California-based AI productivity startup ClickUp has launched ClickUp Super Agents, a new class of AI coworkers designed to operate as real users inside the company’s workspace, marking a major shift in how AI is embedded into day-to-day work.
The launch was announced on 23 December 2025 by Zeb Evans, Founder and CEO of ClickUp, via Product Hunt. ClickUp said Super Agents are available immediately to all users.
“Today we’re launching the first truly human‑like AI agents in the world… ClickUp Super Agents™,” Evans wrote. “AI has exploded. Yet 95% of companies are failing at AI adoption. The reality is that AI is not meant to be adopted, instead it should be adapted – to you.”
According to ClickUp, Super Agents are designed to function as AI teammates rather than standalone tools. They can be @mentioned, assigned tasks, sent direct messages, and scheduled, operating within the same permission systems, audit trails, and data models as human users.
“Super Agents are AI coworkers that live inside your workspace as real users. They do real work,” Evans said. “You can @mention them, DM them, assign tasks, review outcomes, and trust them to move projects forward – not just generate text.”
The company said the agents are built natively inside ClickUp and can access tasks, documents, schedules, and conversations in a unified context. ClickUp also claims the agents have both short-term and long-term memory, stored directly in editable documents, allowing teams to inspect and modify how the agents retain information.
“They run as actual users with real guardrails. They share the same data model, permissions, and audit trails as humans, so every action is transparent and controlled,” Evans wrote. “They think and act from full context. Fully native to ClickUp, they see tasks, docs, schedules, and conversations together.”
ClickUp said Super Agents can be created using its proprietary Super Agents Builder and are capable of running workflows in the background through triggers and schedules. The company claims the agents come with more than 500 fine-tuned skills intended to produce human-like outputs across tasks such as triage, management, email, coding, design, and workflow execution.
“They learn from human interaction. Every time you give feedback, they listen and improve,” Evans added. “They have human‑level memory. Short‑term, long‑term, and editable memory stored directly in docs you can open, inspect, and edit.”
The launch follows what ClickUp described as a multi-year architectural rebuild, allowing humans, software, and AI agents to operate on the same proprietary platform and data models.
“This has been years in the making. We rebuilt our architecture (all custom and proprietary) so humans, software, and AI agents all operate on the same platform and data models,” Evans said.
ClickUp said the release of Super Agents represents its largest step yet toward its stated mission of maximizing human productivity.
“You lead. Your Super Agents go to work,” Evans wrote. “This is the biggest step forward we’ve ever taken toward our mission of maximizing human productivity.”
The launch has also received public visibility through a promotional display in Times Square, which ClickUp highlighted on its official LinkedIn account.
