How to Use ClickUp AI for Personalized Task Priorities
ClickUp offers AI Agents that automatically generate personalized task priorities so you always know what to work on next based on impact, effort, and deadlines.
This how-to guide walks you through enabling AI Agents, understanding how priorities are calculated, and using your AI-built lists to stay focused on your most important work.
What Are ClickUp AI Agents for Task Priorities?
AI Agents in ClickUp continuously analyze your workspace to surface the tasks that matter most to you personally, not just to your team.
They build living lists that are always up to date and tailored to your role, preferences, and current workload.
Key benefits of ClickUp AI-powered priorities
- See your highest-impact tasks at a glance.
- Reduce time spent manually sorting and filtering work.
- Automatically adapt to new assignments and changing deadlines.
- Stay aligned with team goals while keeping focus on your own responsibilities.
How ClickUp AI Calculates Your Priorities
The AI Agent uses a custom scoring system to decide which tasks you should tackle first.
The score of a task increases when the task is likely more important to you or more urgent for your team.
Main factors used by ClickUp AI
- Effort: How much work is required to complete the task.
- Impact: How much the task contributes to team or company goals.
- Deadlines: Due dates, start dates, and any time-sensitive requirements.
- Priority fields: Existing priority flags or custom priority fields in your workspace.
- Ownership: Whether you are assigned, a watcher, or mentioned in the task.
- Project context: The importance of the List, Folder, or Space where the task lives.
By combining these signals, the system produces a ranked list that aims to maximize value across both your personal workload and your team’s objectives.
Preparing Your Workspace for ClickUp AI Agents
Before you rely on AI for priorities, make sure your workspace data is in good shape so the scoring can be as accurate as possible.
Best practices to improve AI prioritization
- Keep assignees current
Ensure each task has the correct person or people assigned. Unassigned tasks that are actually yours may be under-prioritized.
- Use due dates consistently
Add realistic due dates to time-sensitive work. Tasks without dates can appear less urgent to the AI Agent.
- Apply priority levels
If your workspace uses priority flags or custom fields, apply them consistently across projects so the AI has a strong signal.
- Close completed tasks
Mark tasks as complete as soon as they are finished. This prevents them from showing up in your personalized lists.
- Organize key initiatives
Group related work into Lists, Folders, or Spaces to help the system recognize the context and importance of larger projects.
How to Access Personalized Task Priorities in ClickUp
Once AI Agents are active in your workspace, you can open your personalized priority view in a few clicks.
Step-by-step: Open your AI-powered priority list
- Sign in to your workspace
Log into your account from the web app.
- Go to the AI Agents experience
Open the AI-powered productivity view provided by the AI Agents feature. This is the central place where your personalized task priorities appear.
- Select your personal priorities list
Choose the view dedicated to your individualized task ranking. This view highlights the work that the AI Agent believes is most important for you right now.
- Review the top tasks
Look at the tasks at the top of the list. These are suggested as your next best actions based on effort, impact, and deadlines.
- Drill into task details
Open any task to see its context, sub-tasks, comments, and attachments before getting started.
Working From Your ClickUp AI Priority List
Your AI-powered list is designed as a working dashboard where you can take action directly without hunting through Spaces or Views.
Use ClickUp AI priorities in your daily workflow
- Start with the top few items
Each day, focus on the first three to five tasks in your list to ensure you are always moving the most valuable work forward.
- Re-check after completing tasks
When you complete or update tasks, refresh the list. The AI Agent may re-score remaining work and adjust the order.
- Reschedule when needed
If a suggested task does not fit your day, adjust its due date or effort estimate. The new information will inform future rankings.
- Use comments and mentions
Collaborate directly from the task using comments and mentions so key discussions stay tied to prioritized work.
Improving Results From ClickUp AI Over Time
The quality of your personalized list improves as you keep your data accurate and interact with your tasks.
Ongoing habits that help the AI Agent
- Regularly update task statuses and completion.
- Adjust effort or impact estimates when they change.
- Keep an eye on upcoming deadlines and reschedule early.
- Archive or move outdated projects so they do not crowd the list.
Because the system continuously analyzes your activity and workspace changes, even small updates compound over time into more relevant priority suggestions.
Limitations of ClickUp AI Personalized Priorities
While AI Agents are powerful, they are not a replacement for your judgment. There may be situations where you intentionally focus on tasks that appear lower in the list, such as urgent issues that have not yet been fully documented.
Always balance the automatically generated ranking with your understanding of strategic goals, stakeholder expectations, and last-minute changes.
