How to Use AI Agents in ClickUp with Gemini
ClickUp now integrates AI Agents powered by Google Gemini to help you automate work, generate content, and act on information directly inside your workspace. This guide walks you through how to access, configure, and use these agents so your team can work faster and more accurately.
What Are ClickUp AI Agents with Gemini?
AI agents in ClickUp are intelligent assistants that understand your context, your tasks, and your documents. They use Google Gemini to reason over your workspace and perform actions, not just answer questions.
From the source integration page, AI agents are designed to:
- Understand your work across tasks, docs, and tools
- Generate and improve content using rich context
- Execute actions like updating tasks and summarizing projects
- Serve as a work-specific copilot instead of a generic chatbot
These capabilities help your team move from simple prompt-and-response to a full AI execution engine tightly connected to your projects.
How ClickUp AI Agents Work with Gemini
The integration uses Google Gemini as the reasoning engine behind your workspace. ClickUp connects Gemini to your tasks, documents, and workflows so the agent can read, understand, and act on information that already exists in your system.
At a high level, the workflow is:
- You give an instruction, such as summarizing a project, drafting content, or organizing tasks.
- The agent fetches relevant data from your workspace.
- Gemini interprets the context, reasons over it, and proposes an output or action.
- ClickUp applies the result directly in tasks, docs, or views, depending on your instruction.
This combination means you get AI that is grounded in your work, not random public data.
Getting Started with ClickUp AI Agents
Follow these steps based on the information on the Gemini integration page to start using AI agents in your workspace.
Step 1: Confirm Access to ClickUp AI
First, ensure that AI features are available in your ClickUp plan and enabled in your workspace settings. If you are an owner or admin, verify that AI options are turned on for members who need them.
- Open your workspace settings.
- Locate the AI or AI Agents section.
- Confirm that access is enabled for your team.
If you are unsure which plan you need, consult your account manager or review the pricing and AI feature details from your ClickUp account area.
Step 2: Connect AI Agents to Your Work
AI agents are most effective when they can see enough context to reason properly. From the integration overview, the agent is designed to work across tasks, docs, and other work objects.
To prepare your workspace:
- Organize related tasks into clear lists and folders.
- Store project briefs, requirements, and notes in docs linked to the right spaces.
- Use custom fields and statuses consistently so the agent can interpret progress and metadata.
This structure lets the agent powered by Gemini pull the right information when you ask for summaries, plans, or updates.
Core Ways to Use ClickUp AI Agents
According to the Gemini integration page, the focus of AI agents in ClickUp is to help you understand, generate, and act on work. Below are practical examples of how to do that.
Use ClickUp AI to Understand Your Work
You can ask the agent to analyze and explain existing projects so you do not need to read every task and comment yourself.
Common prompts include:
- Summarize this project and highlight risks.
- Explain the current status of this release.
- List blockers for this sprint and who owns them.
Behind the scenes, the agent looks at related tasks, docs, and activity, then creates a concise overview based on your workspace data.
Use ClickUp AI to Generate Content
The agent can draft content using your real project context rather than generic examples. From the Gemini-powered integration page, this includes content such as:
- Project briefs and requirement outlines
- Meeting agendas and follow-up notes
- Status reports for stakeholders
- Email drafts and communication templates
Because the agent is connected to your ClickUp workspace, it can pull details like deadlines, owners, and scope directly into the draft.
Use ClickUp AI to Take Action
AI agents in ClickUp are also designed to perform actions, not just write text. While specifics vary by configuration, examples highlighted by the integration concept include:
- Updating task statuses based on progress descriptions
- Creating new tasks from a natural-language description
- Reorganizing items into lists based on priority or type
- Suggesting assignments for tasks based on ownership patterns
By letting the agent handle these recurring updates, your team can stay focused on high-value work.
Best Practices for ClickUp AI Agents
To get reliable results from AI agents powered by Gemini in ClickUp, use clear prompts and maintain healthy workspace hygiene.
Write Clear, Contextual Prompts
Stronger prompts make it easier for the agent to understand your intent.
- Specify the project or folder when you ask for summaries.
- Mention the audience for any content you ask it to draft.
- State the format you want, such as bullet list, table, or short summary.
Example: “Summarize the mobile app launch project in this folder for executives in 5 bullet points.”
Keep Your ClickUp Workspace Organized
Because the agent depends on your data, consistent structure improves accuracy.
- Use descriptive task names and clear statuses.
- Link related docs to their parent tasks or projects.
- Clean up duplicates so the agent is not confused by outdated work.
An organized workspace becomes a high-quality knowledge base for the Gemini model to reason over.
Review and Refine AI Output
Even with a strong model, human review remains essential.
- Scan every summary or draft for accuracy and tone.
- Adjust any task changes suggested by the agent if they do not match your process.
- Use comments to clarify decisions so future AI runs see better context.
This feedback loop helps you steadily improve the quality of the results over time.
ClickUp AI Agents and Security
The Gemini integration materials emphasize that AI in ClickUp is designed with enterprise-grade security in mind. While the page focuses on product capabilities, you should still align usage with your internal policies.
Common steps teams take include:
- Defining which spaces and docs are accessible to AI agents.
- Controlling who can run AI actions or change settings.
- Auditing workspace activity to monitor how AI is used.
Check your admin and security settings to ensure they match your company standards before rolling out AI features widely.
