Create tasks from your inbox
Email Carly with the details and she'll create a task in ClickUp — with the right list, assignee, due date, and priority. No need to open ClickUp at all.
Update task statuses on the go
Tell Carly to mark a task as done, move it to "In Review", or change the priority. She'll update the status in ClickUp so your board stays current without you touching it.
Get space and list summaries
Ask Carly what's open in a specific space or list and she'll pull your tasks, statuses, and due dates from ClickUp and send you a quick summary.
Add comments and assignees to tasks
Email Carly to drop a comment on a task or reassign it to a teammate. She'll update the task in ClickUp and you can keep moving.
Why teams are using AI to manage ClickUp
ClickUp can do almost everything — tasks, docs, goals, time tracking, dashboards. But that power comes with a deep hierarchy: workspaces, spaces, folders, lists, tasks, subtasks. Creating a task in the right place means navigating through multiple levels, picking the correct list, setting the status, priority, assignee, and custom fields. For teams with complex ClickUp setups, the overhead of keeping everything organized is significant.
AI tools for ClickUp cut through that hierarchy. Instead of clicking through spaces and folders to file a task, you send one message with the details and it lands in the right list with the right fields. Instead of opening the app to update a status, you text a quick update. The workspace stays organized because the friction to update it is almost zero.
How Carly works as your AI ClickUp assistant
Carly connects to your ClickUp workspace through OAuth. Once linked, you manage tasks and projects by emailing or texting Carly — no need to navigate ClickUp's hierarchy yourself.
Need to create a task? Email Carly with the list name, task title, assignee, due date, priority, and any custom field values and she'll create it in the right place. Want to update a task status from your phone? Text Carly and she'll change it. Need to know what's overdue in a specific space? Ask Carly and she'll pull the tasks grouped by list with statuses, assignees, and due dates.
Carly understands ClickUp's structure — she knows the difference between spaces, folders, and lists, and she can set custom fields, add comments, and create subtasks. But she works from outside the app, which means she can also pull in context from your email, Slack, calendar, or CRM and push it into ClickUp tasks. Forward a client email and she'll turn it into a task with the details already filled in.
Who uses an AI assistant for ClickUp
Project managers running complex ClickUp workspaces with multiple spaces and dozens of lists who need a faster way to create and update tasks. Marketing teams using ClickUp to manage campaigns, content calendars, and creative requests who want to file tasks from email instead of navigating the app. Founders and team leads who rely on ClickUp for everything but don't have time to maintain it manually. If your ClickUp workspace is powerful but time-consuming to keep updated, Carly makes the maintenance effortless.

Get Started →Frequently asked questions
What is the best AI for ClickUp?
Carly is an AI assistant that connects to your ClickUp workspace and lets you create tasks, update statuses, manage custom fields, and get project summaries just by sending an email or text. Unlike ClickUp's built-in AI or browser extensions, Carly works from outside the app — you message her like a colleague, and she navigates ClickUp's hierarchy for you.
Can AI automate ClickUp tasks?
Yes. With Carly, you can email or text instructions like "create a task in the Marketing list, assign to Jamie, due Friday, high priority" and Carly will create it in ClickUp with all the fields filled in. You can also forward emails to Carly and she'll turn them into ClickUp tasks automatically.
How does Carly connect to ClickUp?
Go to your Carly dashboard, click Connect next to ClickUp, and authorize access. That's it — Carly can then create tasks, update statuses, add comments, and read your workspace data.
Is Carly different from ClickUp's built-in AI?
Yes. ClickUp's built-in AI helps with things like summarizing tasks and writing descriptions inside the app. Carly works from outside ClickUp — she's an assistant you email or text who can create tasks, update them, and pull summaries without you opening the app. She can also connect to your email, Slack, calendar, and CRM to push information into ClickUp from other tools.
Does Carly support ClickUp custom fields?
Yes. Carly can read and set custom fields on tasks, including text, dropdown, date, and number fields. Just mention the field name and value in your message.
Can I use AI to get ClickUp project summaries?
Yes. Ask Carly what's open or overdue in a specific space or list and she'll pull your tasks grouped by status, with assignees and due dates. It's a fast way to check project health or prep for a standup without opening ClickUp.
