01. Context
ClickUp was founded in 2017 with a simple thesis: its founders' marketing team was handling 15 different tools for 25 people. The product premise since then has been convergence: a single space that replaces task manager, documents, chat, calendar, goals, time tracking, forms and AI. Today it positions itself as 'the first Converged AI Workspace' and articulates its discourse around work sprawl: the hidden cost of having disconnected tools, people and processes.
The product was relaunched as ClickUp 4.0 in December 2025 with a complete redesign: Brain in the sidebar, proactive AI agents in chat, Enterprise Search via the acquisition of Qatalog, and SyncUps (native video calls with transcription and action items). The acquisition of Codegen that same year brought in its CEO Jay Hack as Head of AI at ClickUp and added a specific engineering agent capable of creating PRs and executing technical tasks within the workspace.
The AI layer is where it invests most. Super Agents are AI companions that appear as real users in the workspace, can be mentioned with @, assigned to tasks and configured with over 500 skills. The CEO himself operates with 2,000+ Super Agents in what he calls 'Founder Mode'. It supports multi-model (GPT-5, Claude Opus, o3, o1-mini) and MCP, which allows Claude or ChatGPT to connect directly to the workspace as external tools.
02. How we apply it
The applications that come up most often in our projects.
Operating system for agencies
Marketing and creative agencies where ClickUp is the nerve center of delivery, billable time tracking and profitability per client. It is the product's most mature vertical, there are thousands of documented implementations.
Enterprise project & portfolio management
Executive dashboards, capacity planning, resource allocation and OKRs linked to sprints. For large operations teams that need cross-cutting visibility without jumping between five tools.
Super Agents rollout and agentic workflows
Design and configuration of agents to automate status reports, triage, onboarding and follow-ups. Optimization of AI Super Credits so the bill does not skyrocket.
Migrations from Asana, Monday, Jira or Trello
Configuration of Spaces, custom fields, automations and integrations. Mapping of hierarchy and data without losing history or breaking processes in production.
Lightweight CRM and sales pipeline
Sales pipeline within ClickUp for teams that do not want a full Salesforce or HubSpot. Custom statuses per stage, follow-up automations, conversion dashboards.
03. What changes for you
When we work with you, what we design in your workspace incorporates the latest ClickUp can do: Brain in the sidebar, Super Agents with 500+ skills, Codegen for engineering teams, Enterprise Search post-Qatalog acquisition. ClickUp 4.0 has been in production since December 2025 and the pace of novelties is aggressive, deploying the six-month-old version already means losing half the value you paid for.
ClickUp's AI pricing model is noticeably more expensive than the rest of the market: Everything AI at USD 28/user/month, AI Super Credits consumed with each Super Agent and AI Field. What we do differently is not let it run unchecked: we separate what can be solved with free automations (deterministic, fast, unlimited) from what truly requires an agent, we optimize which workflows justify the cost, and we connect Super Agents with the rest of your stack. Make, n8n, Notion, GitHub, so they do not operate as an isolated island inside the workspace.
