Deep Search with ClickUp AI

Deep Search is designed to find hard-to-locate information. The Deep Search tool performs a much more thorough search across your entire Workspace. It will find information buried deep in docs, tasks, and other assets—even if they’re years old or hard to locate with standard search.

Search Deeply with ClickUp AI

To use Deep Search:

  1. In the toolbar, open ClickUp AI.
  2. In the ClickUp Brain model's Search section, select Deep Search.

    Deep Search takes longer than other ClickUp AI queries. Deep Search will let you know that it's working or if it cannot find any info!

  3. Deep Search usually suggests follow-ups.

Deep Search best practices

Check out our general guide to best practices for effective ClickUp AI prompting.

Aside from our general prompting guidelines, Deep Search is best used in large Workspaces with lots of data. It's also useful for complex, multistep searches.

Otherwise, we suggest asking AI a question using the prompt field. Or, you can select a location-based option to ask a question about a specific item or location.
