The AI Subtask Generator automates the process of decomposing complex tasks into manageable subtasks, elevating project planning and execution. Traditionally, teams manually dissect tasks using spreadsheets or notes, often missing critical steps or dependencies.
By leveraging natural language processing and contextual insights, ClickUp's AI Subtask Generator produces detailed, prioritized subtasks tailored to your project context.
Integrated with ClickUp Brain and Brain Max, this feature seamlessly aligns subtasks with your existing workflows, goals, and team responsibilities—turning vague tasks into clear, actionable plans.
Traditional method: Manually write subtasks based on your understanding.
With ClickUp AI: Input a detailed description of your primary task. ClickUp Brain analyzes context from related tasks, docs, and goals to initiate subtask generation.
Traditional method: Use separate tools or spreadsheets to list subtasks.
With ClickUp AI: Activate the AI Subtask Generator within your task view. The AI scans project data and suggests an initial set of relevant subtasks.
