Customers trialing AI Studio during the beta noted several advantages when deploying AI agents, said Paige Costello, head of AI at Asana. “The key benefits we’re seeing are the speed of decision-making and the overall acceleration of work and reduction in administrative and busy work,” she said.

“There is tremendous potential in AI-based agents to expedite workflow,” said Wayne Kurtzman, research vice president covering social, communities and collaboration at IDC. “The ability to deploy agents in the stream of work, where teams work, and without code becomes a powerful proposition.”  

With the launch, Asana also announced additional features for AI Studio. These include a wider variety of potential AI agent actions, more control over smart workflow capabilities such as data access and costs, and an increase in the amount of context the AI agent can reference in its decision-making.
