Use AI From Anywhere in ClickUp

ClickUp makes it easy to use AI wherever you work, so you can write, summarize, and organize content without leaving your current view. This guide explains how to access AI tools across the platform and shows you exactly where you can start using them.

The information below is based on the official documentation, adapted into a clear step-by-step how-to so you can quickly integrate AI into your daily workflows.

Where You Can Use AI in ClickUp

You can access AI from many areas in ClickUp so you do not need to switch between tools. Supported locations include:

  • Docs and the Task Description editor
  • Subtasks and Checklist items
  • Comments across tasks and Docs
  • The command center
  • The Inbox and Notification Center
  • The global search bar

Each area offers slightly different options, but the main goal is the same: help you work faster, reduce manual typing, and improve clarity.

How to Enable AI in ClickUp

Before using AI, your Workspace must have AI turned on. Workspace owners or admins control access to AI features.

  1. Open your Workspace settings.
  2. Navigate to the AI or billing section, depending on your plan.
  3. Confirm that AI is available and enabled for your Workspace.
  4. Assign AI access to the members who need it.

Once AI is enabled, supported areas of ClickUp will display AI buttons or icons you can click to open prompts.

Use AI in ClickUp Docs and Task Descriptions

Docs and task descriptions are key places to use AI in ClickUp when drafting or refining content.

Create and edit content with AI in ClickUp Docs

To start using AI in a Doc:

  1. Open a Doc inside your Workspace.
  2. Click into the Doc body where you want to generate or edit text.
  3. Look for the AI icon or prompt menu that appears in the editor toolbar.
  4. Select a suggested AI prompt or type your own instruction, such as:
    • Write an outline for a project plan
    • Summarize this section
    • Improve the tone and clarity
  5. Review the generated text and insert or replace content as needed.

You can rerun prompts, request changes, or regenerate content until it matches your needs.

Use AI for task and subtask descriptions in ClickUp

To use AI in task or subtask descriptions:

  1. Open a task in ClickUp.
  2. Click inside the Description area or subtask description.
  3. Click the AI icon in the rich text toolbar.
  4. Choose an option, like summarizing existing text or drafting a new description.
  5. Insert the output and make manual edits when required.

This helps standardize how you describe work, especially when you manage many similar tasks.

Use AI on Comments in ClickUp

AI can assist with writing, editing, and summarizing comments directly inside ClickUp.

Write new comments with AI

To draft a new comment using AI:

  1. Open a task, Doc, or location where comments are available.
  2. Click into the comment box.
  3. Click the AI button, if visible, to open comment-specific prompts.
  4. Provide context, like what you want to say, who you are writing to, or the outcome you need.
  5. Insert the generated comment and adjust the wording as necessary.

Summarize or refine existing comments with AI

When threads become long, AI can help create concise summaries.

  1. Select or highlight comment text if the interface allows.
  2. Click the AI option to summarize or clarify.
  3. Review the output and post it as a new comment or note.

This improves communication and speeds up responses when working in larger teams.

Use AI From the ClickUp Command Center

The command center offers a fast way to access AI in ClickUp without leaving your keyboard.

Open the command center

Follow these steps to open the command center:

  1. Use the shortcut defined in your Workspace, typically a quick key combination.
  2. Type to search for actions, pages, tasks, and AI-related options.
  3. Select the AI entry to open a prompt window.

Run AI prompts from the command center

Once the command center is open:

  1. Enter an instruction, such as summarizing a task, creating an outline, or rephrasing a message.
  2. Specify context if needed, like task titles, topics, or audience.
  3. Review the AI-generated result and then copy or apply it to a Doc, task, or comment.

This method keeps you focused and avoids manually navigating menus.

Use AI in Inbox and Notifications in ClickUp

Inbox and notifications can quickly fill with updates. AI in ClickUp helps you digest this information faster.

Summarize notifications with AI

To summarize notifications:

  1. Open the Inbox or Notification Center.
  2. Locate AI controls or prompts provided in that section.
  3. Select an option to summarize multiple updates or a long thread.
  4. Review the summary to understand recent changes at a glance.

This is useful when you return from time away or manage many projects at once.

Draft replies from Inbox using AI

In some cases, AI can also help you reply directly from your Inbox.

  1. Click into a reply field related to a notification.
  2. Open AI from the comment or reply editor.
  3. Describe how you want to respond, including the tone and key points.
  4. Insert, review, and send the AI-assisted reply.

Use AI With Search in ClickUp

Search is another powerful place to access AI in ClickUp, helping you find and interpret information faster.

Search content and apply AI

To use AI while searching:

  1. Open the global search bar.
  2. Type in the task, Doc, or topic you need.
  3. From the results, look for AI options to summarize or explain content.
  4. Use those insights to decide which items to open or prioritize.

This workflow lets you quickly understand what a result contains without fully opening every item.

Best Practices for Using AI in ClickUp

To get the most from AI features in ClickUp, follow these best practices:

  • Be specific with your prompts, including audience, goals, and style.
  • Use AI for drafts, then review content before sharing.
  • Refine prompts when the first response is not ideal.
  • Leverage AI more heavily in repetitive or documentation-heavy processes.

Always treat AI as an assistant rather than an automatic final answer, and verify key details for accuracy.
