How to Use ClickUp AI for Copywriting
ClickUp offers powerful AI features that help you plan, write, and improve copy directly inside your workspaces. This step-by-step guide shows you exactly how to set up ClickUp AI for copywriting and use it to create high-quality content faster.
What You Need Before Using ClickUp AI
Before you start writing with AI, make sure your workspace is ready. You will need:
- An active ClickUp account
- Owner or admin access to enable AI at the workspace level
- A paid plan or AI add-on, depending on your pricing tier
Once those pieces are in place, you can turn on the AI features and start using them across tasks, Docs, and other work items.
How to Enable ClickUp AI in Your Workspace
To enable AI, follow these steps in your workspace settings:
- Sign in to your ClickUp account.
- Open your workspace settings from the sidebar.
- Navigate to the AI or Add-ons section (depending on your plan layout).
- Turn on the AI features for your workspace.
- Choose the members or teams that should have access.
- Save your settings to apply AI across tasks and Docs.
After you enable AI globally, your team will see AI options anywhere they write content, such as in task descriptions, comments, and documents.
Where You Can Use ClickUp AI for Copywriting
AI copywriting tools appear in several parts of the platform, so you can keep work in context instead of switching apps.
Using ClickUp AI in Docs
Docs are ideal for long-form copy such as landing pages, emails, and blog drafts. To start:
- Create or open a Doc in your ClickUp workspace.
- Place your cursor where you want AI to write.
- Click the AI icon or use the available shortcut to open the prompt field.
- Select a copywriting template or enter a custom prompt.
- Generate content and insert it into the Doc.
You can then edit, format, and organize your Doc with the usual tools while keeping AI-generated and human-written content together.
Using ClickUp AI in Task Descriptions
Tasks often need short, clear copy for descriptions, user stories, or acceptance criteria. To use AI inside a task:
- Open a task in your ClickUp workspace.
- Click into the description field.
- Open the AI panel or toolbar.
- Choose a template such as summary, outline, or description improvement.
- Review the generated copy and adjust it for your use case.
This approach keeps your writing tied to specific work items, which is especially helpful for product specs, briefs, and short instructions.
How to Use ClickUp AI Copywriting Templates
The platform provides pre-built copywriting templates so you can get started faster without crafting every prompt from scratch.
Choosing the Right ClickUp AI Template
Different templates are built for different goals. Common options include:
- Blog outlines for structuring long-form content
- Landing page copy for value propositions and section texts
- Email drafts for campaigns, outreach, and follow-ups
- Social posts for multiple channels with varied tone
- Product descriptions for clear feature and benefit summaries
To use a template:
- Open AI inside a Doc or task.
- Browse or search the copywriting templates.
- Select the template that matches your goal.
- Fill in details like audience, angle, and objective.
- Generate the copy and refine it in context.
Customizing ClickUp AI for Your Brand Voice
To keep copy consistent, you can guide AI with brand details. When you write prompts or fill in template fields, include information like:
- Brand tone (for example: friendly, expert, or bold)
- Target audience and industry
- Key benefits or differentiators
- Words or phrases to use or avoid
Saving example Docs or reference notes in your workspace can also help your team reuse the same direction whenever they open AI.
Writing High-Quality Copy with ClickUp AI Prompts
Strong prompts lead to better copy. You can adapt these approaches to your projects and tasks.
Prompting ClickUp AI for First Drafts
For a new piece of content, give AI clear instructions. A simple structure is:
- Goal: what the copy should achieve
- Format: blog, email, ad, script, or description
- Audience: who will read it
- Key points: features, benefits, or call to action
Example prompt for a first draft in a Doc:
“Write a 700-word blog post for marketers explaining how to streamline campaign planning. Use a confident but friendly tone and include a clear call to action at the end.”
Once AI generates the draft, you can continue asking for revisions directly in the same Doc or task.
Using ClickUp AI to Improve Existing Copy
AI is also useful for editing and polishing what you already wrote. Inside a Doc or description, you can:
- Select a paragraph or section of text.
- Open AI and choose an edit option (improve, shorten, expand, or rephrase).
- Review the suggestions and accept or modify them.
Common use cases include:
- Clarifying long sentences
- Making technical text more readable
- Adjusting tone for different audiences
- Shortening copy for limited spaces, such as ads
Collaborating on Copy Inside ClickUp
One benefit of writing where you work is that collaboration happens in real time, alongside tasks and projects.
Comments and Suggestions on AI-Generated Text
After AI produces copy, teammates can:
- Leave comments in Docs or on tasks
- Highlight specific sentences and request changes
- Assign comments to owners with due dates
- Track edits over time using document history
This means your team can treat AI-generated content like any other asset, review it, and finalize it together.
Managing Copywriting Workflows in ClickUp
You can also build full workflows around your writing process, including:
- Statuses for drafting, review, and approval
- Custom fields for content type, owner, and due date
- Views for calendar, list, or board-style content planning
- Automation rules to notify reviewers when a draft is ready
By combining these features with AI, you keep every piece of copy linked to a task and a clear owner.
Using External Resources with ClickUp
While the built-in AI tools handle drafting and editing, you may want additional strategic or implementation support. You can partner with optimization specialists at Consultevo to build advanced workflows, templates, and content operations that align with your workspace structure.
