How to Use ClickUp Conversational AI Agents

ClickUp conversational AI agents let you manage work with natural language, turning everyday conversations into structured tasks, updates, and plans across your workspace.

This guide walks you step by step through how to start a conversation with an AI agent, refine what it creates, and send the results into your projects and workflows.

Understanding ClickUp Conversational AI Agents

Conversational AI agents in ClickUp are AI-powered assistants that live inside your workspace. You can talk to them in plain language to generate work items and organize information.

They are designed to help teams move from ideas to execution by transforming chat into actionable content.

What ClickUp Conversational Agents Can Do

• Plan projects, campaigns, or sprints from simple prompts.
• Break large ideas into structured subtasks and checklists.
• Draft task descriptions, summaries, and follow-up items.
• Update existing work with new details from a conversation.
• Collaborate with your workspace data using natural language.

Instead of manually building tasks and lists, you describe what you need and let the conversational agent propose a structured blueprint.

How ClickUp Conversational AI Works

At the core, conversational agents in ClickUp combine large language models with your work context. They use your prompts and available workspace information to shape plans and updates.

You talk in a chat-style interface. The agent responds with suggestions and structures you can review, adjust, and then send into your projects.

Typical Workflow With ClickUp Conversational Agents

1. Start a conversation with the agent from the AI interface.
2. Describe what you want to plan, create, or update.
3. Review the proposed structure and content.
4. Refine the output with follow-up prompts.
5. Send approved items to the relevant spaces, folders, or lists.

This keeps your planning interactive and flexible while still ending with concrete tasks and documentation.

Getting Started With ClickUp Conversational AI

Follow these steps to begin using conversational agents in your workspace.

Step 1: Access the Conversational AI Interface

First, open the AI experience in your workspace. From there, you can access the conversational agent view dedicated to dialog-based planning and task creation.

Once open, you will see a chat-style panel where you can start typing natural language prompts.

Step 2: Start a New Conversation

To start a new dialog, open a blank conversation thread in the AI interface.

Use a clear, outcome-focused prompt, such as:

• “Plan a two-week product launch for our new feature.”
• “Create a content calendar for next month with weekly blog posts.”
• “Turn my meeting notes into actionable tasks with owners and due dates.”

The more specific your prompt, the better the conversational agent can structure the resulting work.

Step 3: Review the AI-Generated Plan

After you send your prompt, the conversational agent generates a proposed plan or set of actions.

This might include:

• A grouped list of tasks or milestones.
• Phases or themes organized in a logical order.
• Suggested owners or teams for different work items.
• Draft descriptions and checklists supporting each task.

Carefully read through the response to confirm that it aligns with your actual goals and constraints.

Refining Work With ClickUp Conversational Agents

You can treat the conversational thread as a collaborative space where you and the AI partner refine the plan together.

Step 4: Ask the Agent to Adjust or Expand

If something is missing, unclear, or too high level, ask the agent follow-up questions such as:

• “Break each phase into 3–5 detailed tasks.”
• “Add acceptance criteria for each task.”
• “Refine this plan for a remote team across time zones.”
• “Include a risk mitigation section for key milestones.”

The conversational agent updates the content inside the same thread, so you maintain one coherent narrative of your planning process.

Step 5: Align With Your Existing Structure

Before sending anything to your workspace, make sure the structure produced by the conversational agent matches how you already organize work.

For example, you might:

• Group tasks into your standard phases or swimlanes.
• Rename items so they follow your naming conventions.
• Adjust timing to fit real deadlines and sprints.
• Remove anything that is out of scope or duplicated.

Use additional prompts in the conversation to perform these adjustments where possible, so you reduce manual editing later.

Sending Conversations to ClickUp Workspaces

Once you are satisfied with the plan, you can convert the conversational result into real work items in your workspace.

Step 6: Choose Where to Send the Output

Select the destination space, folder, or list where the items should live.

Common destinations include:

• A project list dedicated to the new initiative.
• A sprint backlog or roadmap folder.
• A general operations list for ongoing tasks.

Mapping the conversational output to the correct location keeps your workspace clean and ensures your team can find the new tasks immediately.

Step 7: Confirm Fields and Settings

When sending items from the conversation into your workspace, check that fields and settings are mapped correctly.

For example, review:

• Task names and descriptions.
• Assignees and watchers where applicable.
• Due dates or timeframes proposed by the agent.
• Custom fields relevant to your processes.

Make any final adjustments, then complete the send action. Your new tasks or documents now appear in the selected location, ready for collaboration.

Ongoing Collaboration With ClickUp Conversational AI

Conversational agents are not only for initial planning; they can help you continuously refine and update work.

Step 8: Use Conversations for Updates

You can return to the conversational interface to:

• Summarize progress and generate status updates.
• Draft stakeholder communications based on current tasks.
• Identify gaps or risks using natural language prompts.
• Propose new tasks when scope changes mid-project.

These ongoing dialogs keep your plans evolving as real work progresses, while still ending with structured updates in your workspace.

Step 9: Turn Meetings Into Action

After important meetings, paste notes or transcripts into a new conversation with the AI agent and ask it to extract action items, owners, and timelines.

Once refined, send these tasks directly into the relevant lists, so nothing falls through the cracks between discussion and delivery.

Best Practices for ClickUp Conversational Agents

To get the most from conversational AI inside your workspace, follow these recommended practices.

Write Clear, Context-Rich Prompts

Provide the agent with enough detail to generate accurate outputs:

• Specify goals, audience, and timeframes.
• Mention relevant teams or departments.
• Clarify must-have deliverables and constraints.

The more context you share, the better the conversational agent can align output with your real-world needs.

Iterate Instead of Expecting Perfection

Treat each AI response as a draft. Use several rounds of refinement and clarification until the plan or set of tasks fits your expectations.

This conversational approach keeps you in control while leveraging automation to reduce manual planning time.

Keep Workspace Structure Consistent

Decide in advance how AI-generated work should be organized across spaces, folders, and lists. Consistent structure helps your team quickly understand and trust content created through conversational agents.
