Using ClickUp Brain MAX on Any Web Page

Open the ClickUp Brain MAX Sidebar

To open the main assistant sidebar while browsing:

2. Click the extension icon in the Chrome toolbar.

The sidebar opens on the right and gives you access to ClickUp Brain tools similar to what you see in the main ClickUp interface.

You can trigger the assistant from any selected text on a page:

1. Highlight the text you want to work with.
2. Right-click the selection.
3. Choose the Brain MAX option from the context menu.

Depending on the page and your selection, you can quickly summarize, rewrite, or use the text in a new ClickUp task.

How to Summarize Content With ClickUp

The extension makes it simple to summarize long articles, emails, or documents and bring those summaries into ClickUp.

Summarize an Entire Page

1. Open the page you want to summarize.
2. Click the floating Brain MAX icon to open the sidebar.
3. Choose the option to summarize the current page.
4. Review the generated summary in the sidebar.
5. Optionally, copy the summary or send it to a ClickUp task or document.

This is useful for quickly understanding long resources before documenting key points in ClickUp.

Summarize Selected Text

2. Right-click and select the Brain MAX summarize option.
3. View the summary in the sidebar or small pop-up.
4. Copy or insert the summary into a relevant ClickUp item.

Summarizing excerpts helps you keep ClickUp tasks or notes concise while still capturing important details from the source page.

Draft Replies and Content Using ClickUp Brain MAX

You can also use the extension as a writing assistant to draft emails, messages, and other content while you browse.

Draft a Reply From a Web Page

1. Open the page or app where you need to respond, such as webmail or a support tool.
2. Highlight the incoming message if needed so the context is clear.
3. Use the Brain MAX context menu or sidebar to ask for a drafted reply.
4. Review the suggested response, adjust the tone or details, and then paste it into your reply field.

This workflow lets you use ClickUp Brain style assistance without switching back to the full ClickUp app.

Generate New Content From Prompts

You can also start from scratch:

1. Open the Brain MAX sidebar.
2. Enter a prompt describing what you need: for example, meeting agenda, social post, or short summary.
3. Let the assistant generate content.
4. Copy the result or send it directly into a ClickUp task, doc, or comment.

Using prompts with the extension provides the same flexible creation experience you are used to in ClickUp Brain.

The extension will send the new task directly to your ClickUp workspace with the context you provided, reducing manual copying and pasting.
