ClickUp AI Agents Setup Guide

How to Use ClickUp AI Agents with Google Gemini

ClickUp now includes AI Agents powered by Google Gemini to help you plan work, answer questions, and automate repetitive tasks directly inside your workspace. This step-by-step guide explains how to access, configure, and use these agents so your team can work faster with reliable, context-aware assistance.

What Are ClickUp AI Agents?

AI Agents are intelligent helpers that live in your workspace. They use your tasks, docs, and project data plus Google Gemini to deliver relevant answers and suggestions. Instead of switching tools, you can ask questions, generate content, and trigger actions where work already happens.

With AI Agents, you can:

  • Ask questions about projects, tasks, and docs.
  • Summarize long conversations or documents.
  • Draft updates, briefs, emails, and meeting notes.
  • Automate follow-up tasks and workflows.

The goal is to keep your team aligned and reduce busywork, while maintaining visibility and control inside your existing processes.

How ClickUp AI Agents Use Your Data

When you interact with AI Agents, they can reference the work stored in your workspace to answer questions more accurately. This may include:

  • Tasks, subtasks, and checklists.
  • Docs, notes, and knowledge bases.
  • Comments, chat threads, and activity history.
  • Assigned owners, due dates, and task statuses.

Because AI Agents rely on workspace data, responses can reflect your current priorities, timelines, and responsibilities, instead of generic answers. You remain in control of what is shared and how the output is used across your teams.

Getting Started with ClickUp AI Agents

Before you can rely on AI Agents day to day, you need to confirm that AI is enabled in your workspace and that you have the right access.

Step 1: Verify AI Availability in ClickUp

  1. Sign in to your workspace as an owner or admin.
  2. Open your workspace settings from the main sidebar.
  3. Look for AI or AI Agents settings in the configuration menu.
  4. Confirm that AI features are enabled for your plan and users.

If AI is not visible, your plan may require an upgrade or you may need to contact your workspace admin to enable access.

Step 2: Enable AI Agents for Your Team

Once AI is available for your workspace, you can enable AI Agents for specific teams or members:

  1. From workspace settings, navigate to the AI or security settings area.
  2. Review which spaces, folders, or lists will allow AI Agents to use data.
  3. Toggle access on or off for each relevant area based on your policies.
  4. Confirm which members or roles can interact with AI Agents.

Align these settings with your internal processes and data privacy requirements before rolling out access to everyone.

How to Interact with ClickUp AI Agents

You can use AI Agents in multiple parts of the platform depending on the kind of help you need.

Use AI Agents in Tasks

AI Agents can be used directly inside the task view to speed up planning and communication:

  1. Open a task that contains relevant details and context.
  2. Locate the AI button or assistant panel in the task interface.
  3. Ask a question such as “Summarize this task and comments” or “Draft a status update for this task.”
  4. Review the response, then insert or edit the generated content before saving.

Because AI Agents can read the task’s fields, comments, and related information, responses are tailored to the work at hand.

Use AI Agents in Docs

Docs are ideal for planning, documentation, and knowledge sharing. AI Agents can help you:

  • Outline a new document based on a short prompt.
  • Rewrite content for clarity or tone.
  • Summarize long sections for quick review.
  • Generate action items from meeting notes.

To use AI in docs, open a doc, place your cursor where you want help, and invoke the AI assistant from the toolbar or context menu.

Use AI Agents for Workspace Search and Answers

AI Agents can also assist with answering workspace-wide questions:

  1. Open the global search or command bar.
  2. Type a natural language question such as “What are the top priorities for this week?”
  3. Let the agent scan tasks, docs, and comments to compile an answer.
  4. Follow any suggested links or tasks to review the details.

This helps you quickly understand progress, blockers, or context without manually opening each item.

Best Practices for ClickUp AI Agents

To get consistent and reliable results, keep these practices in mind when working with AI Agents.

Give Clear and Specific Prompts

AI works best when your prompts are:

  • Specific about the outcome you want.
  • Clear about the audience and tone.
  • Connected to the right tasks or docs.

For example, instead of asking “Write an update,” ask “Write a concise project update for leadership summarizing progress and risks this week.”

Review and Edit AI Output

Always treat AI suggestions as a starting point:

  • Read the content to confirm it matches your expectations.
  • Check names, dates, and numbers for accuracy.
  • Adjust the wording to match your brand or communication style.

This ensures the final result is trustworthy and aligned with your standards.

Control Access and Permissions

Admins should define where AI Agents can draw data from and who can use them. Align AI usage with your security, compliance, and governance rules before scaling to the entire organization.

Use Cases for ClickUp AI Agents

Here are some practical ways teams can use AI Agents in everyday work.

Project and Product Teams

  • Summarize sprint retrospectives and planning notes.
  • Generate user story drafts from high-level ideas.
  • Create release notes from completed tasks.

Operations and Support Teams

  • Turn recurring procedures into checklists and templates.
  • Summarize support conversations into follow-up tasks.
  • Draft internal documentation from existing processes.

Sales and Marketing Teams

  • Draft briefs from discovery call notes.
  • Summarize content ideas from brainstorming docs.
  • Create personalized follow-up emails based on task notes.

Managing Accuracy and Reliability with ClickUp AI Agents

AI Agents rely on both your workspace data and the Google Gemini model. While this combination can be powerful, you should still manage expectations around accuracy.

  • Use AI for summaries, drafts, and idea generation rather than final decisions.
  • Have a human quickly verify key information in sensitive documents.
  • Keep your workspace data organized and up to date so agents work with reliable inputs.

This approach lets you enjoy the speed and convenience of automation while maintaining quality control.
