Solving the Challenge of Fragmented Workflows

It’s no secret that our modern workplace is a complex web of tools and platforms.

We use different applications for communication, project management, file storage, and more. This fragmentation creates silos of information, making it challenging to find what we need when we need it. The constant switching between apps—often referred to as the “toggle tax”—further hampers our productivity.

And the tax is real: a recent study by HBR revealed that workers toggle between apps 1,200 times a day. That’s just under 4 hours a week in attention resetting, or 9% of workers’ annual work time!

But what if there was a way to bring all these scattered pieces together and eliminate the toggle tax?

What if AI could bridge the gaps, connect the dots, and transform our fragmented workflows into a seamless, integrated experience?

The Evolution of AI in the Workplace

The journey of AI in the workplace has been remarkable.

From disconnected AI solutions that operated independently from workflows, to point solutions that addressed specific tasks, we’ve seen significant advancements.

In 2023, ClickUp Brain 1.0 started integrating AI with core work processes, but with Connected AI, we are now tying everything together for the first time, ever.

The Cutting-Edge Technology Behind ClickUp Brain and Connected AI

Connected AI isn’t just another AI tool; it’s a groundbreaking technology that gives teams a unique edge by seamlessly integrating the most advanced AI capabilities directly into your workflow.

Here’s what sets ClickUp Brain and Connected AI apart from other solutions on the market today:

  • Real-Time Data Updates: Unlike some other tools on the market, which can take hours to reflect changes, ClickUp Brain ensures that all changes within ClickUp and connected third-party apps are reflected instantly. This means you’re always working with the most up-to-date information without any delays.
  • Effortless Integration: ClickUp Brain seamlessly integrates with GDrive, Box, Dropbox, Confluence, and GitHub, among others. No manual configurations or third-party services are required—everything is connected and ready to go out of the box. ChatGPT, on the other hand, requires extensive manual setup and doesn’t natively index files, making it less efficient for integrated workflows.
  • Privacy and Security by Default: Your data privacy is paramount. ClickUp Brain only accesses information you can see and never uses your data to train AI models, unlike many other AI tools which require expensive enterprise plans for similar guarantees.
  • Comprehensive Context Awareness: ClickUp Brain understands the full context of your work by deeply integrating with all aspects of your ClickUp Workspace—tasks, documents, and soon, chat. This deep integration allows for more precise and actionable insights. ChatGPT, in comparison, offers only surface-level search capabilities and lacks the context awareness necessary for deep workflow integration.
  • Advanced Productivity Features: ClickUp Brain goes beyond basic AI functionalities. It includes AI-powered writing tools, team reports, project updates, and more, all designed to save you time and enhance your workflow with just a click.

Connected AI is the next evolution in intelligence-powered work, providing a cohesive, powerful experience that transforms our daily work lives.

Connected AI at a Glance: How It Transforms Your Roadblocks into New Efficiencies

Managing multiple tools, platforms, and vast amounts of data can create significant roadblocks to efficiency.

ClickUp’s Connected AI is designed to turn these challenges into opportunities for faster information gathering, smarter decision making, and seamless action.

Here’s a quick overview of how Connected AI can transform your workflow:

1. Simplify Information Overload

Finding specific information across multiple platforms can be a daunting task. Connected AI centralizes your data, making it easily searchable and accessible.

Now, all your critical information is at your fingertips.

Need to review key talking points from recent board decks? With Connected AI, you can generate a summary in seconds, avoiding the hassle of searching through multiple documents.

2. Find Anything, Instantly

Connected AI works in real-time, providing instant access and insights.

You can interact with your data immediately, without any delays, ensuring you have the information you need when you need it.

Need to know the marketing budget for next quarter or summary of key points from yesterday’s all hands deck? Just ask Connected AI, and it will instantly retrieve the exact information from your relevant documents.

3. Streamline Scattered Work

The “toggle tax” of switching between different apps disrupts productivity.

Connected AI integrates all your tools in one place, streamlining your workflow and keeping you focused on what matters.

Working on a project that requires information from Google Drive, GitHub, and Confluence? Connected AI allows you to access and manage all this data directly within ClickUp, eliminating the need to switch platforms.

4. Eliminate Confusion and Costs

Managing numerous apps and AI solutions can be both confusing and expensive.

Connected AI simplifies this by consolidating your tools, reducing costs and complexity.

Replace multiple single-function apps with Connected AI, which integrates seamlessly into ClickUp, reducing both your subscription costs and the complexity of managing various tools.

5. Versatile and Secure

Connected AI handles both private and public files, ensuring comprehensive support for all your documents, regardless of where they are stored.

Additionally, ClickUp respects all your existing permissions and does not train AI models with your data, ensuring your information remains secure and private.

Whether you’re dealing with confidential internal documents or public project files, Connected AI allows you to search and interact with all your content seamlessly.
