How to Use ClickUp AI Agent Eliza for Your Work
ClickUp provides an AI Agent named Eliza that helps you plan work, automate tasks, and manage projects using trusted knowledge from your workspace. This how-to guide walks you through using Eliza step by step so you can get more done with less effort.
What Eliza in ClickUp Can Do for You
Eliza is a workflow-focused AI Agent built directly into your workspace. Instead of acting as a general chatbot, it is optimized to understand work, tasks, and projects.
With Eliza you can:
- Plan work and create structured workflows
- Generate tasks, subtasks, and checklists
- Answer questions using workspace data you trust
- Transform and improve existing content
- Summarize long items like docs and comments
Eliza is designed to act like a reliable teammate that knows your processes and helps you move work forward.
How ClickUp AI Agent Eliza Works
Eliza uses a framework called Trusted Instruction Graphs, or TIGs, to ensure responses are reliable and grounded in your workspace and settings.
In practice this means Eliza:
- Uses your instructions to create machine-readable workflows
- Connects those workflows with your workspace data and structure
- Executes multi-step actions safely and consistently
The AI Agent applies your context every time it works, so the outcomes are aligned with your goals and organization.
Getting Started with ClickUp AI Agent Eliza
You interact with Eliza through a chat-like interface inside your workspace. Follow these high-level steps to begin.
Step 1: Open the Eliza Interface in ClickUp
Locate the AI Agent area in your workspace where you can type messages and see responses. This is where you will give instructions to Eliza.
- Open your workspace where AI features are available.
- Access the AI Agent or Eliza panel in the interface.
- Confirm you are in the correct Space or context for the work you want to manage.
Once open, you can ask questions, request new workflows, or ask Eliza to work with existing tasks and docs.
Step 2: Describe the Work You Want Eliza to Handle
Eliza works best when you provide clear, outcome-focused instructions. Instead of just asking for content, tell the AI Agent what you are trying to accomplish.
You can describe:
- The project or initiative you want to run
- The steps your team usually follows
- How you want tasks or workflows structured
- Any important constraints or rules
The more concrete your description, the better Eliza can translate it into an actionable workflow in ClickUp.
Step 3: Let Eliza Generate a Trusted Workflow
When you submit your instructions, Eliza converts them into a workflow using the Trusted Instruction Graph framework.
During this stage Eliza:
- Maps steps and decisions into a graph-like process
- Matches the process to your workspace structure and data
- Prepares the actions it will take, such as creating tasks
You can then review the AI Agent’s output before confirming or editing the workflow.
Using ClickUp AI Agent Eliza to Generate Tasks
One of the most powerful uses of Eliza is converting plans into concrete tasks. Instead of building everything manually, you explain your process and let the AI Agent design the structure.
Step 4: Ask Eliza to Create Tasks from Your Plan
Provide Eliza with your plan or outline, then ask it to turn that into tasks and subtasks.
- Describe the project or process you want to execute.
- Specify the milestones, phases, or deliverables.
- Ask Eliza to create tasks, subtasks, and checklists that match your process.
Eliza uses your instructions as the source of truth, so you maintain control over how the workflow is structured in ClickUp.
Step 5: Review and Adjust the Generated Tasks
Before you start working, review what Eliza created.
- Check task names and descriptions for clarity.
- Confirm dependencies or order of operations.
- Add assignees, due dates, or priorities as needed.
You can refine the output by asking Eliza to adjust fields, add more detail, or restructure the workflow. This keeps you in charge while still saving time.
Using ClickUp AI Agent Eliza to Transform Content
Beyond task creation, Eliza can transform existing content and improve how information is used in your workspace.
Step 6: Ask Eliza to Summarize and Clarify Information
Eliza can summarize long documents, task descriptions, or project updates into concise and usable content.
Typical transformations include:
- Summarizing a doc into key bullet points
- Converting meeting notes into action items
- Rewriting descriptions for clarity and brevity
Because the agent works inside ClickUp, it can use your workspace data directly instead of copying information into a separate tool.
Step 7: Use Eliza to Answer Questions from Trusted Data
Eliza can answer questions using the workspace knowledge it has access to. You can ask about procedures, timelines, or project details.
For example, you can:
- Ask for the status of a project or workstream.
- Request a recap of recent activity on a task.
- Query how a particular workflow is supposed to run.
The Trusted Instruction Graph system ensures Eliza bases its responses on reliable, verified sources instead of unstructured guesses.
Best Practices for Using ClickUp AI Agent Eliza
To get the most value from the AI Agent, follow these practical recommendations.
Give Clear, Outcome-Driven Instructions
Describe the result you want, not just the format. For instance, specify that you want a launch workflow, a weekly reporting process, or a recurring checklist instead of asking for generic tasks.
Keep Workflows Tied to Real Workspace Structures
Since Eliza is embedded in ClickUp, design your instructions so they align with Spaces, Folders, Lists, and tasks you already use. This keeps everything organized and ensures the AI Agent remains grounded in your systems.
Iterate and Improve Your Instructions
If the first result is not perfect, adjust your instructions and ask Eliza to refine the workflow. Over time, your descriptions will become reusable building blocks for future work.
