Which items can I create?

We're adding new tools all the time. Currently, tasks and subtasks, Docs and pages, reminders, and Lists can be created in various locations using Brain AI. You can either create items using natural language or ready-to-use prompts.  

Learn what you can do with ClickUp AI tools.

Create items with natural language prompts

For example, you could type: Create a task in the Agency Management Space. Name it Weekly project review. Assign it to Avery and set the status to Ready. 

Brain will create the task and present follow up options.
