What Is ClickUp Brain?
ClickUp Brain, also called Brain², is the AI layer inside the ClickUp work platform. It uses a Context Engine to link your tasks, docs, chats and connected apps, so it can answer questions and build dashboards, pages and slides from that data. It supports voice input, MCP connections, a meeting notetaker and AI agents.
Who Should Use ClickUp Brain?
ClickUp Brain suits project managers, team leads, agency owners and founders who already plan work in ClickUp and want AI that sees that work. Teams should check credits first, since agents, AI Fields and automations use them. Upgrades apply to the whole workspace, not to single users.
How Does ClickUp Brain Work?
- Use ClickUp as your workspace for tasks, docs, chats and goals.
- Open ClickUp Brain on the web, desktop, mobile or Chrome and ask a question or give it a task.
- Brain reads the workspace data and connected apps it is allowed to see, based on your permissions.
- It answers, builds an artifact such as a dashboard or page, takes call notes, or runs an agent.
- Credits are used for some features, such as agents and AI Fields, and a plan's pool refreshes each month.

ClickUp Brain Key Features
Workspace Knowledge
Brain uses a Context Engine that links tasks, docs, chats and conversations into one self-updating knowledge graph. Users can ask questions and get answers based on their own workspace data, instead of pasting content into a separate chat tool.
Artifact Creation
Brain can build dashboards, pages, slides and charts from workspace data. The pricing page lists prototype creation on Max. Artifact creation may use credits, based on the plan, so heavy users should watch their monthly pool.
Talk-to-Text and Notetaker
Talk-to-Text lets users speak instead of type, on desktop and mobile. The Notetaker joins calls, takes notes and adds them to the workspace context. Notetaker uses credits on Free through Business and is unlimited on Max, with fair usage limits.
MCP Connections
MCP connections let Brain reach apps such as Google Drive, GitHub and Salesforce, and any MCP server. The Free plan has a limit of 100 MCP calls per day, while Max lists no daily cap.
Model Choice
Brain works with models such as GPT, Claude and Gemini, and can switch between them. Premium models are a trial on Free and Core, included on Business and scaled on Enterprise. Max lists maximum premium model usage.
AI Agents and AI Fields
Super Agents and Ambient Agents can act on work and surface suggestions. Max lists unlimited Autopilot Agents and AI Fields. Other plans use credits for these features, and extra AI Super Credits can be bought as an add-on.
