How to Use the ClickUp Cross-Platform Compatibility Checker
The ClickUp Cross-Platform Compatibility Checker AI Agent helps you quickly verify how your apps, websites, and digital products behave across devices, browsers, and operating systems inside ClickUp tasks and docs.
This step-by-step guide shows you how to access the agent, prepare your prompts, and interpret its results so you can streamline testing and improve release quality.
What the ClickUp Cross-Platform Compatibility Checker Does
This AI Agent is designed to simulate cross-platform testing scenarios and highlight potential issues before your users find them. It is ideal for QA specialists, developers, and product managers who need fast compatibility insights without leaving their workspace.
Using this tool, you can:
- Evaluate how features perform on different operating systems
- Compare behaviors across mobile, tablet, and desktop
- Check for browser-specific glitches or layout issues
- Identify configuration gaps in your test coverage
- Create structured test plans for future regression cycles
How to Access the AI Agent in ClickUp
The Cross-Platform Compatibility Checker is available as an AI Agent within the platform. To start using it, follow these steps:
Step 1: Open your workspace
Navigate to your workspace and open the task, doc, or space where you manage testing or release work. Make sure you are in the location where you want to store the compatibility findings.
Step 2: Locate AI features in ClickUp
Use the AI controls available in your workspace. Depending on your setup, you can access AI from:
- The task view sidebar or toolbar
- The doc editor toolbar
- The command menu for AI-powered assistants
Select the option that opens the AI Agents catalog or panel.
Step 3: Select the Cross-Platform Compatibility Checker
From the AI Agents list, choose the Cross-Platform Compatibility Checker. This loads a dedicated context where you can describe your app, target platforms, and specific testing goals.
Once selected, the agent becomes available for use directly within your current task or document, so the output stays close to your work.
Preparing Effective Prompts for ClickUp AI
Clear input produces more accurate compatibility guidance. Before you start, gather some basic information about your product and target environment.
Key details to include
When you prompt the agent, describe:
- Product type: Web app, mobile app, desktop app, or responsive website
- Core user flows: Examples such as sign-up, login, checkout, data entry, or dashboard usage
- Target devices: Phone, tablet, laptop, and large desktop screens
- Operating systems: Windows, macOS, Android, iOS, Linux, or others you support
- Browsers: Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge, and any additional browsers important to your audience
The more specific your description, the more tailored the compatibility checklist and recommendations will be.
Example prompts for the AI Agent
Here are example prompts you can adapt directly inside your workspace:
- “Analyze our responsive marketing website for layout issues across Chrome, Safari, and Firefox on Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS tablets and phones.”
- “Create a cross-platform test plan for our React-based web application focusing on user login, profile editing, and payments across major desktop browsers.”
- “List likely compatibility risks for a new mobile-first dashboard when viewed on small Android devices and older iOS versions.”
Running a Cross-Platform Check in ClickUp
When you are ready, run the compatibility check by submitting your prompt to the AI Agent.
Step 1: Describe your scenario
In the AI sidebar or chat box, enter a concise description of your app and the platforms you want to test. Be sure to include:
- Technical stack details (if relevant)
- Any known issues you want re-validated
- Priorities such as performance, layout, or accessibility
Step 2: Request structured output
Ask the agent to format its response in a way that is easy to track inside your workspace. Helpful formats include:
- Numbered lists of test cases
- Bullet lists of potential issues per platform
- Tables summarizing platforms, browsers, and risk levels
For example, you can ask: “Provide a table of platforms, browsers, and associated risk areas, plus a bulleted list of recommended test cases.”
Step 3: Refine with follow-up questions
After the initial response, use follow-up prompts to deepen analysis, such as:
- “Expand on potential CSS issues for Safari on iOS.”
- “Add more test cases for low bandwidth and offline behavior.”
- “Prioritize issues based on user impact for first-time visitors.”
This iterative use of the AI Agent helps you converge on a practical, actionable compatibility plan.
Interpreting and Using AI Results in ClickUp
Once you have generated the compatibility findings, convert them into concrete work inside your workspace so they can be tracked and resolved.
Create tasks from compatibility issues
Review the list of potential issues and turn them into actionable items by:
- Creating individual tasks for high-impact defects or risks
- Grouping related issues into subtasks under a single parent ticket
- Adding labels or custom fields for platform and browser
This structure makes it easy for developers and testers to filter and prioritize their work.
Attach results to key workflows
Store AI outputs where teams naturally collaborate:
- Attach the compatibility summary to your release readiness task
- Embed the generated test plan in your QA or regression cycle docs
- Link compatibility findings to epics or sprints for ongoing tracking
Centralizing the insights ensures product, design, and engineering stay aligned on platform coverage expectations.
Best Practices for Reliable Cross-Platform Testing
The AI Agent accelerates planning, but it works best when you combine it with solid testing practices.
Align on supported platforms early
Before major feature work begins, define a clear support matrix that lists:
- Primary operating systems and versions
- Priority browsers with minimum supported versions
- Target device classes (mobile, tablet, desktop, and specific resolutions)
Use the AI Agent to validate whether your support matrix covers typical user environments or if you should expand it.
Keep prompts updated as your app evolves
Whenever you ship new features, update the prompts you use so the agent’s suggestions stay aligned with your latest capabilities. Mention:
- New modules or UI components
- Framework or library upgrades
- Platform-specific optimizations you recently introduced
Re-run compatibility checks around each significant release to catch regressions early.
Combine AI guidance with real device testing
The compatibility checker offers structured guidance and risk identification, but it should complement—not replace—hands-on testing. Use the AI plans to focus manual and automated tests on the highest-risk combinations.
