How to Search Using the ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome Extension

The ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome extension lets you search any webpage and your work in ClickUp at the same time, so you can quickly find answers, summarize content, and draft new text without leaving your browser.

This guide explains how to install the extension, connect it to your workspace, run searches, customize settings, and understand data privacy and limits.

What the ClickUp Brain MAX Extension Does

The ClickUp Brain MAX extension adds an AI-powered search and writing assistant directly to Chrome. It combines information from the page you are viewing with your work in ClickUp, including:

• Tasks and subtasks you can access
• Docs and pages you have permission to view
• Whiteboards and content created with ClickUp Brain
• Relevant context from the current webpage

You can ask questions, generate summaries, or create new content while staying in your browser tab.

Requirements to Use ClickUp Brain MAX

Before you start, make sure your account and workspace meet these requirements:

• You have a ClickUp account.
• You belong to a workspace with ClickUp Brain enabled.
• You use the Chrome browser or a Chromium-based browser that supports Chrome extensions.

Enterprise workspaces can also configure a private model to keep Brain interactions fully isolated from public models.

How to Install the ClickUp Brain MAX Chrome Extension

Follow these steps to install the extension and connect it to your workspace:

1. Open the ClickUp Brain MAX extension page or visit the Chrome Web Store and search for “Brain MAX”.

2. Click Add to Chrome, then confirm to install the extension.

3. After installation, open a new tab. You should see the Brain MAX icon in your Chrome toolbar.

4. Click the Brain MAX icon. When prompted, sign in to your ClickUp account.

5. Select the workspace you want to connect. The extension will use this workspace to search tasks, Docs, and other items you can access.

Once connected, the ClickUp Brain MAX extension is ready to use on any webpage.

How to Open ClickUp Brain MAX on a Webpage

You can open the extension on any page you are viewing in Chrome:

1. Navigate to the webpage you want to analyze or search.

2. Click the Brain MAX icon in the Chrome toolbar.

3. A side panel opens on the right side of your browser, showing the ClickUp Brain assistant.

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

How to Search a Webpage and ClickUp Together

Use the ClickUp Brain MAX panel to search both the current page and your workspace content at once.

Run a combined search with ClickUp Brain MAX

1. Open a webpage and launch the extension panel.

2. In the prompt field, type a question or request, such as:

   • “Summarize this article and find related tasks in ClickUp.”
   • “What are the deadlines related to this topic in my workspace?”
   • “Draft an email based on this page and my meeting notes Doc.”

3. Press Enter or click the send button.

4. Brain MAX analyzes the visible page content and searches your accessible work in ClickUp.

5. Review the response, which may include:

   • Summaries of the current page
   • References to tasks, Docs, or other items with quick links
   • Suggested next steps or drafted content

You can refine your request with follow-up questions in the same thread. The assistant keeps context from both the webpage and your ClickUp content during the conversation.

Tips for better results with ClickUp Brain MAX

• Use clear, specific questions such as “Compare this pricing page to my proposal Doc” instead of very broad prompts.
• Mention the type of ClickUp items you need, for example, “Find related tasks and Docs”.
• If you change to a different webpage, start a new chat for the most accurate context.

Using ClickUp Brain MAX as a Writing Assistant

The ClickUp Brain MAX extension can also help you write and edit content based on the page you are viewing and data from your workspace.

Generate new content with ClickUp Brain

1. Open the page where you want to use the content as context, such as a news article, internal wiki, or product page.

2. Launch the ClickUp Brain MAX panel.

3. Ask Brain to create content, for example:

   • “Write a summary I can paste into a ClickUp task description.”
   • “Draft a customer email based on this page and my support ticket Doc.”
   • “Turn this article into bullet points for a ClickUp Doc outline.”

4. Copy the generated content and paste it into your desired location, such as a new task, Doc, or email.

Edit and improve text with ClickUp Brain MAX

1. Select text on the webpage or in another app where copying is allowed.

2. Copy the text and paste it into the Brain MAX chat.

3. Ask Brain to improve, shorten, or rephrase it, for example:

   • “Improve clarity and make this more concise.”
   • “Rewrite this paragraph in a professional tone for ClickUp Docs.”

4. Use the revised version in your ClickUp tasks, Docs, or messages.
