Clean the post, the saddle and seatpost clamps. Grease the bolts and put antiseize on the post.
If still creaking suggest you get the seat post tube reamed.
Or just buy a new bike.

Once you've tried cleaning/applying grease, antiseize, carbon paste, etc, your best bet is a process of elimination. I had a similar thing recently. Swapped saddle - still creaked. Swapped seatpost clamp - still creaked. Swapped seatpost - makes the occasional little click, but far less persistent & irritating than before.
Worst case scenario, but also check the welds around the top tube/seat tube area for any tiny cracks.

...carbon assembly paste.^ This is what I use for ali to ali.
Anyone know any ideas of stopping an Ali seatpost creaking in an Ali frame. I am sick of trying to clean it out all the time. Keeps coming back.
