How to Draft a Speech with ClickUp AI Agents

ClickUp gives you built-in AI Agents that can draft clear, engaging speeches in minutes, so you can focus on your message instead of starting from a blank page.

This how-to guide walks you step by step through using the Speech Drafting AI Agent, from opening the workspace to refining and exporting your final script.

What You Need Before Using ClickUp Speech Drafting

Before you begin, make sure you have access to the AI features in your workspace.

An active ClickUp workspace with AI enabled
Permission to use AI tools within that workspace
Your basic speech details: topic, audience, length, and tone

Having these ready lets the Speech Drafting AI Agent generate a targeted draft that needs minimal editing.

Accessing the Speech Drafting AI Agent in ClickUp

The Speech Drafting AI Agent lives inside the AI features of your workspace. Follow these steps to open it.

Open your workspace. Log in to your ClickUp account and navigate to the Space, Folder, or List where you keep presentation materials.
Create or open a Doc. Open an existing document or create a new one where you want your speech to appear.
Activate AI. Inside the Doc, click the AI icon or the related AI option in the toolbar to open the AI panel.
Select Speech Drafting. From the AI Agent options, choose the Speech Drafting agent dedicated to generating speech scripts.

Once the Speech Drafting AI Agent is open, you are ready to provide details so it can build your draft.

How to Configure the Speech Drafting AI Agent in ClickUp

Giving precise instructions to the AI Agent helps you get a speech that matches your goals and style.

Set Your Speech Objective in ClickUp

Start by clearly defining what you want the speech to accomplish.

Inform or educate an audience
Inspire or motivate a team
Pitch an idea, product, or project
Deliver a keynote or conference talk

Type this goal into the AI prompt box so the Speech Drafting agent can frame the structure and emphasis correctly.

Describe Your Audience and Context in ClickUp

Next, describe who will hear the speech and in what setting.

Audience size and type (executives, students, clients, internal team)
Event type (all-hands, webinar, conference session, workshop)
Level of background knowledge on the topic

The more detail you provide, the more precisely the Speech Drafting AI Agent can tailor the language and depth.

Choose Tone, Length, and Key Points

Now define how you want the speech to sound and how long it should be.

Tone: formal, conversational, inspirational, persuasive, or humorous
Length: number of minutes or approximate word count
Key points: 3–7 bullet points you must cover

Include these directly in the prompt to guide the first full draft.

Generating Your First Speech Draft in ClickUp

With your details set, you can now generate the initial speech draft.

Open a blank section. Place your cursor in the Doc where you want the draft to appear.
Enter your prompt. Summarize your goal, audience, tone, length, and bullet-point outline in one instruction to the Speech Drafting AI Agent.
Run the agent. Click the AI action button to start generation.
Review the output. When the draft appears, scroll through the entire script to get a sense of structure and flow.

If the draft is off-target, adjust your prompt with more detail (for example, “shorter intro,” “more data-driven,” or “simpler language”) and run the agent again.

Refining Your Speech with ClickUp AI Tools

After you have a first draft, you can refine it using additional AI capabilities in the same Doc.

Improve Clarity and Flow in ClickUp

Use refinement commands inside the AI panel to polish the text.

Simplify complex sections. Highlight a paragraph and ask AI to make it clearer or more concise.
Adjust tone. Request a more formal, friendly, or energetic style for specific sections.
Shorten or expand. Ask the AI to trim long segments or expand thin sections with examples or transitions.

Run these actions on the introduction, body, and conclusion until they all sound consistent and natural.

Customize Sections for Different Audiences

You can quickly adapt the same core speech for several audiences using the Speech Drafting AI Agent.

Duplicate the original Doc or create new sections in the same file.
Change the audience description in your prompt (for example, from “internal team” to “prospective customers”).
Ask the AI Agent to revise the draft to match the new audience and setting.

This lets you maintain one core message while adjusting examples, level of detail, and call-to-action for each group.

Structuring Your Speech with ClickUp

The Speech Drafting AI Agent can also help you build a solid speech structure before you finalize wording.

Create an Outline in ClickUp Before Writing

If you prefer planning first, ask the AI Agent to generate an outline instead of a full script.

Opening hook ideas
Three to five key sections
Supporting points and stories
Closing summary and call-to-action

Once the outline is ready, run the agent again and ask it to expand each section into full paragraphs.

Generate Variations of Key Parts

For important components like the opening or conclusion, use AI to explore alternatives.

Highlight the introduction or final paragraph.
Ask the Speech Drafting AI Agent for two or three variations.
Compare the options and keep the one that best fits your voice.

Repeat this for your main call-to-action or any story you want to refine for maximum impact.

Collaborating on Speeches in ClickUp

Once you have a strong draft, use built-in collaboration tools to gather feedback and finalize it.

Comments: Invite teammates to leave suggestions directly on lines or paragraphs.
Tasks: Turn sections into tasks for reviewers who need to approve or fact-check content.
Version history: Track changes as you refine the speech with AI and human edits.

The combination of Speech Drafting AI Agents and collaboration tools makes it easy to move from rough concept to approved script inside one workspace.

Exporting and Presenting Your Speech from ClickUp

After final review, you can export or repurpose your speech for different formats.

Copy the script into your slide deck notes
Export the Doc as a PDF or other supported format
Convert sections into talking-point checklists for live delivery

Keeping everything inside a single Doc ensures your slides, notes, and final script stay aligned.
