    FAQ

    Questions about OpenAI + ClickUp.

    How does GPT triage new ClickUp tasks?
    ClickUp Task Created → OpenAI Chat with "classify priority, list, assignee" → workflow Update Task with the predicted fields. Add "ai-triaged" tag to avoid re-triggering.
    Can OpenAI generate subtasks from a ClickUp task description?
    Yes. Use response_format=json_schema with { "subtasks": [{ "name": str, "due_offset_days": int }] }. Loop the result and call Create Subtask.
    How do I generate weekly ClickUp status reports with GPT?
    Scheduled Friday: list tasks updated this week → format → OpenAI Chat with "write a 5-bullet stakeholder summary" → post to Slack / email. The weekly digest writes itself.
    Can GPT detect duplicate ClickUp tasks?
    Yes. On Task Created, search recent tasks in the list. Pass candidates + new task to OpenAI with "rate similarity 0-1". High-similarity matches get a "potential duplicate of #X" comment for the assignee.
    How do I cost-control GPT on ClickUp automation?
    Default to gpt-4o-mini for triage and classification (very cheap). Reserve gpt-4o for richer drafting. Cap max_tokens and use response_format=json to keep outputs predictable.
    Can GPT write ClickUp task descriptions from a title alone?
    Yes. ClickUp Task Created with empty description → OpenAI generates a structured description (context, goal, success criteria) → Update Task writes it back. Useful for one-line tasks dropped in from chat or email.
