Asana

Work management platform designed for human-agent collaboration.

Overview

Asana is a work management platform designed for human-agent collaboration. It combines project management, AI agents, and workflow automation into a unified system where teams and AI Teammates work together on shared plans with full context and governance.

The platform features Asana's Work Graph—a neural network connecting tasks, projects, goals, and dependencies—enabling both humans and agents to understand who is doing what, by when, and toward which goal. Pre-built AI Teammates handle specialized work like planning, compliance, reporting, and data management, while custom agents can be created for complex coordination-heavy tasks.

Asana serves multiple use cases through specialized products: Agentic Work Management for cross-functional teams, Service Management for IT and HR, Client Management for agencies, and Command by Asana for developer teams.
