ClickUp makes it easy to tap into your saved AI knowledge while working on the go by using Brain mentions directly from the mobile app. With a simple command, you can quickly insert saved answers into comments, task details, and other collaborative spaces right from your phone or tablet.

This guide explains how to set up and use Brain mentions on mobile so your team can reuse important information without switching tools or rewriting the same answers.

What Are Brain Mentions in ClickUp?

Brain mentions are a way to pull information from your Brain answers into your workspace content. When you mention Brain, you can search your existing answers and insert them where you are typing.

On mobile devices, Brain mentions help you:

• Reuse key information without retyping it.
• Keep responses consistent across tasks and conversations.
• Access your Brain answers while away from your desktop.

Once Brain is enabled in your workspace, you can use it in supported locations across the ClickUp mobile app.
