How to Use ClickUp AI Image Agents Step-by-Step

ClickUp now includes AI image agents that help you turn ideas into ready-to-use visuals directly inside your workspace. This how-to guide walks you through everything you need to start generating and managing images with AI in your ClickUp account.

What Are ClickUp AI Image Agents?

AI image agents in ClickUp are specialized assistants that convert text prompts into images and help you refine, version, and organize visual assets where you already manage your tasks and documents.

They are designed for:

• Brainstorming visual concepts quickly
• Creating images from simple text descriptions
• Iterating on designs with step-by-step refinements
• Keeping visuals attached to relevant tasks and docs

How to Access AI Image Agents in ClickUp

Before you can start generating visuals, you need to know where AI image agents live in ClickUp.

1. Open your workspace. Log in to your ClickUp account and select the Space, Folder, or List where you want to work.

2. Navigate to a supported location. AI image agents can typically be used in areas where you already use AI, such as Docs, task comments, or descriptions.

3. Locate the AI icon. Look for the AI or magic wand icon in the editor toolbar. This is your entry point to AI image features.

Once you see the AI interface, you are ready to start using image agents inside ClickUp.

Getting Started: Create Your First Image in ClickUp

Follow these steps to generate your first image with an AI agent from within ClickUp.

1. Open a Doc or task. Choose the Doc or task where you want the image to appear so it stays connected to your work.

2. Click the AI image option. In the AI panel, pick the option that relates to generating images or visuals.

3. Write a clear prompt. Describe exactly what you want, including subject, style, and mood. For example: “A minimalist dashboard mockup in dark mode, with three main panels and clean typography.”

4. Choose style or format (if available). Some AI image agents in ClickUp allow you to pick styles such as illustration, photo-realistic, or icon-style graphics.

5. Generate the image. Submit your prompt and wait a few seconds while the agent creates one or more image options.

6. Insert into your work. Select the version you like and insert it into your Doc, comment, or task description.

Refining AI Images in ClickUp

After your first generation, you can refine the results to better match your vision directly in ClickUp.

Use ClickUp AI Image Agents to Iterate

Refinement typically follows this flow:

1. Review the initial output. Look for what works (composition, colors) and what does not (details, text, layout).

2. Give targeted feedback. Use a follow-up prompt like “Make the background lighter,” or “Add a laptop on the desk,” instead of starting from scratch.

3. Regenerate with adjustments. Ask the ClickUp AI image agent to apply your new instructions to create updated versions.

4. Save preferred versions. Keep multiple variations in the same task or Doc so you can compare and reuse them later.

Practical Prompt Tips for ClickUp AI

To get better images in ClickUp with fewer rounds of edits, follow these prompt practices:

• Be specific. Include subject, environment, style, colors, and perspective.
• Set the purpose. Mention whether it is for a slide, social post, or app mockup.
• Define constraints. Add details like “white background,” “no text,” or “mobile-friendly layout.”
• Iterate instead of restarting. Build on existing outputs by asking for small, clear changes.

Organizing AI-Generated Images in ClickUp

Because AI image agents are integrated into ClickUp, you can keep images organized right alongside your work.

Attach Images to Tasks in ClickUp

To keep your team aligned around the right visuals:

1. Use the task as the single source of truth. Generate or upload images into the same task for each deliverable.

2. Store versions as attachments or in comments. Add notes like “v1,” “client-approved,” or “for internal review.”

3. Link images to subtasks. When multiple assets are needed, create subtasks for each and attach images where they belong.

Manage Visual Workflows in ClickUp

Turn AI image creation into a repeatable process using standard ClickUp features:

• Templates. Create task templates that include a checklist for image prompts, review steps, and approvals.
• Custom fields. Track image status (Draft, In Review, Approved) or usage (Web, Presentation, Social).
• Views. Use Board or List views to see where each AI-generated image sits in your workflow.

Collaborating on AI Images in ClickUp

Collaboration is easier when everyone can see and comment on images directly where work happens.

Share and Review Images with Your Team

To run streamlined reviews inside ClickUp:

1. Mention stakeholders in comments. Tag teammates on tasks that contain AI-generated images and request specific feedback.

2. Use threaded conversations. Keep discussions about each version in a comment thread so feedback is easy to track.

3. Document final decisions. Add a short summary comment like “Version 3 approved for the Q2 presentation” before closing the task.

Best Practices for Team Use of ClickUp AI

To keep AI image work consistent across your organization:

• Define standards. Share brand guidelines, preferred styles, and prompt examples inside a central Doc.
• Create example prompts. Maintain a library of prompts that worked well so team members can adapt them.
• Align on permissions. Decide who can create, edit, and approve AI-generated visuals inside ClickUp.

Using ClickUp AI Images in Everyday Work

Once you are comfortable with AI image agents, incorporate them into routine activities in ClickUp:

• Project planning. Create quick visuals for roadmaps, diagrams, or concept mockups.
• Product design. Generate interface ideas, layouts, or components to speed up brainstorming.
• Marketing content. Draft hero images, social post concepts, or simple illustrations to guide designers.
• Internal documentation. Add diagrams or explanatory visuals to Docs that support onboarding and training.

By keeping your prompts, images, and feedback cycles together, ClickUp becomes the central hub not just for tasks and documents, but also for AI-driven visual creation. Start with small experiments, refine your prompts, and gradually build repeatable workflows that help your entire team move from idea to image faster.
