About ClickUp
ClickUp bets its future on Brain², a ground-up AI coworker rebuilt to complete work
ClickUp's changelog has shifted almost entirely onto AI. After launching Super Agents in early 2026, it has now rebuilt ClickUp Brain from the ground up as Brain², positioned not as a chatbot but as a context-aware AI coworker that self-improves, routes across models, and completes work: building sites, slides, and managing projects, all under one price. Conventional release notes (Gantt Baselines, Google Drive automations, task-type management) still ship underneath, but they've become the supporting cast to the AI narrative.
