How to Use ClickUp AI Content Relevance Filtering

ClickUp provides AI content relevance filtering so you can decide exactly which sources are used to train your workspace AI and power smarter assistants. This guide walks you through how to configure relevance settings, manage included content, and keep your knowledge base focused and accurate.

By following these steps, you will control which tasks, docs, and views are considered relevant to AI models and how new data is added over time.

What Is AI Content Relevance in ClickUp?

AI content relevance filtering is a workspace control that lets admins define what information should influence AI behavior. Instead of using every available item, you can limit AI training to specific locations, types of content, or pre-approved data.

This helps you:

• Prevent irrelevant or outdated content from affecting AI answers
• Protect sensitive data from being used as training input
• Keep AI responses aligned with your current workflows and policies

These relevance rules apply to models powering workspace assistants, automation, and other AI features.

Key Concepts for ClickUp AI Content Relevance

Before changing settings, understand the core elements involved in content relevance control.

Supported Content Types in ClickUp

The relevance filter can be applied to multiple content types in your workspace, such as:

• Tasks, including descriptions and comments
• Docs and knowledge base pages
• Views and lists that organize task information
• Spaces or folders where content is grouped

Which items are eligible may depend on your plan and AI configuration.

Relevance Rules and Scope

Relevance rules define which items can be ingested for AI training. Scope can be based on:

• Workspace-level configuration
• Specific spaces, folders, or lists
• Content status, such as active or archived
• Other internal filters available in your workspace

Only content matching your chosen scope is considered relevant for AI learning and retrieval.

Prerequisites for Managing AI Content in ClickUp

To manage AI content relevance filtering, ensure the following prerequisites are met:

• You have an active workspace with AI features enabled
• You are a workspace admin or have the required permissions to update AI settings
• Your plan supports content relevance controls

If you are unsure which AI controls are available, review your workspace plan details or contact your admin.

How to Access AI Content Relevance Settings in ClickUp

Follow these steps to reach the relevance configuration area:

1. Open your workspace settings from the main navigation.

2. Locate the AI or intelligence section in the admin panel.

3. Select the content relevance or training data module.

4. Review the current relevance configuration before making changes.

The exact naming of menus may vary slightly based on updates, but the relevance controls will be grouped with other AI management options.

Configuring Content Relevance Rules in ClickUp

Once in the relevance area, configure which content is considered relevant for AI models.

Step 1: Choose the Relevance Strategy

Start by defining the high-level strategy for your workspace:

• Broad inclusion: Most content is allowed, with a few exceptions.
• Selective inclusion: Only defined areas or types are allowed.
• Strict inclusion: AI is limited to a small, curated set of knowledge sources.

Your choice depends on your compliance, security, and accuracy requirements.

Step 2: Select Content Sources

Next, specify which sources the AI can learn from:

1. Choose spaces, folders, or lists that contain approved documentation.

2. Include core knowledge sources such as company handbooks and process docs.

3. Exclude experimental or personal areas that may hold incomplete information.

These selections define the primary training pool for AI behavior.

Step 3: Apply Filters and Conditions

Refine your configuration with additional filters:

• Limit by status (for example, exclude archived or closed items).
• Restrict by date range to avoid outdated content.
• Filter by content ownership or responsibility areas if available.

Combining structural scope with filters ensures only high-quality, timely content is used.

Step 4: Save and Activate the Rules

After setting up your rules:

1. Review the summary of included and excluded content types.

2. Confirm that no sensitive areas are unintentionally included.

3. Save the configuration and activate the relevance rules for your workspace AI.

Changes may take some time to fully propagate through all AI features, depending on workspace size.

Best Practices for ClickUp AI Content Relevance

To maintain effective AI behavior, use these best practices when maintaining relevance settings.

Keep Your Knowledge Sources Clean

Make sure the content you include in relevance rules is well organized:

• Keep docs updated and remove deprecated information.
• Use clear naming conventions for spaces, folders, and lists.
• Archive or separate experimental content from official documentation.

This structure makes it easier to apply precise relevance filters.

Review ClickUp AI Relevance Regularly

Content relevance is not a one-time setup. Review it on a scheduled basis:

• Revisit configuration when you create new spaces or major projects.
• Adjust filters when policies, teams, or workflows change.
• Audit AI responses to make sure they align with current data.

Frequent reviews help your AI stay trusted and accurate.

Limit Sensitive Content Exposure

Use relevance filtering as an additional layer of protection for sensitive material:

• Exclude spaces containing confidential legal, HR, or financial data.
• Segment internal notes away from external-facing documentation.
• Use permissions together with relevance rules for defense in depth.

This approach reduces the chance of AI surfacing restricted information.

Troubleshooting AI Content Relevance in ClickUp

If AI results are not meeting expectations, use these checks to troubleshoot.

AI Answers Feel Irrelevant

If responses are off-topic or too generic, verify the following:

• Ensure your primary knowledge spaces are included in relevance rules.
• Remove noisy or outdated spaces from the training scope.
• Confirm that filters are not excluding your most important docs or tasks.

After adjustments, give the system time to reflect new relevance settings.

AI Is Missing Key Information

If the AI does not seem aware of critical processes:

• Check that essential docs are stored in included locations.
• Verify that their status and dates are not blocked by filters.
• Consider broadening the relevance scope temporarily, then refine.

Once the missing content is confirmed as part of training data, test again with sample questions.
