Voice Mode
Miguel
Summary
ClickUp BrainMax already includes Speech-to-Text input — which is useful, but fundamentally limited.
What’s missing is a real-time, conversational Voice Mode, comparable to ChatGPT’s Voice experience, enabling interactive dialog, contextual reasoning, and hands-free operation.
This would unlock a new level of productivity for users who rely on multimodal workflows.

- Problem
Speech-to-Text is linear:
You dictate → it transcribes → you still need to interact manually.
This leads to:
• Continuous context switching between voice and keyboard
• No interactive reasoning or follow-up questions
• No hands-free assistance when ideating, planning, or managing tasks
• Lost potential for rapid, natural AI interaction
In short: Speech-to-Text is input. Voice Mode is interaction.
ClickUp currently only supports the former.

- Why this matters now
Modern AI workflows are shifting toward conversational, multimodal agents.
ChatGPT’s Voice Mode demonstrated how dramatically productivity increases when users can think out loud, iterate verbally, and co-create with the AI in dialogue.
ClickUp already has the AI engine (BrainMax) and the UI layer.
What’s missing is conversational interaction.
Not adopting this now is an opportunity cost.

- Requested Feature: BrainMax Conversational Voice Mode
A true Voice Mode should enable:
A. Real-time two-way interaction
• Speak to BrainMax
• BrainMax responds verbally
• Natural, iterative conversation (not just transcription)
B. Contextual task execution
“Turn this into a task.”
“Summarize what I just said.”
“Create a project plan based on this idea.”
“Update the status and assign it to…”
All via voice, without manual confirmation.
C. Cognitive collaboration
• Brainstorming sessions
• Planning workflows
• Generating requirements or SOPs
• Clarifying intentions (“Do you mean…?”)
D. Mobile-first advantage
On-the-go productivity:
• In the car
• While walking
• During workshops
• Between meetings

Hey Alex Omeyer (ClickUp), I jumped on Canny to created something similar to this request. Do you know who the PM for BrainGPT is, and would you know if this fits neatly on their roadmap?
Lately, I'm looking into ways of keeping data in ClickUp vs. duplicating it in NotebookLM. I use that for deep-diving and this request notes features that would really help me move away from it.

I literally came here to create the same request. I think it's important to also implement the ability for what the AI is speaking to be shown on the screen and be able to be copied and any links to sites or tasks should be clickable and you should be able to navigate as the conversation continues without interrupting the conversation that would truly be next level.
What also would set ClickUp's brain in a conversational mode apart from other existing AI's conversational modes is if it paid close attention to being able to be interrupted quickly, and if it's replies, do not waste time by repeating things, but rather speak like a true assistant would in a professional setting, when working at a pace that is designed to accomplish as much as possible in as little amount of time possible.
I say this because in every instance of conversational AI, the responses are littered with formality that delays getting to the point, the answer, the knowledge, the insights sought.
Anything that could be done to tweak the AI to feel much more like a well-informed conversationally astute team member and less like a regurgitative overtly polite semantic kiss ass would be an astounding achievement because that is yet to exist.
