ClickUp has acquired AI coding startup Codegen as part of its efforts to deepen the use of agentic AI within its productivity platform. The acquisition is aimed at accelerating ClickUp’s AI roadmap, particularly its work on autonomous “Super Agents” designed to work alongside human teams.
According to ClickUp, the integration of Codegen’s technology will support the development of AI agents that can independently plan tasks, generate software, and execute complex workflows. These agents are expected to bring greater automation and contextual understanding to engineering, product, and enterprise operations.
Founded in 2023 by Jay Hack, Codegen built an agentic AI platform positioned as an AI coworker. Its tools integrate with platforms such as GitHub, Slack, and Linear, allowing users to convert natural-language instructions into planned code changes and automated pull requests. The startup focused on enabling AI systems to understand project context and carry out development tasks with limited human intervention.
Following the acquisition, Hack will join ClickUp as Head of AI. Codegen’s core team and proprietary technology will also be integrated into ClickUp’s operations. The company said the move will help it build AI agents that can understand context across tasks, documents, and goals, extending beyond rule-based automation.
Founded in 2017 by Zeb Evans and Alex Yurkowski, ClickUp operates as a unified productivity and AI workspace. The company’s stated goal is to reduce time spent on work by consolidating tools and workflows into a single platform.
As of 2025, ClickUp is valued at around $4 billion following its $400 million Series C funding round in late 2021. The company has crossed $300 million in annual recurring revenue.
In recent months, ClickUp has expanded its capabilities through acquisitions, including enterprise search startup Qatalog in November 2025 and product management platform Kitemaker in May 2025.
