How to Use ClickUp AI Chat Step by Step

ClickUp gives you built-in AI chat features that help you plan projects, write content, and automate routine work directly inside your workspace.

This how-to guide walks you through using AI chat features based on workflows similar to the examples shown in the official ClickUp AI solutions page.

Getting Started with ClickUp AI Chat

Before you start, make sure you are familiar with the workspace structure and where AI tools appear in the ClickUp interface.

  1. Open your workspace and navigate to a document, task, or view where AI is available.

  2. Look for an AI or chat icon in the editor toolbar or within task descriptions and comments.

  3. Click the icon to open the AI chat panel or inline AI menu.

Once the panel is open, you can type prompts, select pre-built templates, and refine the responses directly where you work.

Using ClickUp AI for Project Planning

You can use AI chat inside ClickUp docs or tasks to plan projects, map deliverables, and prepare timelines.

Create a Project Outline with ClickUp AI

  1. Open a new doc or task for your project.

  2. Launch the AI chat panel.

  3. Type a clear prompt, for example: “Create a project plan for launching a new SaaS feature, including key milestones and owners.”

  4. Review the generated outline and adjust sections, milestones, or task groupings based on your team’s process.

  5. Convert major sections into task lists or subtasks to begin execution.

The AI-generated outline helps you skip the blank-page phase while still giving you full control over structure and scope.

Turn AI Output into Actionable Tasks in ClickUp

  1. Highlight parts of the AI-generated plan that should become tasks.

  2. Use the context menu or task creation shortcut to turn each item into an individual task or subtask.

  3. Assign an owner, due date, and priority for each task.

  4. Link the tasks back to the original project doc so everyone can trace the plan.

This workflow makes it simple to move from AI planning to structured execution in your workspace.

Writing Content with ClickUp AI

AI chat is especially helpful for drafting and refining marketing copy, blogs, emails, and internal documentation directly inside ClickUp docs.

Draft Long-Form Content Using ClickUp AI

  1. Open a doc where you want to write your article, email sequence, or landing page copy.

  2. Start with a short outline or bullet list describing your topic, audience, and goal.

  3. Select the outline and use the AI menu to expand it into full sections.

  4. Ask AI to adjust tone (for example, more formal, more friendly, or more technical) and length as needed.

  5. Manually edit the result so it matches your brand voice and factual requirements.

By combining your expertise with AI drafting support, you save time without sacrificing accuracy or style.

Improve Existing Text with ClickUp AI

  1. Highlight any paragraph or section that needs improvement.

  2. Open the AI options and choose actions such as “shorten,” “clarify,” or “make more persuasive.”

  3. Compare the original and AI version, then keep, edit, or merge the suggestions.

  4. Run a final pass yourself to ensure it fits your goals and context.

This approach works well for sales emails, support documentation, and internal announcements written in ClickUp.

Using ClickUp AI for Meetings and Notes

Meeting workflows benefit from quick summarization and structured action items generated with AI.

Summarize Meeting Notes in ClickUp

  1. Create a doc or task for the meeting agenda.

  2. Capture notes in real time or paste notes into the doc after the meeting.

  3. Use AI chat to request a summary, for example: “Summarize the key decisions and risks discussed in these notes.”

  4. Insert the summary at the top of the doc for quick reference.

The result is a concise record that makes it easier for stakeholders to catch up and stay aligned.

Create Action Items from Notes with ClickUp AI

  1. Select bullet points or paragraphs that describe follow-up work.

  2. Ask AI to extract and list clear action items with owners and due dates, if known.

  3. Convert each action item into a task within your meeting list or project space.

  4. Tag meeting participants and link the tasks back to the meeting doc.

This method keeps your meeting follow-ups organized and traceable inside your workspace.

ClickUp AI for Support, Product, and Operations

The same AI chat capabilities can streamline work beyond marketing and project management.

Support Teams Using ClickUp AI

  • Turn customer issues into structured tickets with clear problem statements.

  • Summarize long conversations into short internal notes.

  • Draft reply templates that agents can personalize.

Support teams keep context inside tasks while relying on AI to speed up writing and analysis.

Product and Operations with ClickUp AI

  • Generate feature briefs from user feedback.

  • Summarize research documents and discovery notes.

  • Outline standard operating procedures and playbooks.

Using the AI chat across ClickUp docs and tasks helps cross-functional teams stay aligned without moving data into separate tools.

Best Practices for Using ClickUp AI Safely

AI responses should always be treated as drafts or suggestions, not final truth. Follow these practices for reliable outcomes.

  • Provide clear, specific prompts that mention your goals, audience, and constraints.

  • Fact-check all outputs, especially data, claims, and names.

  • Keep sensitive or regulated information out of prompts where possible.

  • Maintain human review for important decisions, compliance-related text, and public content.

Thoughtful prompts and careful review ensure the AI features in your workspace remain both powerful and responsible.
