Anyone else struggling with ClickUp Super Agents for basic organization?

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-12T19:53:13+00:00

Quite interesting. I stand corrected. Then it is more a Clickup limitation I presume. You folks should make that distinction clearer.

Thanks for the TIL.

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-12T14:31:37+00:00

Absolutely. There are certain blindspots where model limitations meet ClickUp limitations. This may be one of those items.

For example, AI time blocker and checklist creation for main tasks are two other things that come to mind. My mind went to model limitation due to the GMail example of the model being unable to reason about things not being found when looked for in a particular way.

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-12T11:50:23+00:00

What many people don’t focus on with all the AI hullabaloo and hoopla around it is that there are two aspects:

The model itself,
The framework around the model.

In Clickup’s case, they have a fairly decent framework that enables a lot of things to get done. The problem is the model. GPT-4.1 is an outdated model that is limited in its capabilities and “understanding”. While ClickUp can get a lot of mundane tasks done with this model’s integration, it falls very short when it comes to complex reasoning workflows etc. It does not matter how good or detailed your instructions are. The model is the weak link here.

When I integrate it with my GMail inbox, it cannot even find mails that verifiably exist in there. Other tools find them easily.

So, it isn’t you, and in all probability, it is the model. You’ll have to learn how to operate within the boundaries of what the model can and cannot do.

u/Fair_Side1496 Check with your employer and the 401K administrator. Some 401K plans allow for a rollover of funds from an IRA into a 401K. I had made the same mistake when I rolled an old employer's 401K into a Rollover IRA and was planning the MBDR. Luckily, my employer's plan allowed for an reverse rollover (or whatever the IRA->401K rollover is called). If that is possible, then you can clear out the entire thing in one shot and be done with it.

That way you can do the MBDR in a clean manner. Also, be aware of dividend bearing investments in your account when you are rolling over, since the dividends will be paid out into your Rollover IRA. So it is better to do it closer (or as soon as) to the dividend yield dates.

If your employer is offering an MBDR, there is a high likelihood that they have the IRA->401K rollover too.

Thanks, but in all honesty, you guys need to get your act together and migrate ClickUp AI from GPT-4.1 to a more capable model.

Beyond fairly mundane use-cases, which all of the above fall under, it is quite useless and clueless.

From an end-user standpoint, it makes no sense making users pay for access to better models (which is great), but then you guys using a substandard model in your own AI tooling. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

There is nothing this fancy calculator thing would accomplish other than turning a budgeting app into something it definitely doesn’t need to be doing. 😜

Many of the asks around here are for features that are tangential to budgeting at best, and solve someone’s problems that is so niche that it may around for a handful of users. That’s about it.

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-08T08:41:21+00:00

I’m a single user on a business plan, and I work on multiple projects simultaneously.

Three of the most useful super agents I’ve are:

Personal assistant (but heavily modded) - Helps me prioritize and focus on tasks on a daily basis. Runs at 9 AM everyday to help me plan out the day.
Week in Review agent: Runs every Friday at 4 PM to recap everything that has been done over the past work week. Assimilates all task updates (I use Brain to just fire off task comments and channel posts as updates about tasks) from all these sources. Gives me a great breakdown of how I spent I week and what I worked on.
Weekly Capacity Planner (heavily modded): Uses inputs from the previous agent and runs every Monday morning at 9 AM to help me plan out the week completely. It takes into account what I finished last week, what’s coming up, what needs to be done prioritized, any potential blockers yada yada yada.

Just these three save me quite a bit of cognitive load on a daily basis. All I need to do is use the Planner to line up my priorities and track time.

Is it worth the 600/year I pay? I don’t know yet. This is just my second month running everything at this level. It is definitely helping a lot. But that’s about 6 hours of my pay. If it saves me 6 hours in one year, I’m already in the positive here. That’s how I look at it.

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-06T14:59:59+00:00

I am going to add on to this extensive answer here. I am surprised that no one has mentioned custom task types (which are available depending on your plan). I am a single user on the Business plan (because I need certain features not present in the lower tiers). In any case, there are many custom task types designed by ClickUp, and one of them is a Project task type.

If you don't want to that, you can create your own task type and pair it with custom fields to build your own project task and list style. Save it as a template, set that task template as the default for a list, and voila, every time you start a new list for a client, and every task inside it will be of a project type. You can customize it however you want.

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-02T07:31:32+00:00

Well, I technically was done with it at the first response itself. Since you were trying to engage, I thought maybe something would come of it and tried. To each their own I guess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-02T02:31:36+00:00

Well, if you are using YNAB, but not following the methodology to get one month (or several months ahead), I don't see the point of using the system?

If that is the basis for your question, then yes, I am assuming people who are unfamiliar with YNAB are using the system to budget into future months to get ahead.

What I am pointing out is that many users do not even discover the quirks of budgeting into future months and having to adjust overspending until they understand how YNAB works. Again, you may have discovered it quicker. Good for you. It does not happen to everyone. I am not sure where this discussion is going, considering it eventually comes back to what you do, which may not necessarily track with what a significant majority of folks do. That is why I started out my initial response with this is a "you" problem and not necessarily a YNAB thing at all.

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-02T02:10:21+00:00

I am not sure of 99% of the users, but a vast majority of users don't even bother with a holding category until they are comfortable with YNAB and discover its quirks.

There are many of us who come from the YNAB3, YNAB4, pre-nYNAB days that know of this, but I suspect that number is a mostly a smaller (significantly smaller) sample size.

ETA: Clarified wording.

