Another AI agent builder is joining the workforce. Here's how Asana's AI Studio works.


Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way into workplaces and various industries. From handling administrative tasks during meetings to aiding in sales calls, AI agents are increasingly being utilized for a variety of functions. These include streamlining repetitive tasks, automating workflows, and serving as accessible tools for software development. Now, Asana, the workflow platform, has introduced its own AI innovation.


At the Work Innovation Summit in New York on Tuesday, Asana launched its new AI Studio: a "no-code builder that lets any team design any workflow, embed AI agents without code, and deploy the workflow directly where teams are already working in Asana," according to their press release.


Building upon the platform's existing rules engine, AI Studio allows teams to tailor AI agents to perform specific tasks and carry out actions throughout all stages of project management. The tool is adaptable across various teams—whether marketing, operations, IT, or HR. Its approach encompasses four key stages—intake, planning, execution, and reporting—regardless of the project’s specifics.


During a series of demos at the Summit, Asana showcased how AI Studio assists teams in creating campaign materials, detecting gaps in project data, prioritizing requests, and monitoring efficiency over time. Teams can upload crucial contextual information, such as style guides or policies, enabling Asana's AI to accurately generate materials and keep tasks up to date.


"Unlike other AI tools that merely synthesize data and create content, Asana's AI agents function as integral team members," the company emphasized. This aligns with recent innovations from other tech giants. Salesforce has made similar announcements, and Microsoft unveiled 10 AI agents this week, equating their potential impact to 187 full-time staff members.


Dustin Moskovitz, Asana's co-founder and CEO, highlighted that AI Studio allows customers to design workflows using straightforward language. This trend of conversational, chatbot-style AI is becoming common in the industry. The company also announced a Collaborative Work Management Certification program to support customers in shaping their AI strategies. According to Asana's 2024 State of Work Innovation report, "low-value busywork" consumes 53% of employees' working hours. Research from other companies mirrors these findings, pointing to AI’s role in freeing up time for strategic and creative endeavors.


The sophistication of these AI-powered workflows, termed "Smart workflows," hinges on Asana’s Work Graph®—a system that captures the critical context and historical links between tasks, identifying who does what, by when, and why, across an organization.


In his keynote speech, Asana's Chief Product Officer Alex Hood reassured attendees that their embedded AI is secure and HIPAA-compliant. For now, Asana envisions AI Studio as a complement to human workers rather than a replacement. When questioned about potential job impacts, Hood mentioned that the tool had enhanced productivity for Asana’s own marketing team without affecting its structure. "The team is intact—they're just more efficient," he said.


Starting today, October 22, early access to Asana AI Studio is available for Enterprise and Enterprise+ customers, with Advanced annual tiers to follow. For more details, visit [asana.com/product/ai](https://asana.com/product/ai).
