Summarize Tasks in ClickUp on Mobile

Using ClickUp on your mobile device, you can quickly generate clear, concise task summaries with ClickUp AI so you always understand the latest updates, comments, and changes while on the go.

This guide walks you through how to access AI tools on the mobile app, create summaries, and customize the information you see for faster decision-making.

What You Need to Use ClickUp AI on Mobile

Before you start summarizing tasks, make sure your workspace and device are set up correctly.

• A workspace with an active ClickUp AI trial or paid ClickUp AI plan.
• The latest version of the ClickUp mobile app installed on your iOS or Android device.
• Permissions to view the task you want to summarize.

Once these requirements are met, you can open any task in the app and begin using AI features.

Open Tasks in the ClickUp Mobile App

To use AI summaries, first navigate to the task you want to review inside the ClickUp mobile interface.

1. Open the ClickUp mobile app on your device.
2. Browse to the correct Space, Folder, and List.
3. Tap the task you want to summarize to open its details view.

From the task details screen, you can access AI actions that help you summarize and analyze task content.

Access ClickUp AI for Task Summaries

Once the task is open, you can use AI to create summaries of the content, updates, and discussions.

1. In the task view, locate the AI icon or AI actions menu. This is typically available near the comment box or toolbar.
2. Tap the AI option to open ClickUp AI tools.
3. Choose the summary-related prompt that best matches what you want to see.

ClickUp AI then scans the task’s relevant content and prepares a summary based on your selection.

Available ClickUp AI Summary Options

In the mobile app, you can use several types of AI-generated summaries to quickly understand a task’s status.

ClickUp Task Summary

This option creates a high-level overview of the task, designed to give you an instant snapshot.

A task summary typically includes:

• The main goal or purpose of the task.
• Important updates or recent progress.
• Key dates or deadlines, when relevant.
• Any major blockers or next steps mentioned in the task.

Use this when you need to understand the overall context of a task without reading every detail.

ClickUp Comments and Activity Summary

This summary focuses on the discussion and activity happening on the task.

It can include:

• Highlights from recent comments.
• Important decisions or agreements.
• Mentions of specific team members.
• Changes to status, assignees, or due dates referenced in the thread.

This is useful when you have missed notifications and want to catch up quickly.

ClickUp Subtasks and Checklist Summary

For complex tasks, you can use AI to understand subtasks or checklist progress.

These summaries may cover:

• How many subtasks are complete or still open.
• Which checklist items remain.
• Key responsibilities across the assignees.

Use this when you want a concise view of work breakdown and completion without opening each sub-item.

Step-by-Step: Summarize a Task with ClickUp AI

Follow this basic workflow whenever you want AI to generate a summary for a task.

1. Open the ClickUp mobile app and go to the relevant task.
2. Tap the AI icon or AI actions from the task view.
3. Select the appropriate summary option, such as a general task summary or comment summary.
4. Wait a moment while ClickUp AI processes the task content.
5. Review the summary text shown on your screen.

If you need a different angle, you can choose another AI prompt or adjust what the summary should focus on.

Customize and Refine ClickUp AI Summaries

You can refine the way ClickUp AI summarizes your tasks by using targeted prompts or follow-up actions.

Ask Follow-Up Questions in ClickUp

After the initial summary is generated, you can often add instructions or follow-up prompts such as:

• “Highlight only blockers and risks.”
• “Summarize decisions made today.”
• “List next actions for the assignee.”

This helps you tailor the summary to your exact needs and keep information focused.

Regenerate or Expand Summaries in ClickUp

If the first result does not include everything you need, you can:

• Regenerate the summary for an alternate version.
• Ask AI to expand a specific section, like risks or decisions.
• Request a shorter or more detailed version, depending on your preference.

This flexibility lets you move from a quick snapshot to a more in-depth view when necessary.

Use ClickUp AI Summaries in Your Workflow

Summaries are most powerful when you incorporate them into your regular mobile workflows.

• Daily review: Quickly scan task summaries at the start or end of your day.
• Meeting prep: Use summaries to get up to speed before standups or client calls.
• Hand-offs: Review AI summaries when handing tasks between team members.
• Status updates: Reference summaries while updating stakeholders on progress.

By relying on these AI-driven insights, you spend less time digging through details and more time acting on what matters.

Tips for Getting Better ClickUp AI Results

Your summaries will improve when the underlying task content is clear and structured.

• Keep task descriptions up to date.
• Use clear, concise language in comments.
• Close out subtasks and checklist items as work progresses.
• Ensure statuses and due dates are accurate.

Well-organized data helps ClickUp AI generate summaries that are more accurate and easier to use.
