Getting Started
1
Create Your Account

2
Start Your First Conversation
Once logged in, you'll see the main chat interface. Type a question or task in the input box and press Enter. ClickUp AI supports task summarization, document drafting, status updates, project templates, team context — start with a simple text prompt to get familiar.
Pro Tips
- Be specific: The more context you provide, the better the response. Instead of "write an email," try "write a professional follow-up email to a client who hasn't responded in two weeks."
- Iterate: If you don't get what you need, ask for clarification or refinement: "Make it shorter" or "Use a more formal tone."
- Use examples: Show ClickUp AI what format you want by including an example in your prompt.
- Save useful conversations: Most platforms let you name and revisit conversations — organize by project or topic.
