workflow, not just when you need to generate text.

Instead of juggling separate apps, you can use AI in the same place you plan sprints, create documentation, or manage campaigns. The AI understands context from your work, so it can provide relevant, structured output for your team.

Where to Use ClickUp AI in Your Workspace

You can access AI across several areas of your workspace, especially inside tasks and documents. Loveable AI focuses on three main spaces:

• Docs: Draft, edit, summarize, and rewrite content.
• Tasks: Turn ideas into detailed checklists and descriptions.
• Workflows: Convert loose notes or ideas into organized plans.

The AI features are integrated directly into the interface so you can invoke them without leaving your work context.

How to Enable ClickUp AI

Before using the assistants, you need to make sure AI is enabled for your workspace. The exact steps may vary based on your plan and settings, but the typical flow is:

1. Open your workspace settings from the main navigation.
2. Locate the AI or Loveable AI section under features or add-ons.
3. Confirm that AI is turned on for your account and, if needed, assign it to relevant team members.
4. Save your settings and refresh your workspace if prompted.

Once enabled, AI buttons or icons will appear in docs and tasks, signaling that the assistant is available.

Using ClickUp AI in Docs

Docs are a primary place where Loveable AI shines. You can transform a blank page into a structured asset quickly.

Start a New Doc with ClickUp AI

1. Create a new doc in your space, folder, or task.
2. Click the AI button or prompt icon inside the doc editor.
3. Choose a suggested use case or enter your own prompt (for example, “Create a product requirements outline for a new feature”).
4. Review the generated content and adjust headings, sections, or tone as needed.

The AI uses the instructions you provide to give you a structured starting point, so the more specific your prompt, the better the result.

Rewrite and Improve Existing Content with ClickUp

You can also use AI to refine text you already have.

1. Highlight a paragraph or section in your doc.
2. Open the AI menu from the context toolbar.
3. Select an action such as Rewrite, Shorten, Expand, or Change tone.
4. Review the suggestions and insert the version that best fits your document.

This helps you keep a consistent tone across product specs, knowledge base articles, and internal documentation.

Summarize Long Docs with ClickUp AI

When a doc is long or complex, you can ask AI for a concise summary.

1. Open the doc you want to summarize.
2. Click the AI icon in the editor.
3. Choose a summary option, such as a bullet-point overview or key takeaways.
4. Insert the summary at the top or into a separate section for quick reference.

Summaries are especially useful for decision makers who need a fast overview before diving into the details.

Using ClickUp AI in Tasks

Tasks are where your ideas turn into action. Loveable AI helps you convert high-level thoughts into clear, actionable items.

Turn Ideas into Task Checklists with ClickUp

1. Open an existing task or create a new one.
2. In the task description, type a short explanation of what needs to be done.
3. Click the AI button in the description field.
4. Ask AI to generate a checklist or set of steps based on your description.
5. Review the output and convert bullet points into actionable subtasks or checklist items.

This workflow ensures you do not miss critical steps and helps you standardize how tasks are executed.

Write Clear Task Descriptions with ClickUp AI

AI can help you write descriptions that teammates can follow easily.

1. Draft a rough outline of the task goals.
2. Select your text and open the AI menu.
3. Choose an option to clarify, organize, or expand the content.
4. Insert the improved version into the description field.

Clear, AI-assisted descriptions reduce back-and-forth questions and keep projects moving smoothly.

Summarize Task Activity in ClickUp

For tasks with long comment threads or many updates, you can use AI to generate a quick summary.

1. Open the task with extensive activity or notes.
2. Access the AI feature in the task view.
3. Request a summary of the latest updates or key decisions.
4. Save the summary in the description or a comment for future reference.

This is valuable for handoffs, leadership reporting, and onboarding new collaborators to an ongoing task.

Best Practices for Prompts in ClickUp

How you phrase prompts greatly affects the quality of output. Keep these practices in mind:

• Be specific: Include the audience, format, and goal.
• Provide context: Mention the project, product, or campaign.
• Set constraints: Ask for word counts, bullet lists, or sections.
• Iterate: Refine prompts based on results until they match your needs.

For example, instead of asking for “a meeting summary,” you might request “a 5-bullet meeting summary highlighting decisions, owners, and deadlines.”

Collaborating with Your Team Using ClickUp AI

Loveable AI is designed for teams, not just individual creators. You can combine AI-generated content with real-time collaboration so multiple people refine and approve content in one place.

Team members can comment on AI output, suggest edits, and use version history to track how a doc or task description evolves over time. This supports smoother cross-functional collaboration between product, marketing, operations, and leadership.

When to Use ClickUp AI vs Manual Work

While AI accelerates many tasks, it works best alongside human judgment. Use AI when you need:

• A fast first draft for documentation or briefs.
• Structured plans from loose ideas or notes.
• Summaries of long content or task threads.
• Alternative phrasings, tones, or formats.

Rely on manual edits when handling sensitive information, final approvals, or brand-critical messaging. AI should get you 60–80% of the way there, and your expertise completes the rest.
