Use ClickUp Brain MAX Home in Chrome

The ClickUp Brain MAX Home view in the Chrome extension lets you search, summarize, and work with your ClickUp tasks and docs directly from your browser, without opening the full web app.

This guide explains how to open Brain MAX Home, understand its layout, and use the main features to speed up your daily workflow.

What is ClickUp Brain MAX Home?

Brain MAX Home is a powerful workspace inside the ClickUp Chrome extension. It brings together search, AI writing, and task context in a single side panel so you can stay focused on your current tab.

From this view, you can:

  • Search across tasks, Docs, and other items in your workspace
  • Summarize existing content with AI
  • Compose new content and responses
  • Copy answers and insert them into websites or tools you are using

All of this runs on top of ClickUp Brain MAX, which is required to access these features in the extension.

Requirements for using ClickUp Brain MAX in Chrome

Before you start, make sure your workspace and browser meet these basic requirements.

Workspace and plan requirements for ClickUp

  • You must be a member of a workspace that has access to ClickUp Brain MAX.
  • Your account needs permission to use Brain MAX features from the extension.
  • If Brain MAX is disabled at the workspace level, you will not see the Brain MAX Home experience.

Browser and extension setup

  1. Install the official ClickUp Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Sign in with your ClickUp account in the extension popup.
  3. Confirm that the extension shows the Brain icon for Brain MAX capabilities.

Open ClickUp Brain MAX Home in the Chrome extension

After installation and sign-in, you can access Brain MAX Home at any time while browsing.

Steps to open the ClickUp panel

  1. Click the ClickUp icon in your Chrome toolbar.
  2. In the extension popup, select the Brain MAX option if it is not already active.
  3. Click the Home tab in the Brain MAX panel to open Brain MAX Home.

The Brain MAX Home view opens as a side panel on the right side of your browser or within the extension popup, depending on your Chrome settings.

Explore the ClickUp Brain MAX Home layout

The Home view in the ClickUp Chrome extension is organized into clear sections that help you work quickly.

Main regions of the Brain MAX Home view

  • Header area: Shows the Brain MAX Home label and may include quick navigation between modes within the extension.
  • Prompt input field: A large text box where you type questions, commands, or requests for ClickUp Brain MAX.
  • Context and mode controls: Options around the input that can adjust how the AI responds or which workspace items it considers.
  • Results area: Displays AI-generated answers, summaries, and links to related tasks or Docs.
  • Action buttons: Buttons to copy, insert, or refine the AI output.

Each part of the interface is designed to keep your content and task data close at hand while you stay inside your current browser tab.

Use ClickUp Brain MAX Home to ask questions

You can use Brain MAX Home in the ClickUp extension as a conversational assistant that understands your workspace.

Ask workspace-aware questions

  1. Open the ClickUp extension and go to Brain MAX Home.
  2. In the prompt field, type a question, such as a status request or policy clarification.
  3. Include keywords that match your tasks or Docs to improve the response.
  4. Press Enter or click the send button to submit the request.

The AI uses data from your ClickUp workspace, along with Brain MAX capabilities, to generate a relevant answer. In many cases, it may show references to tasks or Docs related to your question.

Refine responses from ClickUp Brain MAX

After you receive an answer, you can refine it without leaving the Brain MAX Home view.

  • Ask follow-up questions directly below the previous response.
  • Request alternative formats, such as bullet points or a shorter summary.
  • Use the available buttons to regenerate, expand, or shorten the answer if those controls are shown.

This makes the ClickUp extension useful as a continuous conversation about your work.

Summarize content with ClickUp Brain MAX

Brain MAX Home can summarize long text from tasks, Docs, or web pages you are viewing in Chrome.

Summarize workspace items

  1. Copy text from a task description or Doc in ClickUp.
  2. Open the ClickUp Chrome extension and go to Brain MAX Home.
  3. Paste the text into the prompt field.
  4. Type a command such as “Summarize this” or “Create a brief summary.”
  5. Send the request and review the AI-generated summary.

You can adjust the tone or length of the summary by adding instructions to your prompt.

Summarize web content using the ClickUp extension

When you are on a web page, you can quickly turn it into a summary from the same Brain MAX Home view.

  1. Select and copy the text you want summarized.
  2. Open the ClickUp extension.
  3. Paste the copied content into Brain MAX Home.
  4. Ask for a concise or detailed summary based on your needs.

The summarized result can then be used in tasks, messages, or other tools.

Draft content with ClickUp Brain MAX Home

The Brain MAX Home experience in the ClickUp Chrome extension is also a writing assistant.

Create new content

  1. Open Brain MAX Home from the ClickUp icon in Chrome.
  2. Type a request such as “Draft an email to a client about a project update.”
  3. Include details like deadlines, milestones, or task names to make the response more accurate.
  4. Send the request to generate the first draft.

You can then iterate by asking the AI to change tone, fix grammar, or make the draft shorter or longer.

Insert responses into other tools

Once Brain MAX Home produces content, you can move it into forms, emails, or any other field in your browser.

  • Use the copy button in the ClickUp extension to copy the AI response to your clipboard.
  • Paste the content into your email client, CRM, chat tool, or a ClickUp task description.
  • Make final manual edits as needed before sending or saving.

This workflow lets you quickly create high-quality text while staying in the same tab.

Manage recent prompts in ClickUp Brain MAX Home

The Brain MAX Home interface keeps track of your recent prompts so you can revisit previous answers.

Review and reuse prompts

  • Scroll within the Home view to see recent conversations.
  • Click a previous prompt to re-open its responses and context.
  • Copy parts of an older answer into a new conversation or into another tool.

This history helps you maintain continuity in your ClickUp workflows without repeating the same questions.