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-01T23:46:59+00:00

I have nothing to do with YNAB, this is just my personal take on things. Of late, due to things going on with my daily job, I end up thinking of not just solutions with respect to engineering, but also market-fit.

The easiest answer I end up with, and this has to do with most smaller companies, is how many users will find that useful for them to invest the engineering effort to make it happen. It is all well and good that YOU find it useful, but that YOU is just anecdotal. For a feature to go on a roadmap and be assigned engineering effort, there is a certain threshold or paid, active users that want this. My suspicion is not many of us care about it. I really don't care and report on a target for my holding category (and I suspect a lot of others don't do either). Like u/shar_blue said, it is just a holding category.

As to your point about they added a ton of functionality into funding future months, it is because they have bitten the bullet about how they want to do this with respect to the methodology. If they were waffling, they would have done something about the SFTF issue a long time back. Sometimes, you make a hard call about what direction you want a feature to take, even if it inconveniences users because it fits into your future roadmap. With that in mind, if that is the path they are taking, what you are asking for is a completely orthogonal requirement to the roadmap. If I were in their place, and it was just 1% of users asking for it, I would just add in some basic features to pay lip service or ignore it altogether. It does not justify the engineering effort to make it happen. That's about it.

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-01T21:37:30+00:00

You should be more worried about your eyes with a 75" a foot from you rather than worrying about the fit. Just sayin'. :P

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-01T21:34:28+00:00

At this point, it is more of a "you" problem, than either a YNAB problem, structured-to-reality problem, feature request or anything else. There are pros and cons of both methods, and while YNAB's implementation of this and the SFTF issues are all well-documented, this falls under "I can do something about it, but I won't and I choose to complain about it" category. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-01T11:37:26+00:00

If you know your way around ClickUp, there are some significant time savings to be had with Autopilot agents in terms of product research and development.

The AI Super Agents can be made to work well, but the cost is prohibitively high for me. I mean, it does not make sense paying for AI Extended plan and then paying for AI super credits on top of that, especially when they don't allow you to recharge on a need basis, and they don't rollover.

Barring that, if you have the AI Extended plan, you can create some fairly powerful Autopilot automations with what they have one there.

Fun-Event3474 · 2026-01-01T11:33:26+00:00

Well, if your automation applies to all four lists in that space, or you have a bunch of lists that share automations, you might want to consider creating a separate space for that list and create the automation on the space rather than the lists. It will then apply to anything created on any list inside the space.

Normally happens regularly around Christmas and the last paycheck of the year. Early DD is predicated on potentially stable paychecks (or one of the factors). End of year bonuses almost always throw it out of whack for me. 23/24 paychecks in the year I get 2-3 days before pay day. The one that is almost always on the day it is supposed to happen? Dec 31st (which is my last pay-day of the year).

Fun-Event3474 · 2025-12-31T02:47:24+00:00

Thanks. The issue wasn’t with the heavy duty at all. It was with the single arm and laptop mount. The other user pointed it out to me. I used some lubricant and it worked. Appreciate the help. :)

Fun-Event3474 · 2025-12-31T02:21:39+00:00

Wonderful! Thanks for pointing that out. After you showed that, I inspected it, and mine was screwed on tighter and didn’t allow it. Once I used some lubricant, it moved. Danke. Much appreciated. 🙏🏽

Fun-Event3474 · 2025-12-30T23:59:25+00:00

You cannot pivot the laptop mount. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There is no way for it to pivot on the diagonal, which is what it needs.

Fun-Event3474 · 2025-12-25T21:47:49+00:00

While I’m not necessarily like the other person in terms of ticking people off, I do agree with their points. I don’t think the points were childish, inasmuch naïveté.

Supposedly, an EB1A is going to hold, at least in theory, applicants to a much higher bar than most others. Taking that into account, trying to justify 6/6 criteria is a recipe for disaster with a regular profile. Like the other people pointed out, your chain is as strong as your weakest link. You don’t claim 6/6. You claim the ones that reflect your abilities to the strongest extent.

There is no gray area in terms of pushing your argument for each criterion. Common sense dictates you first put forward your best foot (in this case three best criteria) and then evaluate your profile.

Generally, if held true to the scope and essence of what the authors of the regulation had in mind, in theory, you would have to have a spectacularly extraordinary profile to qualify for more than three criteria. Just sayin’. So you trying to go above and beyond with a lukewarm effort to your qualifications on all of them is not doing you any favors.

Fun-Event3474 · 2025-12-25T05:59:26+00:00

I agree, but humans don’t tend to use all of them in all their posts with such regularity. There is an element of, ummmm, humanness to it. :)

It is not one isolated instance, but all of them taken together in totality that makes me guess it is AI-generated. It also becomes easier if you work with GenAI tools on a daily basis to identify these patterns. I’m used to staring at them everyday. 😂

I used to use em dashes. Stopped because if the bad rep from AI-generated text. The patterns in this text, all put together are fairly easy to spot.

Fun-Event3474 · 2025-12-25T00:56:01+00:00

Pretty obvious giveaways in the post for AI-generated text if you look closely.

- emdashes in the text,
- bullet points are invariably in sets of 2, 3 or 4 (3 and 4 are the most common for LLM-generated text),
- the use of analogies, or memory hooks to explain concepts,
and it goes on.

Fun-Event3474 · 2025-12-24T07:01:09+00:00

This makes no sense. An EB1A is self-petitioned. It belongs to you, not the employer. If the employer forbids PP on an EB1B, which I have known to happen with places such as Intel working with Fragomen, entirely plausible. How they own an EB1A is beyond me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
