What does this automation do?
An agent that has watched your delivery history sizes each new ticket and writes the estimate straight back onto it.
What can you do with it?
- Get a first estimate before the planning meeting
- Base the number on how long your team actually takes
- Stop estimating the same kind of ticket from scratch every sprint
The Steps
This automation runs in 3 steps:
- When ClickUp — New Task
- Then Taskade AI — Ask an agent ("Estimator")
- Then ClickUp — Update Task
What makes this different from a Zapier-style flow?
The "Estimator" step is not a one-off model call. It is a Taskade AI agent that knows your team size, your sprint length and your work breakdown, remembers how long similar tickets actually took to close, so every run builds on the last one instead of starting from an empty prompt.
A stateless "ask the model" step forgets everything the moment it returns. An agent keeps its knowledge and its memory between runs, carries its own tools, and can be handed work by other automations.
Who is this automation for?
Built for delivery leads and agency producers. An agent that has watched your delivery history sizes each new ticket and writes the estimate straight back onto it.
How do you set it up?
