How to Use ClickUp for Web Development With AI Agents
The ClickUp AI Web Development Agent helps you manage the full website lifecycle, from discovery to launch and optimization. This guide shows you how to set up workflows, automate tasks, and collaborate with your team using ready-made tools.
What You Need Before Using ClickUp for Web Projects
Before you start building a web development workflow, make sure you have:
- An active workspace in ClickUp
- Access to AI features and the Web Development AI Agent template
- Your team members invited and assigned to the right Spaces
- A clear idea of your website goals and scope
Once these basics are in place, you are ready to implement a structured web development process powered by ClickUp automation and AI prompts.

This Space becomes the central hub for your project plans, backlogs, and documentation.
Add Folders and Lists for Each Web Project
Next, structure your work so that every website or product has its own area.
- Create a Folder for each client or website (for example, Marketing Site Redesign).
- Inside each Folder, add Lists for key phases, such as:
- Discovery & Research
- Information Architecture
- Design System & UI
- Frontend Development

Plan Your Website Using ClickUp Docs and Tasks
Effective planning is essential for a successful site launch. Use collaborative Docs and connected tasks to bring strategy and execution together.
Capture Research and Strategy in ClickUp Docs
- Create a Doc called Project Brief in your web project Folder.
- Use sections for goals, audience, competitive analysis, and success metrics.
- Invoke the AI Web Development Agent from the Doc to:
- Refine your problem statement
- Summarize long research notes
- Generate user stories or personas
- Link this Doc to your main planning tasks so everyone can find it.
Docs stay fully connected to tasks and Lists, giving your team a single source of truth inside ClickUp.
Turn Requirements Into Tasks in ClickUp
- From your requirements Doc, highlight a list of features.
- Convert highlights into tasks or subtasks in ClickUp.
- Apply a task template for web features, including fields like:
- Component or page
- Acceptance criteria
- Estimated effort
- Owner and due date
- Use the AI agent to suggest missing steps or edge cases for each task.
This ensures that all key requirements become actionable work units that are easy to track.

Once planning is complete, you can organize design and development work into sprints or phases.
Set Up Design Workflows in ClickUp
- Create a List named Design or UI & UX.
- Add statuses such as Backlog, In Design, Review, and Approved in ClickUp.
- Create tasks for pages, templates, and components.
- Attach design links or files to each task and use comments for feedback.
- Use the AI agent to generate copy drafts, UX notes, or design rationale in task descriptions.
Designers and stakeholders can collaborate asynchronously, with everything tracked in one visual workflow.
Run Development Sprints in ClickUp
- Create a List called Development with engineering-focused statuses.
- Group tasks into sprints using custom fields or sprint Lists.
- Use subtasks for frontend, backend, and integration work.

Quality assurance and continuous improvement are essential parts of the web lifecycle. You can coordinate both inside your workspace.
Create QA Workflows in ClickUp
- Create a QA & Testing List.
- Build tasks for each feature, page, or device group.
- Ask the AI agent to generate test case outlines based on feature descriptions.
- Assign testers, add checklists, and track defects as linked tasks.
