How to Use the ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome Extension

The ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome extension lets you bring the power of ClickUp Brain directly into your browser so you can summarize content, draft text, and capture context without leaving the page you are viewing.

This step-by-step guide explains how to install the extension, connect it to your workspace, and use its main features to speed up your daily work.

What the ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome Extension Does

The extension gives you AI assistance on top of any page or web app opened in Chrome. It uses your ClickUp Brain capabilities to help you work faster and more accurately.

With the extension you can:

Open a floating AI panel on any web page.
Summarize articles, tickets, or email threads.
Draft and refine emails, replies, and documentation.
Ask questions based on your workspace knowledge.
Copy and paste AI output into any text field.

Because it is tied into your existing workspace, you can keep your research, notes, and insights aligned with the same processes you run in ClickUp.

Requirements for Using ClickUp Brain MAX

Before you begin, make sure you meet these basic requirements to use the extension effectively.

A modern desktop version of Google Chrome.
An active ClickUp account with access to ClickUp Brain MAX features.
Permissions to install browser extensions on your device.

If your organization manages devices centrally, you may need help from your admin to enable browser extensions before you can install the ClickUp tool.

How to Install the ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome Extension

The first step is adding the extension to your browser from the Chrome Web Store.

Open Google Chrome on your computer.
Go to the official ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome extension help section. From there, follow the link to the Chrome Web Store listing.
On the listing page, click Add to Chrome.
Confirm the permissions requested by the extension by clicking Add extension.
Wait a few seconds for Chrome to download and install it. You will see a confirmation message when the process completes.

After it is installed, the ClickUp icon will be available in your Chrome extensions menu, usually found next to the address bar.

Pinning the ClickUp Extension in Chrome

Pinning the extension keeps it visible and easy to access.

In Chrome, click the Extensions icon (the puzzle piece) in the top-right corner.
Find the entry for the ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome extension.
Click the pin icon next to it so the ClickUp logo appears in your main toolbar.

Now you can open the AI panel in one click whenever you are on a web page that you want to analyze or use for drafting content.

Connect the ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome Extension to Your Workspace

To use workspace-aware AI assistance, you need to sign in to your account through the extension.

Click the ClickUp icon in your Chrome toolbar.
In the panel that opens, select Sign in or Log in.
Enter the email and password for your ClickUp account, or use your single sign-on option if available.
Choose the workspace you want to connect if you are a member of more than one.

Once you are signed in, the extension can use your ClickUp Brain MAX capabilities, including workspace knowledge where applicable.

How to Open the ClickUp Brain MAX Panel on a Page

You can open the AI assistant on any tab in Chrome where extensions are allowed.

Navigate to the web page or web app where you want help.
Click the ClickUp icon in your toolbar to open the side panel.
Resize the panel if needed by dragging its edge so it does not block important content.

The panel stays attached to the current tab so you can interact with the page and the assistant at the same time.

Using ClickUp Brain MAX to Summarize Web Pages

One of the most useful features is rapid summarization of content, such as support articles, research pages, and long messages.

Open the web page you want to summarize.
Launch the ClickUp Brain MAX panel from the toolbar.
In the prompt box, type a request such as Summarize this page in a few bullet points or Give me key action items from this article.
Wait a moment while the AI analyzes the visible content.
Review the summary and copy it into your tasks, docs, or messages as needed.

You can refine the response by asking follow-up questions, for example, to focus on pros and cons, timelines, or risks based on the content detected.

Using ClickUp Brain MAX to Draft and Edit Text

The extension can also help you write and improve text in any browser-based editor, such as email, support tools, or online forms.

Draft new content with ClickUp Brain MAX

Open the page where you want to add new text, like a blank email or form.
Open the ClickUp panel and describe what you need, such as Draft a short customer update about our new feature.
Review the generated draft and tweak the tone or length by giving additional instructions.
Copy the final version and paste it into the field where it is needed.

Improve existing text using ClickUp Brain MAX

Select and copy the text you want to improve from the page.
Open the ClickUp Brain MAX panel.
Paste the text into the prompt area and ask for a change, such as Make this clearer and more concise or Rewrite in a friendly but professional tone.
Compare the original with the suggestion and apply the parts you like.

This workflow is especially useful for support replies, sales outreach, and internal status updates that you draft in web tools but still want to enhance with AI.

Ask Workspace-Aware Questions with ClickUp Brain MAX

When enabled for your account, the extension can respond based on workspace information available through ClickUp Brain MAX. This may help you stay aligned with your team’s process while working in the browser.

Typical uses include:

Asking for a quick explanation of a documented process.
Aligning a draft message with existing policies.
Confirming terminology or definitions used in your workspace.

Simply open the extension side panel, sign in if needed, and type your question. The assistant will reply according to the access levels configured for your ClickUp workspace.

Best Practices for Using the ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome Extension

To get consistent, high-quality output from the ClickUp assistant in Chrome, keep these tips in mind:

Be specific in prompts. Explain your audience, goal, and preferred tone when drafting content.
Use short, focused requests. Break complex tasks into smaller prompts to keep responses targeted.
Always review AI output. Check facts, numbers, and sensitive information before sharing externally.
Combine with tasks and docs. After generating summaries or drafts, save them to tasks or documents in your workspace for future reference.

Because the extension works alongside your existing tools, you can gradually add it to your daily routine without changing your full workflow.
