Why This Acquisition Matters

Today, most teams live in two worlds:

  • The world where work is planned, documented, and discussed in tools like ClickUp
  • The world where software is actually built and shipped by a small group of specialists

That gap slows everything down. Great ideas stall in docs and tickets. Simple changes require long backlogs. And AI coding tools, while powerful, often sit off to the side disconnected from your actual plans, tasks, and goals.

ClickUp acquired Codegen to close that gap.

Codegen’s AI Coding Agents, tightly woven into the fabric of ClickUp, will help transform every knowledge worker from a software consumer into a software creator. Instead of just tracking work in ClickUp, you’ll be able to use that work as context inputs to build and update the systems you rely on.

In other words, your tasks become instructions for work that actually gets done.

From Software Consumers to Software Creators

Codegen empowers non-technical teams to execute work that previously required dedicated engineering time. When combined with ClickUp, that unlocks new possibilities across your organization:

  • Customer support: Turn incoming tickets into real fixes. Agents can help generate and apply code changes based on the issues your customers report
  • Product managers: Turn PRDs and chats into working prototypes faster. Go from “what we should build” to “something we can test” without waiting weeks for the first implementation
  • Agencies and marketers: Make copy and design updates without looping in developers for every change, from landing pages to campaign microsites
  • Startups: Manage your website and blog infrastructure from the same place you plan launches and track work
  • Engineering and QA: Automate test suite creation directly from requirements so teams can ship faster with more confidence

The future isn’t about every person becoming a traditional developer. It’s about giving every team the ability to shape the software they rely on safely, quickly, and in the tools they already use every day.

With Codegen, your workflows become faster and more efficient

What This Means for ClickUp Customers

If you’re a ClickUp customer, this acquisition is a major step forward in our vision of converging work, communication, and AI.

Over time, you can expect:

  • Deeper AI-powered execution inside ClickUp: Tasks, docs, and chat provide the context, Codegen’s technology helps translate that context into working systems and interfaces
  • More automation around “last-mile” work: Instead of stopping at specs, tickets, or briefs, you’ll be able to push further into code changes, configuration updates, and new experiences
  • Faster experimentation: Product, marketing, and operations teams will be able to prototype and ship changes faster, then iterate based on real-world feedback
The Codegen Agent operates within your ClickUp Workspace and comes with a deep understanding of your existing projects and tasks

All of this builds on ClickUp’s core promise: helping teams work faster and smarter by bringing everything together in one place.

What This Means for Codegen Customers

As we look ahead, we want to share an important update: the Codegen service will be officially deprecated on January 16, 2026. While this marks the end of one chapter, it opens up exciting new opportunities for you and your teams.

We’re committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Continued support until January 16, 2026: You’ll have full access to Codegen through this date, with our team available to help with any questions or needs
  • Migration resources: We’ll provide a comprehensive migration guide to help you move your workflows to leading alternative coding agents, such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Devin, ensuring you can continue building with minimal disruption
  • A new era with ClickUp: We’re bringing powerful coding agents directly into ClickUp, so you can manage, automate, and build software right alongside your projects, docs, and conversations. Soon, you’ll be able to leverage multiple AI coding agents within ClickUp, making it easier than ever to turn ideas into working software, all in one place

We’re grateful for your partnership and excited to support you as you explore new tools and possibilities. If you have questions or want early access to ClickUp’s upcoming coding agents, let us know.

We’d love to help you shape what’s next!

Leadership for the AI Era

This acquisition is also about bringing together teams that see AI not as a feature, but as a new foundation for how work gets done.

The future isn’t about humans adapting to AI, it’s about AI adapting to humans.

Zeb EvansFounder and CEO, ClickUp

Codegen’s CEO, Jay, is joining ClickUp as the new Head of AI to help lead that future.

“The bottleneck to agents transforming how work is done is no longer AI capabilities – it’s context. Access to plans, docs, and goals,” said Jay. “ClickUp is the only platform that houses all of that context in one place. We aren’t just building a smarter coding tool; we’re building a workforce that scales across software engineering, product management, sales, enterprise workflows, and beyond.”

By combining Codegen’s proprietary AI coding agents with ClickUp’s rich work graph, we’re laying the groundwork for agents that understand not just your codebase, but your business.
