How to Use ClickUp AI Agents for Content Writing

ClickUp provides AI Agents that help you build repeatable, on-brand content writing workflows directly inside your tasks and docs. This guide walks you step by step through using those agents to turn a simple idea into polished content you can reuse across your workspace.

What You Need Before Using ClickUp AI Agents

Before you start, make sure your workspace is ready to use AI Agents for content writing.

Access to a ClickUp workspace where AI is available
At least one task or doc where you want to generate content
Basic idea of the type of content you need (blog, outline, email, etc.)

Once these are in place, you can move directly into the AI Agent flow.

Open the ClickUp AI Agent for Content Writing

The content writing AI Agent in ClickUp is designed as a guided flow with clear steps. To open it, follow these actions from a task or doc.

Open a task or doc where you want to create content.
Locate the AI or AI Agent trigger in the editor toolbar or sidebar, depending on your workspace layout.
Select the dedicated content-writing AI Agent from the available AI options.

Once you launch it, you will see a structured flow starting with basic information about what you want to produce.

Step 1: Define the Basics in ClickUp AI

The first screen in the ClickUp AI Agent asks you to define key details so the system understands your intent.

Language: Choose the language for your output.
Content type: Select what you want to create (for example, article, outline, social post, email, or similar formats).
Tone and style: Pick or describe the writing style, such as professional, friendly, persuasive, or technical.

Be as clear as you can. This information shapes everything the AI Agent generates in later steps.

Step 2: Add Your Main Idea in ClickUp

Next, the ClickUp AI Agent guides you to provide the core idea or topic you want content about.

Use a short sentence or phrase that summarizes your topic.
Include the main angle or purpose, such as explaining a feature, convincing a buyer, or summarizing research.
Optionally add context like audience type, length preference, or platform where the content will be used.

The more targeted you are here, the more relevant your final draft will be.

Step 3: Review the AI Draft in ClickUp

After you submit your details, the ClickUp AI Agent generates a content draft for you.

Scan the structure: Check headings, flow, and section order.
Review key points: Confirm your main idea and angle are covered.
Inspect tone: Make sure the voice matches the tone you set earlier.

If anything is missing, you can refine your instructions directly in the flow.

Step 4: Refine and Customize Your Draft

The ClickUp AI Agent does not lock you into the first version. You can adjust and regenerate content until it matches your needs.

Use ClickUp AI Editing Options

Use the built-in actions available in the AI Agent view, such as:

Shorten or expand sections
Adjust tone or reading level
Clarify or rephrase complex sentences
Generate alternative introductions or conclusions

Apply changes to specific paragraphs or to the entire draft, then save the version you prefer.

Manually Edit Inside ClickUp

Once you have a strong baseline, edit directly in the ClickUp task or doc.

Add product-specific details or internal data.
Insert images, tables, or additional lists where needed.
Update headings to match your internal style guide.

This blend of AI assistance plus manual editing gives you a detailed, accurate final piece.

Step 5: Turn Your ClickUp Flow into a Reusable Template

One of the strongest benefits of using the AI Agent is turning your successful setup into a repeatable template.

Save Your ClickUp AI Flow

After you complete a content piece using the AI Agent:

Open the same AI Agent configuration panel.
Look for an option to save or reuse the current settings (language, tone, content type, and any special instructions).
Save this configuration with a clear name, such as “Blog Outline Template” or “Product Release Email Script.”

This saved flow lets your team reproduce the same style of content quickly without starting from scratch.

Attach the Template to a ClickUp Task Type

To scale content operations, you can connect your AI Agent setup to a task template or similar structure.

Create or open a task template used for content work.
Add your preferred AI Agent configuration as part of the template description or as a linked AI flow.
Ensure team members know to run the AI Agent whenever they create tasks from that template.

This keeps your entire team using the same, proven workflow.

Step 6: Collaborate and Iterate in ClickUp

Content writing rarely ends with a single draft. Use native collaboration features to improve AI-generated work.

Comments: Tag teammates on specific sections for review or approval.
Task statuses: Move items through stages like Draft, In Review, and Approved.
Subtasks: Break out specialized work such as fact-checking, design, or SEO optimization.

This keeps your AI-assisted content fully integrated with your overall project management process.

Best Practices for Content Writing with ClickUp AI Agents

To get the most from content writing workflows, follow these recommendations.

Store your brand voice and formatting rules in a ClickUp doc.
