Productivity platform ClickUp announced a new AI offering yesterday that aims to eliminate redundant tasks and save users time. The new product, called ClickUp Brain, utilizes three AI assistants – the AI Knowledge Manager, AI Project Manager, and AI Writer for Work.
Together, these tools provide users with automated progress reports, contextual answers to questions, writing assistance tailored to specific jobs, and more. The goal is to handle repetitive, administrative work so that users can spend more time on substantive work.
“At ClickUp, our mission has always been to save people time,” said ClickUp CEO and Founder Zeb Evans in a statement. “AI tools are everywhere, but none are saving you time through every step of your work day.”
Unlike other AI writing tools that are based on ChatGPT, ClickUp designed its AI Writer for Work to leverage knowledge about a user’s specific role and current tasks. This allows it to provide prompts and assistance suited to the situation and occasion.
ClickUp Brain also stands out in its integration directly into ClickUp’s existing productivity platform. Rather than toggling between programs, users can simply navigate to the Brain via conversational interface from anywhere in ClickUp. This allows the AI full access to project details, documents, tasks, and more to more accurately assist users.
The integration also facilitates real-time collaboration. As University College Dublin’s Head of Operational Innovation Phillip Quinlan noted, ClickUp Brain significantly improved leadership update processes by pulling details right from relevant ClickUp content to enhance summaries.
With ClickUp Brain, ClickUp appears poised to lead an AI productivity revolution. The assistants mark the next generation of ClickUp AI, saving users time by eliminating work about work.
