How to Create a Report with the ClickUp AI Agent
Once the feature is available in your workspace, follow these general steps to create a report.
Step 1: Define Your Reporting Goal in ClickUp
Start by deciding what you want the report to answer. Clear goals will guide the agent toward useful results.
Common goals include:
- Weekly project status for leadership.
- Team workload overview.
- Task completion trends for a specific period.
- Overdue items and at-risk work.
Write a short prompt describing the goal, including the timeframe and which teams or Spaces should be included.
Step 2: Select Data Sources in Your ClickUp Workspace
The Report Creation AI agent can analyze different levels of your ClickUp hierarchy.
Typical selections include:
- Entire Spaces for department-level reporting.
- Folders for project portfolios.
- Lists for individual projects or sprints.
Ensure you choose the parts of ClickUp that actually contain the work you want to measure.
Step 3: Configure Report Parameters
With your data sources selected, adjust the main parameters that shape the report.
Depending on your configuration, you can typically set:
- Date ranges such as this week, this month, or a custom period.
- Filters for status, assignee, priority, or tags.
- Grouping rules such as by assignee, status, or List.
- Output style like detailed breakdown or high-level summary.
These options ensure the ClickUp AI agent focuses on the most relevant data and presents it in a format your audience can understand.
Step 4: Generate the Report with ClickUp AI
After your parameters are ready, ask the agent to generate the report.
- Review your prompt and selections.
- Confirm filters and date range.
- Run the Report Creation AI agent.
The agent will process the data from your ClickUp workspace and return a structured result, which may include written summaries, key metrics, and organized sections.
Step 5: Refine and Customize the Report
The first version of the report is often a draft. You can refine it by adjusting prompts or parameters.
Ways to improve the output include:
- Asking the agent to simplify technical language for non-technical audiences.
- Requesting more detail for specific teams or projects.
- Highlighting blockers, dependencies, or overdue tasks.
- Adding or removing sections based on stakeholder feedback.
Iterate until the report clearly communicates the story behind your ClickUp data.
Sharing and Exporting Reports from ClickUp
After you are satisfied with the AI-generated report, choose how you want to share it with your team or leadership.
Share Inside Your ClickUp Workspace
Internal sharing options usually include:
- Posting the report to a relevant List or Doc.
- Mentioning teammates for review or approval.
- Saving the configuration so reports can be refreshed on a schedule.
Keeping reports inside ClickUp ensures everyone sees the same source of truth.
Export or Present the Report
For stakeholders who do not work directly in ClickUp, you may export or present the results.
Common approaches:
- Copying text summaries into slide decks or documents.
- Exporting tables or lists of tasks for further analysis.
- Using the AI-generated narrative as speaking notes for live presentations.
This lets you benefit from the AI analysis while still using your preferred communication formats.
