Audio By Carbonatix

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 23, 2025--

ClickUp, the platform that converges all software, humans, and agents, today announced the acquisition of Codegen, a leading platform for AI-powered code generation and agentic AI. This move brings Codegen’s pioneering technology and team into ClickUp to accelerate ClickUp's latest AI development: Super Agents that build, think, and collaborate like human coworkers.

Super Agents represent a new era for work AI. Strengthened by Codegen’s proprietary agentic AI technology, Super Agents can autonomously complete projects, generate software, and take action with 500+ work skills. They feature human-level memory, learn from every interaction, and operate natively within ClickUp’s unified workspace. This eliminates context fragmentation and enables true end-to-end workflow automation. For the first time, any user can create and deploy AI teammates that proactively manage projects, communicate, and even build new tools, all with enterprise-grade security and permissions.

“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," Zeb Evans, ClickUp Founder + CEO said. "Super Agents don’t just automate. They understand, remember, and act with context, unlocking a new era of productivity where anyone can build and scale work systems without writing a single line of code.”

In addition to breakthrough technology, the acquisition also represents a major win for ClickUp in the AI talent war. Jay Hack, Codegen founder and CEO, is a respected voice in the AI space and has been on the front-lines of AI development for many years. As part of the acquisition, he will take over as Head of AI at ClickUp.

“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," added Hack. "By combining Codegen’s agentic technology with ClickUp’s unified workspace, we’re not just building a smarter coding tool; we’re building a Super Agent workforce that scales infinitely across software engineering, product management, sales, enterprise workflows, and beyond.”

With this acquisition, ClickUp cements its position as the world’s first Converged AI Workspace, empowering every knowledge worker to become a software creator and every team to maximize human productivity.
