ClickUp

ClickUp is a San Diego-based work management software company, founded in 2017, that describes its product as a Converged AI Workspace where people and AI agents work together. Its stated aim is to replace a collection of separate applications and AI tools with a single platform, an approach it presents as a way to reduce work sprawl and keep shared context in one place. This places the company in the collaborative work management category, where vendors compete to consolidate the task trackers, document editors and messaging tools that teams often run side by side.

The platform covers project and task management, team communication, scheduling and time tracking, docs and wikis, whiteboards and dashboards, and files and approvals. Work can be viewed as lists, boards or Gantt charts, and the product also includes calendars, sprints and automations. On the AI side, ClickUp offers an assistant called Brain, AI tools for meetings and calls, and AI agents and workflows. It also extends into areas such as CRM and IT service management, functions that organisations commonly buy as separate products.

ClickUp reports more than 20 million users and 3 million teams, and it states its mission as maximising human productivity. The company offers a free-forever plan that requires no credit card, a common route for workplace software to gain adoption within individual teams before wider rollout across an organisation. Because the product spans engineering sprints, documentation and general project tracking, it is typically relevant to cross-functional teams looking to standardise on one shared tool.
