How to Use ClickUp AI Agents on Mac

ClickUp offers AI Agents that run directly on your Mac to help you automate work, answer questions, and manage tasks without leaving your desktop. This guide walks you through how to install, set up, and use AI Agents on macOS step by step.

What You Need Before Using ClickUp AI Agents

Before you start, make sure your Mac and workspace are ready to work with AI Agents.

  • A compatible Mac computer running a supported version of macOS
  • Access to the ClickUp desktop application for Mac
  • An active ClickUp account with AI features enabled
  • Stable internet connection for syncing and live AI responses

Once these basics are in place, you can configure the Mac environment and connect your workspace.

Install the ClickUp App on Mac

To use AI Agents effectively, you need the native Mac application installed.

Step 1: Download ClickUp for Mac

  1. Open your preferred browser on your Mac.
  2. Go to the official ClickUp AI Agents for Mac page at this ClickUp Mac AI Agents link.
  3. Click the download button for macOS and save the installer file to your computer.

Step 2: Install the Application

  1. Locate the downloaded .dmg or installer file in your Downloads folder.
  2. Double-click the file to open the installer.
  3. Drag the ClickUp app icon into your Applications folder if prompted.
  4. Open the Applications folder and double-click ClickUp to launch it.
  5. If macOS displays a security prompt, confirm that you want to open the app from a verified source.

Sign In and Connect Your ClickUp Workspace

After installation, connect your account to start using workspace data with AI Agents.

  1. Launch the ClickUp Mac application from your Applications folder or Dock.
  2. On the sign-in screen, enter the email and password for your ClickUp account.
  3. If you use SSO or OAuth (such as Google or Microsoft login), choose the correct option and authenticate.
  4. Select the workspace you want to connect when prompted.

Once your workspace is connected, your tasks, docs, and spaces will be available for AI workflows.

Configure ClickUp AI Agents on Mac

With the application running, you can now configure AI Agents to assist with work on your Mac.

Access ClickUp AI Settings

  1. Open the ClickUp app menu on your Mac.
  2. Navigate to your profile or workspace settings, depending on your plan and role.
  3. Locate the AI or AI Agents section in the settings sidebar.

From here, you can manage how AI interacts with your content, what sources are accessible, and how data is processed.

Enable Workspace AI Features

  1. Within the AI settings, find the toggle or controls to enable AI Agents for your workspace.
  2. Review any permissions or access scopes presented on screen.
  3. Confirm the settings so AI Agents can read relevant docs, tasks, or spaces as allowed by your admin configuration.

If you are not an admin, you may need to ask a workspace owner to activate AI features for your team.

Create Your First AI Agent Workflow in ClickUp

Once AI is enabled, you can configure specific workflows that run on your Mac using workspace data.

Step 1: Choose a Use Case

Common AI Agent workflows in ClickUp for Mac include:

  • Summarizing long documents or task threads
  • Answering questions about project status
  • Drafting updates or reports based on current tasks
  • Helping with planning and prioritizing work in lists or boards

Step 2: Open an AI-Powered View

  1. In the ClickUp Mac app, open the space, folder, list, task, or doc where you want to use AI.
  2. Look for the AI or AI Agent icon in the toolbar, side panel, or action menu.
  3. Select the option to start an AI prompt or AI workflow.

Step 3: Run an AI Prompt

  1. Type a clear prompt describing what you want the AI Agent to do. For example: “Summarize this task thread for a weekly report.”
  2. Confirm the content source (task, doc, list, or space) if the app asks for it.
  3. Run the AI action and wait for the response.

You can refine the AI Agent response by editing the prompt, asking follow-up questions, or choosing alternative suggestions offered on screen.

Use ClickUp AI Agents Across Your Mac Workflow

With configuration complete, make AI Agents part of your daily Mac-based workflow.

Practical Ways to Use AI Agents

  • Planning: Ask an AI Agent to create a daily or weekly plan from your current ClickUp tasks.
  • Documentation: Convert meeting notes stored in docs into action items inside your workspace.
  • Support: Use AI to quickly find information across projects without manually opening each item.
  • Reporting: Generate short summaries of progress or blockers for status updates.

Tips for Better AI Results on Mac

  • Provide specific prompts that mention the list, doc, or space you want to analyze.
  • Use short bullet points when asking for summaries or outlines.
  • Review AI outputs before sharing them with your team.
  • Organize your workspace so tasks and docs are clearly labeled, helping AI Agents locate the right content.

Manage Security and Privacy in ClickUp on Mac

AI Agents respect the existing permissions set in your ClickUp workspace, and access is limited by roles and sharing configurations.

  • Only content you can view in ClickUp is available to AI Agents on your Mac.
  • Admin settings determine which spaces or features use AI.
  • Changes to permissions in the workspace apply automatically to AI Agents.

For deeper strategy and implementation help, you can consult external experts, such as the team at Consultevo, to align usage with your security policies.
