Asana
Application
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.
AI agent
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.
Agent platform
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.
