Add ClickUp AI to your Workflow

Below are some ideas and best practices for using AI in your workflow. 

Use ClickUp AI for project planning

Use AI to brainstorm your project plan. 

To use AI to help write a project plan:

1. Open a new Doc.
2. Select Write with AI. Or use the /Slash Command Write.
3. In the prompt text box, write your prompt. The best prompts are specific. You can also provide examples and specify things like tone and audience. For example:
   Write a detailed construction project plan for a project manager. We are building the world's longest bridge in Penang, Malaysia. We need permits and international licenses. Include timelines and scope of work. Also, estimate how many people will be needed to make this ten-mile-long bridge.
   
   
   • Other prompt practices to consider:
     • You can paste a project plan you've used before into the prompt and ask: Use the following project plan as an example.
     • You can also tell AI what to do next. For example, you could type Generate action items or Summarize this as an email. 

Create the project plan Doc

Once the plan looks good, create the Doc. 

1. From the Writer modal, click Insert. 
2. The project plan is inserted into the Doc. 

Consider making the project plan a wiki. A wiki is a Doc that's prioritized as the source of truth. This ensures that everyone can easily find the most up-to-date info on your project. 

Create tasks from the project plan

You can create tasks from the project plan Doc. The tasks will display in the Doc as preview links.

You can click the link to open the task from the Doc. When you hover over the link, details like status, assignee, and priority will display and can be edited.

To create tasks:

1. In the open Doc, highlight some text. For example, highlight the phrase Permit Acquisition to create a task about securing the permits needed to build the bridge. 
2. From the menu, select +Task.
   
   
   • You can select a location, assignee, and priority. You also have the option to fill out other fields that exist in the location. 
3. Click Create.  

Use Write with AI to generate task details

Quickly brainstorm the details needed to get this task done. 

1. From the Doc, click the link to open the task.
2. Select Write with AI. Or use the /Slash Command Write.
3. In the prompt text box type your prompt. For example, you could type:
   What are the design requirements for a ten-mile-long bridge? The bridge will be over water and at least five lanes wide.
4. AI will generate the task description. 
5. Take a close look at the content AI has generated to ensure it's correct and useful for this project. 

Use AI to suggest subtasks

Let AI suggest some subtasks.

1. From the open task, select the Subtasks tab, and click Suggest subtasks.
2. From the content generated in the task description, AI generates some subtasks. 
3. You can create those subtasks or unselect one or more.  
   • At any point in the process, you can change the name of the subtask. 
     
4. Click Create subtasks.

Manage your knowledge

Once your project is underway, leadership can easily assess progress or blockers. Project managers can get task updates or team standups to see progress made quickly. Team members can summarize comment threads and ask AI if they have any action items.

Your team can even access items outside of your Workspace, like spreadsheets, from connected apps.

Knowledge management for leadership

Leadership, easily check in on project progress with the following features:

• Ask AI where the work is happening.
• Or generate task summaries and updates with AI Custom Fields without even opening the task.

To Ask AI where the work is:

1. In the toolbar click Search to open the Command Center and use AI with Connected Search. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Option +  K on Mac or Alt + K on Windows. 
2. In the Command Center search bar, type your prompt. For example, you could ask: Where is the scope of work for the Penang bridge project? 

To generate task summaries and updates:

Before using this feature, the AI Custom Fields need to be added to the location. Then these Custom Field columns need to be added to a view.
