In a bid to challenge Slack, Notion and Microsoft Teams, ClickUp has rolled out its 4.0 platform update featuring two new AI assistants and a more unified interface designed to consolidate workplace tools. The enhancements follow ClickUp’s acquisition of enterprise search startup Qatalog, which helped power new knowledge discovery and automation capabilities.
The first assistant proactively appears across communication channels to answer user questions using internal company data and external integrations such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Figma, and Gmail. A second agent, called Brain, functions as a general-purpose tool that generates ideas, assists with scheduling, creates tasks, and analyzes reports. Both are accessible from a persistent sidebar.
The redesigned interface enables faster switching between tasks, documents, and conversations. New communication tools include AI-generated call transcripts and automatic meeting note distribution, while calendar updates can adjust schedules based on task priorities. A dashboard gives leaders visibility into team workload and progress.
ClickUp continues to position itself as an all-in-one productivity platform against established competitors. The company has surpassed $300 million in annual recurring revenue and plans to pursue a public listing within two years. To date, it has raised more than $537 million from investors including a16z, Tiger Global, and Craft Ventures.
