ClickUp Brain: Assistant in ClickUp that writes tasks, summarizes project status and answers from team docs.

Zendesk AI: AI agents and agent suggestions in the Zendesk support suite.

It builds the project status from tasks as they are: if the team does not close tasks on time, the report shows a fictional picture
AI access is often enabled for the whole team at once and billed per person: check how many people actually need it
Answers from workspace documents are visible to everyone with access to the workspace: keep HR and finance documents in a separate private space

Automatic sentiment classification gets irony and slang wrong: do not tie priority to it without checking
The agent sends a suggested reply only after reading it: the model mixes up terms of different plans
Customer tickets with personal data are stored in Zendesk's cloud: set up deletion after a retention period
