How to Run AI-Powered Meetings in ClickUp

ClickUp makes it possible to run faster, more focused meetings powered by AI so your team can capture notes, decisions, and action items with less manual work. This guide walks you through a practical, repeatable workflow to manage every phase of your meetings with AI assistance.

Why Use ClickUp for AI Meeting Management

Before you set up your process, it helps to understand what an AI meeting agent can do inside your workspace. When connected to your tools, an AI meeting assistant can:

• Generate agendas from your project context
• Summarize long discussions into key decisions
• Extract and assign action items automatically
• Update tasks and documentation after the meeting

Using a structured workflow in ClickUp lets you plug AI into each step, instead of treating it as a one-off chatbot.

Step 1: Prepare Your Meeting Workspace in ClickUp

Start by organizing a dedicated space or folder so every meeting has a consistent home and structure.

Set Up a Meetings Space in ClickUp

1. Create a new Space named something like Meetings & Rituals.
2. Add a Folder for each major team or project, such as Product Meetings or Client Reviews.
3. Inside each Folder, create a List called Meeting Notes to store individual meeting docs or tasks.

This structure keeps all notes, replays, and summaries organized, making it easier for AI tools to pull context.

Create Standard Meeting Templates in ClickUp

Templates ensure that every session follows the same format, which makes AI-generated content more reliable.

1. Open a new Doc or task inside your Meeting Notes List.
2. Design a layout with sections such as:
   • Meeting details (date, time, attendees)
   • Objectives
   • Agenda
   • Discussion notes
   • Decisions
   • Action items
3. Save it as a template so your team can reuse it for recurring meetings.

Repeat this for different meeting types like 1:1s, sprint planning, and client check-ins.

Step 2: Use AI to Plan Better Meetings in ClickUp

Well-structured meetings start with a focused agenda. Instead of writing it from scratch, you can use AI to build it using existing work data.

Generate Smart Agendas from Tasks

Once your projects and tasks are organized, you can ask your AI assistant to create an agenda based on what changed since the last meeting. Typical prompts include:

• “Create a status review agenda from tasks updated this week.”
• “Summarize blockers from high-priority tasks for our standup.”
• “Draft a client review agenda using open items in this List.”

Paste the generated agenda into your ClickUp meeting template and adjust the order or timing as needed.

Share Agendas in Advance in ClickUp

To keep everyone aligned before you meet:

1. Share the meeting Doc or task with all attendees.
2. Mention key stakeholders in comments and ask for topics or questions.
3. Use custom fields to tag meeting type, priority, and owner.

Arriving with a clear, AI-assisted agenda reduces time wasted and keeps conversations on track.

Step 3: Capture Live Notes and Decisions in ClickUp

During the meeting, you want a single source of truth for everything discussed. ClickUp offers flexible ways to capture this information.

Take Structured Notes in ClickUp Docs

Open your meeting Doc and use the template sections to guide your note-taking:

• Fill in attendees and objectives at the top.
• Under each agenda item, jot down bullet-point notes.
• Highlight clear decisions as you go.

Because the structure is consistent, AI tools can later identify decisions and tasks more accurately.

Record and Transcribe Meetings for AI Use

If you use a meeting recording tool that integrates with your workflows, you can store transcripts or summary links directly inside ClickUp:

1. Add a link to the recording or transcript in the meeting Doc.
2. Attach relevant files to the associated meeting task.
3. Use AI to scan the transcript and generate key takeaways.

Keeping all artifacts inside your workspace lets your AI agent reference them for future summaries and reports.

Step 4: Turn Discussions into Action Items in ClickUp

After each session, convert outcomes into clear tasks so nothing is lost once people leave the call.

Create and Assign Tasks from Meeting Notes

From your Doc or meeting task:

1. List each action item as a bullet with the owner, due date, and context.
2. Create new tasks directly from those bullets and assign them to the right person.
3. Link each task back to the meeting note so context is always available.

For example, a decision to ship a feature can immediately become a task with subtasks, assignees, and deadlines without copying information between tools.

Use AI to Extract Action Items in ClickUp

Instead of manually searching through dense notes or transcripts, you can ask your AI assistant to:

• Identify all action items mentioned during the meeting
• Group them by owner or due date
• Generate short task titles and descriptions

Copy the generated list into ClickUp and convert each bullet into a task. This dramatically reduces the time between conversation and execution.

Step 5: Automate Follow-Up and Reporting in ClickUp

Meetings only create value when follow-through happens. Automations help maintain momentum and visibility.

Automate Reminders and Status Updates

Configure workflows so your meeting tasks and Docs trigger follow-up steps:

• Send reminders to task owners before due dates.
• Move tasks to a “Ready for Review” status when work is submitted.
• Notify stakeholders in a shared channel when key milestones are completed.

These automations keep outcomes visible without extra admin work.

Generate Recurring Summaries with ClickUp Data

At the end of a week or sprint, use your AI assistant to summarize what happened across multiple meetings:

• List completed action items linked to meeting notes.
• Highlight unresolved decisions and risks.
• Provide a concise update for leaders or clients.

You can store these summaries in a separate reporting List in ClickUp for easy reference and historical tracking.

Step 6: Improve Your AI Meeting Workflow in ClickUp

Once the basics are running smoothly, refine your process to get even more value from your AI meeting setup.

Standardize Prompts and Templates

Create a shared library of prompts for your team to use consistently, such as:

• Agenda creation prompts by meeting type
• Action item extraction prompts
• Post-meeting recap prompts

Store these prompts in Docs or task descriptions inside ClickUp so anyone can access and reuse them.

Monitor Outcomes and Iterate

To keep improving your meeting system, regularly review:

• How quickly action items are completed after meetings
• Whether decisions are clearly documented and easy to find
• Which templates or prompts yield the best AI results

Adjust your templates, automations, and prompts based on this feedback. Over time, your ClickUp meeting workflows will feel more like a coordinated AI-powered system and less like a series of disconnected tools.
