Will or ClickUp Brain? You can use both.
ClickUp Brain is the AI built into ClickUp: it knows the workspace’s tasks, docs, conversations and connected apps. Will works with ClickUp and with everything outside it, like the ERP, the bank, the store and email, and keeps operations moving across those systems.

Will
ClickUp presents itself as the app that replaces all the others. Will does the opposite: it works with all of them.
ClickUp included. Your ERP, bank, store and CRM stay where they are, and Will does the work between them, with no migration and no change to how the company runs.
