Anthropic vs Asana

Assistant for chat, document analysis and coding, used in the browser and in desktop and mobile apps.

Lets users collaborate with Claude to create on-brand visual work (decks, prototypes, wireframes, marketing collateral) with design-system import and Claude Code integration via /design-sync.

Desktop application for scientific research that runs analyses, searches scientific databases and traces work from data wrangling through to publication.

Application that scans codebases for high-severity vulnerabilities, validates findings by adversarial verification and recommends patches for review, with a companion Claude Code plugin.

Claude working inside Excel, PowerPoint, Word and Outlook with context carried across the documents — preserving templates and house styles and showing every edit as tracked changes, highlighted cells or draft emails.

Claude tagged as @Claude inside Slack threads and channels: it reads thread context and replies in real time, analyses conversations, pulls data, drafts content, monitors channels, triages alerts and runs standing instructions without leaving Slack.

Coding agent that works on a codebase from the terminal, an IDE extension and a desktop app.

Agentic task app in which Claude works asynchronously across a user's files and tools toward a stated goal, checked in on from desktop, web or phone.

Browser extension that lets Claude act inside Chrome on the user's behalf — reading pages, clicking, typing and filling forms to work through multi-step web tasks without approving each step, with the user keeping control of what it may do.

Hosted API offering a pre-built configurable agent harness with managed sandboxes and persistent sessions for long-running asynchronous agent tasks, billed separately from token usage.

Asana's own description: "your AI chief of staff." A personal AI assistant that reads across a user's projects, meetings, Slack and email, delivers a daily brief of blockers and pending decisions, recommends the next action and routes work to the right AI Teammate, and answers on-demand questions through a conversational interface -- while the user stays in control of approvals and final decisions.

More than 30 pre-built AI agents -- spanning marketing, operations, IT, manufacturing, retail, professional services and healthcare roles -- plus a builder for custom agents (define a role, add guidance and examples, attach skills, grant access), assigned work like a colleague and acting on the same plan as human teammates through Asana's Work Graph.

A no-code automation builder inside Asana: set a trigger (a new task, form submission or project event), give AI plain-language instructions for the action, and it runs automatically -- validating and routing intake, flagging risks and blockers, drafting briefs and templates, and sending alerts.
