Use Codegen in ClickUp
Codegen is designed to work seamlessly alongside human teammates.
There are three ways to use Codegen:
-
Create an Automation that assigns tasks to Codegen or @mentions Codegen in a comment.
-
Manually assign a task to the Codegen agent. This triggers Codegen to take action based on its programmed behavior.
Codegen agents are not traditional assignees. Assigning a task to a Codegen agent triggers the agent to act on it, but a human teammate remains responsible for its completion.
- @mention Codegen in task comments to trigger its functions.
If you're unsure what the Codegen agent can assist you with, try @mentioning the Codegen agent in a task comment and ask for help.
