ClickUp Agents

ClickUp Agents are AI-powered teammates built into ClickUp. Instead of switching between separate tools, teams can use them right where work already happens to answer questions, assist in chat, automate actions, and help move projects forward.

If you already use ClickUp for tasks, docs, chats, and workflows, ClickUp Agents can make that setup much more powerful. They are designed to understand context from your workspace and act on instructions you give them, which makes them useful for both day-to-day task support and larger workflow automation.

What is ClickUp Agents?

ClickUp Agents is part of ClickUp Brain, the company’s AI layer for work management. The tool includes different agent types that help teams automate repetitive work, respond to questions, and complete multi-step workflows inside ClickUp.

There are two main agent types. Super Agents are more flexible AI teammates that can perform multi-step work with human-like interactions. Autopilot Agents are more structured and respond to defined triggers and conditions in places like Spaces, Folders, Lists, and Chat channels.

Who is ClickUp Agents for?

ClickUp Agents is mainly built for teams and businesses already using ClickUp. It is especially useful for project managers, operations teams, product teams, customer-facing teams, HR teams, and internal support teams that want to reduce repetitive work.

It can also help smaller teams that need lightweight automation without building complex systems from scratch. Because ClickUp offers a no-code setup for Autopilot Agents and a natural-language builder for Super Agents, non-technical users can get started without needing developer skills.

Main features

One of the biggest strengths of ClickUp Agents is that they work inside the ClickUp environment. They can use workspace context, interact with chats, and pull from tasks, docs, and selected connected knowledge sources.

Key features include:

• Super Agents for multi-step AI workflows and more adaptive task handling

• Autopilot Agents for trigger-based automation in Chats, Spaces, Folders, and Lists

• Natural-language setup for building agents more easily

• Knowledge access from tasks, docs, chats, public or selected private spaces, and external connected apps

• Chat support through @mentions, direct messages, and channel-based workflows

• Built-in controls for permissions, access, and logged actions

• AI help for writing and improving agent instructions

• Prebuilt options such as Ambient Answers for responding to chat questions

Common use cases

ClickUp Agents can be used in many practical ways. A team might create an agent that answers recurring HR questions in a chat channel, another that summarizes project updates, or one that helps research information and flag delays in ongoing work.

They are also useful for internal support, project coordination, knowledge sharing, and communication workflows. For example, a team can use an Autopilot Agent to respond whenever a message is posted in a channel, or use a Super Agent to handle more flexible research and follow-up tasks across a workspace.

How to use ClickUp Agents

Getting started depends on the type of agent you want to create.

Using Super Agents

Super Agents are suited for more advanced, flexible workflows. You create them from ClickUp’s AI Hub and configure their instructions, tools, data access, and triggers. They can be launched manually, through chat, or through selected trigger options.

A simple setup flow looks like this:

1. Open ClickUp and enable the AI ClickApp for your workspace.

2. Go to the AI Hub.

3. Create a new Super Agent.

4. Describe what you want the agent to do in natural language.

5. Choose its tools, knowledge sources, permissions, and triggers.

6. Test the agent and refine its instructions.

7. Use it in your workflow or trigger it in Chat with an @mention or direct message.

Using Autopilot Agents

Autopilot Agents are better for defined, repeatable automations. You set them up with triggers, actions, instructions, and knowledge sources in a no-code builder.

A basic setup flow is:

1. Start building a new Autopilot Agent in the desired location.

2. Choose where it will run, such as a Chat, Space, Folder, or List.

3. Set the trigger, like a posted message or another supported event.

4. Add instructions so the agent knows how to respond or act.

5. Connect the right knowledge sources, including tasks, docs, chats, spaces, or external apps.

6. Save, test, and adjust the workflow as needed.

If you are unsure how to write instructions, ClickUp Brain can help you generate and refine prompts for both Super Agents and Autopilot Agents.

Pricing

ClickUp Agents is part of ClickUp’s AI offering rather than a completely separate standalone product. ClickUp AI is available on a trial basis in workspaces, and paid AI access is sold through add-ons.

At the time of writing, ClickUp lists Brain AI at $9 per user per month on annual pricing or $18 per user per month on monthly pricing. ClickUp also offers an Everything AI plan at $28 per user per month on annual pricing or $68 per user per month on monthly pricing. AI Super Credits are sold separately starting at $10 for 10,000 credits, and some advanced AI features use those credits.

That means the best pricing label for ClickUp Agents is freemium: there is trial access, but ongoing use of the full AI feature set requires paid add-ons.

Supported platforms

ClickUp Agents works inside ClickUp, which is available on the web, desktop, and mobile. Some features, especially deeper setup and workspace management, are easiest to use from the web or desktop experience.

Integrations

ClickUp Agents can use information from within ClickUp, such as tasks, docs, and chats, and can also connect to external sources through Connected Search and selected app connections. This makes the agents more useful for teams that keep knowledge across multiple tools.

What makes ClickUp Agents useful?

The biggest benefit is convenience. Instead of using AI in isolation, ClickUp Agents brings it directly into project management and team collaboration. That means your AI assistant can work with the same tasks, docs, and chats your team already uses.

It is also flexible enough to cover different levels of automation. Teams that want simple trigger-based responses can use Autopilot Agents, while teams that need more capable AI coworkers can build Super Agents for broader workflows.

Final thoughts

ClickUp Agents is a strong option for teams that already run their work in ClickUp and want AI that feels connected to real workflows instead of sitting in a separate chat window. It can help answer questions, automate repetitive steps, improve internal communication, and support more advanced project work.

If your team wants to save time without adding another disconnected AI tool to the stack, ClickUp Agents is worth exploring. The combination of workspace context, automation, and flexible agent types makes it one of the more practical AI features available in modern project management software.
