ClickUp has strategically advanced its AI capabilities with the acquisition of Codegen, a leading platform for AI-powered code generation and agentic AI. This move directly fuels the development of ClickUp's new "Super Agents," designed to function as intelligent digital coworkers that autonomously execute projects and build software within ClickUp's unified workspace, aiming to maximize human productivity.
ClickUp acquires AI platform Codegen to accelerate its new "Super Agents" initiative.
Super Agents are AI teammates with human-level memory that learn from interactions.
They can autonomously manage projects, communicate, and build tools with over 500 work skills.
The AI operates natively within ClickUp's platform to eliminate context fragmentation.
Codegen's founder and CEO, Jay Hack, will become ClickUp's Head of AI.
The acquisition aims to create a "Converged AI Workspace" where any user can deploy AI coworkers.
This acquisition marks ClickUp's push into a new category of work AI. Super Agents, supercharged by Codegen's proprietary agentic technology, are engineered to collaborate like human coworkers. They possess contextual memory, learn continuously, and can autonomously complete complex projects and generate software. By operating within ClickUp's unified environment, these agents have access to all plans, docs, and goals, eliminating the typical context fragmentation that hinders AI assistants.
The technology promises end-to-end workflow automation where AI can proactively manage tasks and even build new tools. ClickUp emphasizes that this enables users to create and scale work systems without writing code, all within enterprise-grade security parameters. Zeb Evans, ClickUp Founder and CEO, stated: “The future isn’t about humans adapting to AI, it’s about AI adapting to humans. By bringing Codegen’s world-class team and technology together with ClickUp Super Agents, we’re realizing the promise of truly intelligent digital coworkers."
Beyond technology, the acquisition is a significant talent play in the competitive AI landscape. Codegen founder and CEO, Jay Hack, a recognized figure in AI development, will transition to become ClickUp's Head of AI. His vision aligns with ClickUp's product strategy, focusing on context as the key to agentic AI. Hack noted: “The bottleneck to agents transforming how work is done is no longer AI capabilities, it’s context. ClickUp is the only platform that houses all of a company’s plans, docs, and goals in one place."
The combined vision positions ClickUp not merely as a productivity tool but as a "Converged AI Workspace." The goal is to empower every knowledge worker to become a software creator and to deploy an AI workforce that scales across functions like software engineering, product management, sales, and enterprise workflows.
ClickUp's acquisition of Codegen signals a ambitious shift from AI as a feature to AI as an integrated teammate. By embedding advanced agentic AI directly into its unified work platform, ClickUp is betting that the future of productivity lies in AI entities that can understand, remember, and act with full organizational context, fundamentally changing how teams build and execute work.
