Asana Unveils Operating System for Human-Agent Teams
Agentic Work Management solves the AI productivity gap; Organizations can run critical work with humans and agents on the same plan, with the same context, under the same governance
Asana announces next generation AI Teammates purpose-built for industries and Asana Dash, an AI Chief of Staff for every user that knows your individual goals, priorities and what needs your attention
New apps coming soon: Asana Service Management for IT, Command by Asana for Builders, and Asana Client Management for Professional Services
The launch arrives at a pivotal moment for enterprises. Today, 75% of knowledge workers use AI on the job*, yet only 5% of companies report meaningful productivity gains**. This is what Asana calls the AI productivity gap, and it comes down to four reasons:
- Hard to get started: It's hard for teams to discover the right agents and visualize their current processes and workflows.
- Agents aren't team players: There is no framework for individuals to interact with agents in multiplayer mode alongside the rest of their team.
- Agents lack context: Most agents aren't onboarded with the context of how their teams operate, prior decisions, or what their priorities are.
- Hard to govern: CIOs and IT leaders are concerned about agents operating with unchecked data access and no cost oversight.
Organizations need an operating layer on top, a place where humans and agents run critical workflows together.
This is what Asana can deliver today.
What’s new
Agentic Work Management is Asana's easy button for AI productivity across every team. Built to close the AI gap, it delivers in several key ways: supercharging teams with ready-to-go agents, eliminating the busywork that slows every team down, and making sure every individual always knows their next best action.
Agentic Work Management enabled by a new generation of teammates
Agentic Work Management introduces a new way to use Asana, with agents enabled for every layer of the business:
- For personal use, an AI Chief of Staff - called Asana Dash - that understands each user’s goals, priorities, and the work that needs attention across teams and tools. It captures follow-ups from meetings, Slack threads, and email, turns them into structured work in the Work Graph, and connects users to the right AI Teammates for specific tasks and projects to move work forward.
- For teams, AI Teammates are now more capable, more connected, and easier to adopt, with a new chat-based front door, in-product recommendations, a Skills library for repeatable work, and integrations across Gmail, Outlook, Slack, HubSpot, Figma, Canva, and more. Because they operate in a shared system with memory of past decisions and working patterns, each workflow starts with more context and gets sharper over time.
- For specific industries where teams rely on deeply specialized workflows, Asana is expanding its portfolio of AI Teammates with pre-built, industry-specific agents for high-value workflows in manufacturing, retail, and other industries. Each arrives pre-onboarded to the work it supports, helping teams get value faster.

New applications coming soon: the OS packaged for the teams that need it most
Asana is packaging its operating system for the teams whose work is most dependent on coordinated execution.
- Asana Service Management unifies ticketing and project execution for IT, HR, facilities, and other service teams to resolve key issues without human touch. A self-learning knowledge base improves deflection over time. When a request needs another team involved, Asana can move from ticket to project without losing context, something legacy ITSM tools structurally cannot do.
- Command by Asana is a planning and product development system for humans and agents to work in sync. Specs write themselves from context across past tickets, PRs, meetings, and notes. Releases hold because engineering managers can model their backlog against release dates and run what-if scenarios across capacity and velocity without the spreadsheets. Leaders can ask a question or check the live dashboard to see what's off track, why, and which dependencies are hidden.
- Asana Client Management runs the full agency lifecycle in one system. Deliver every client a branded portal where all communication lives in one place, keeping them informed and aligned from intake through delivery. AI agents handle the work that slows teams down: capacity planning, SOW creation, asset production, status drafts. And, with a live view of project and client health, resourcing decisions happen before problems surface, not after.
"For 18 years, Asana has solved one of the hardest problems in business: helping teams coordinate at scale across goals, decisions, and handoffs. The foundation we built - the Enterprise Work Graph, shared memory, multiplayer coordination, and governance - is precisely what the agentic era requires. Asana's OS is how AI moves from helping individuals work faster to supercharging entire organizations," said
“Many vendors are repositioning around AI agents, but layering agents onto coordination-centric systems does not address the core challenge of enterprise execution. As organizations move toward more dynamic, cross-system workflows, the need is shifting from coordination to Adaptive Work Orchestration, where humans and AI operate against shared context, with embedded governance and continuous visibility. Asana’s Agentic Work Management approach reflects this shift, combining a structured work graph with orchestration capabilities to support execution across people, systems, and intelligent agents at scale,” says
