How to Use ClickUp AI on iOS: Step-by-Step Guide

ClickUp makes it easy to combine powerful task management with AI assistance on your iPhone or iPad so you can capture ideas, organize projects, and draft content from anywhere.

This how-to guide walks you through using AI features in the ClickUp iOS experience, inspired by the capabilities highlighted in the ClickUp AI for iOS overview.

1. Get Started with ClickUp on iOS

Before you can use AI features, you need the ClickUp mobile app running on your iOS device.

Step 1: Install the ClickUp app

  1. Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Search for ClickUp.
  3. Tap Get (or the cloud download icon) to install.
  4. Wait for installation to complete, then tap Open.

Step 2: Sign in or create a workspace

  1. Launch the app and sign in with your existing account, or tap Sign Up to create one.
  2. Create or join a workspace where you will manage your tasks and documents.
  3. Complete any on-screen onboarding so ClickUp can tailor the experience to your role and workflow.

2. Understand What ClickUp AI Can Do on iOS

The ClickUp AI experience on iOS is designed to help you work faster inside your workspace instead of switching between many separate AI tools.

On mobile, the AI capabilities are especially helpful for:

  • Summarizing long task descriptions and project docs
  • Drafting content like emails, briefs, or meeting notes
  • Improving or rephrasing existing text while you are on the go
  • Generating checklists or action items from simple prompts

The desktop-level features described in the ClickUp AI roundup are adapted so you can still get guidance and writing help directly from your iOS device.

3. Enable and Access ClickUp AI Features

Exact screens can vary based on your plan and app version, but the general flow to turn on AI and access it in ClickUp is consistent.

Step 1: Check your ClickUp plan

  1. Open the app and go to your profile or settings menu.
  2. Review your workspace plan details to confirm whether AI is included or available as an add-on.
  3. If needed, talk with your workspace admin about enabling AI so you can use it on iOS and desktop.

Step 2: Locate AI inside ClickUp

Once AI is enabled in your workspace, you will see AI entry points within everyday ClickUp workflows.

  • Inside tasks with rich text descriptions
  • In Docs where you create content or notes
  • In comments or updates that support text formatting

Look for an AI icon, a wand icon, or contextual buttons that trigger an AI action when you are editing text on your iOS device.

4. Use ClickUp AI in Tasks on iOS

You can use AI right inside your tasks to refine ideas, write faster, and keep your projects organized.

Step-by-step: Draft a task description with AI

  1. Open the ClickUp app on your iOS device.
  2. Navigate to the list or board where you want to add a task.
  3. Tap the + button to create a new task.
  4. Give your task a clear title.
  5. Tap the description field to start editing.
  6. Look for the AI or wand icon near the text toolbar.
  7. Tap the icon and choose a prompt, such as:
    • “Draft a task description from this title.”
    • “Generate a checklist of steps.”
    • “Summarize this information.”
  8. Review the suggested text and edit it to match your exact needs.
  9. Tap Save or close the editor to update the task.

Step-by-step: Improve existing text with ClickUp AI

  1. Open an existing task in ClickUp on iOS.
  2. Tap into the description field to edit.
  3. Select the paragraph or section you want to improve.
  4. Tap the AI button to reveal available actions.
  5. Use options like:
    • Rephrase to make the text clearer.
    • Shorten to create concise task summaries.
    • Expand to add detail or context.
  6. Compare the AI suggestion with your original text.
  7. Accept, partially accept, or refine the suggestion before saving.

5. Use ClickUp AI in Docs and Notes on iOS

Docs in ClickUp become more powerful when combined with AI-generated content, especially if you work on meeting notes, briefs, or knowledge bases from your iPhone or iPad.

Step-by-step: Create a Doc with AI support

  1. Open ClickUp and go to the Docs section or any space where Docs are stored.
  2. Tap New Doc.
  3. Enter a working title, such as “Project Brief” or “Meeting Notes”.
  4. Tap in the body of the Doc to open the editor.
  5. Use the AI button to:
    • Generate an outline based on a short prompt.
    • Draft full sections of content, like an introduction or summary.
    • Convert bullet points into structured paragraphs.
  6. Refine and format the content with headings, lists, and callouts.

Step-by-step: Summarize content with ClickUp AI

  1. Open a long Doc inside ClickUp on your iOS device.
  2. Scroll to the top or bottom, or select the text you want summarized.
  3. Tap the AI option in the editor toolbar.
  4. Choose a summarization prompt, such as “Summarize this Doc.”
  5. Review the summary and paste it into a recap section or a related task.

6. Best Practices for Using ClickUp AI on iOS

To get consistent results from AI while keeping your workspace organized, follow these best practices whenever you use ClickUp features on your phone or tablet.

Write clear prompts

  • Explain what you want in one or two concise sentences.
  • Mention the type of output you need, such as a checklist, email, or summary.
  • Include any constraints, like word count or tone.

Always review AI suggestions

  • Treat AI output as a draft, not final copy.
  • Edit for accuracy, clarity, and alignment with your team’s standards.
  • Remove any sensitive data that should not be stored in a task or Doc.

Connect mobile work with your full ClickUp setup

  • Use your iOS device to capture ideas, create tasks, and draft content with AI.
  • Switch to desktop later to do deeper planning, reporting, or advanced automation.
  • Keep naming conventions and folder structures consistent between mobile and desktop.

7. Troubleshooting ClickUp AI on iOS

If you run into issues using AI inside ClickUp on your iPhone or iPad, try these quick checks before escalating to workspace admins.

  • AI options not visible: Confirm your workspace plan includes AI and that you are on the latest app version.
  • Slow responses: Check your internet connection and try again on a stronger network.
  • Unexpected results: Rewrite your prompt to be more specific, then run AI again.

8. Next Steps to Master ClickUp AI

Once you are comfortable using AI inside tasks and Docs, explore more advanced workflows across your ClickUp workspace.

  • Standardize AI-powered templates for recurring docs and tasks.
  • Create mobile-friendly views so important AI-generated summaries are easy to find.
  • Train your team on consistent prompting and review practices.
