Write with AI from anywhere in ClickUp

This article is about our AI Writing feature. Here's another way ClickUp AI can help you write:

  1. From any location where you can access AI, at the bottom of Brain Assistant, type a request into the prompt field. For example, you could type: Write a blog post about best practices for prompting AI?

  2. In the lower-right corner of the prompt field, click the send button. 
  3. AI will provide a blog post. You can edit AI's draft or ask AI to edit it. For example, you could ask: Create shorter paragraphs, use bullet points, and add subheadings.  

AI Writing

You can use AI Writing anywhere in ClickUp that accepts text. For example, a task comment, a Chat, or a Doc

To use AI Writing:

  1. From the location, highlight some text to display the text toolbar. 
    • Highlight the text you want AI to consider. For example, if you want to check the spelling and grammar in one paragraph, select only that paragraph. If you want to check the whole Doc, select all of the text. 
  2. In the text toolbar, select the ClickUp AI icon.
  3. Choose one of the writing or editing tools described in the table below:

Use the /write /Slash Command

If an AI icon or button displays in the location, select it. For example, a new Doc has a Write with AI button, in an existing Doc, you'll use the /Slash Command. 

ClickUp can't read text in a table.

  1. From anywhere in ClickUp that uses text, type the /Slash Command /write or /writing.
    Choose one of the writing or editing tools described in the table below: 
    Option Description

    Write with AI

    Ask AI to write anything. For example, you could type, Create a table comparing the top 10 US dog breeds. Include columns for size and energy level.

    Screenshot of part of a table comparing the top 10 dog breeds in the US.

    Paste a draft into the modal, ask AI to edit it, and press Return or Enter or click the send icon. 

    Click Write a description, Create a plan, or Generate action items. The response is based on context from the location. For example, from a Scope of Work Doc, you click Create a plan. AI uses the content of the Doc to create a project plan.

    • You can click the Default Tone dropdown to select a tone. For example, professional or humorous.
