ClickUp cut 22% of its 1,300-person workforce in May 2026 as part of an AI-focused restructuring. CEO Zeb Evans framed the layoffs as a "structural bet on AI" not cost-cutting. The company runs ~3,000 internal AI agents—a 3:1 ratio of agents to employees. ClickUp introduced $1M salary bands for anyone creating or managing AI systems that produce "100x impact." The company acquired AI coding platform Codegen in December 2025.
